Sovtek 12AX7LPS Long Plate Preamp Valve
From £29.42

Sovtek 12AX7LPS is a long plated version of the 12AX7/ECC83, favoured by many amp manufacturers for its smooth, rich tone. Not recommended for the V1 position in combo amps because long plate 12AX7/ECC83S types are more prone to microphonics. We also have a balanced option for phase splitter applications.
