ECC802S Gold Pin Balanced

Product Details

JJ ECC802S Gold Pin with fully Balanced triodes. We recommend these for long tail phase inverter stages which are common in most push pull circuits (most all guitar amps), or anywhere that a tube with symmetrical sections is desired.

All our preamp tubes are stringently tested for noise and microphonics using Amplitrex testers driving an external amp. There is no extra charge for low noise and microphonics testing like with other tube vendors. Additionally the tubes undergo a battery of tests for basic performance characteristics and faults such as: Emissions, Transconductance, H-K and Grid leakage, etc...

Further, all of our ECC802S's undergo a lengthened test duration to insure stability and accurate test results (as is necessary with all high current pre's).

If a tube does not pass our strict performance criteria it's tossed or sent back to JJ Electronic for evaluation.

The JJ ECC802S Gold Pin is a long variation of the classic 12AU7/ECC82. While the JJ ECC82 is a very even and round sounding tube, the ECC802S Gold Pin has a noticeable bump in the upper mids and highs. This gives them more of a colored tone that is great where added mid-range detail is desired.

The Gold Pin variants always clip a little smoother and have an extended presence.

We recommend these for long tail phase inverter stages or anywhere that symmetrical performance between triodes is sought. It also gives you the plate current and transconductance spec for each triode which is nice if you're trying to keep records or maintain exact consistency from tube to tube. If you need multiple matched tubes please see our "Balanced and Matched" option.
