ECC83 MG Balanced

Product Details

JJ ECC83MG 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. The ECC83MG has a fair amount of harmonic density but remains very open sounding whether played clean or overdriven. Tonally it fits nicely between the JJ ECC83S and JJ ECC803S.

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

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.

The JJ ECC83S MG utilizes a medium length ribbed plate design that is much like the old Amperex and Brimar European designs. Sonically it’s nice and thick sounding with a good edge that’s not brittle. It has a bold character with a fair amount of harmonic density but remains very open sounding whether played clean or overdriven. The ECC83MG is a little more polite than the JJ ECC83S which is pretty aggressive. Tonally it fits very nicely right between the JJ ECC83S and JJ ECC803S.

It has plenty of definition even when used in an amp with lots of gain and the microphonics are very low
