Description
This new old stock 12AX7-A ECC83 Foil Getter preamp tube was made by Shuguang in the now closed Beijing factory. They are the highly sought after version that are no longer made and getting difficult to find. It is a high quality preamp tube and is regarded for its clarity and brightness. These tubes are OEM intended for installation in new production amplifiers and have no brand name on the glass. They are stock tubes in many amps including Marshall and Mesa Boogie. Considered by many to be the best sounding preamp tube available.
Here is what one of my customers wrote about them:
“NOS Shuguang Foil 12AX7 preamp tubes! Excellent Quality! Woke Up My JCM 800! A+!”

I replaced some Mesas with these Foil Getters in V3 and V4 of a Rev G Triple Rec, and they made a big improvement. They made the amp tighter, punchier, and a little brighter. Highly recommended.

Amazing tube for my Mark IV, Rev G Triple, and Rev F Dual. Old Mesas love these.
