Fender Blues Junior valve kit with three Sovtek 12Ax7WCs and two Sovetek EL84Ms. An excellent upgrade for Fender Blues Junior amps.
The Sovtek 12AX7WC is a higher gain valve with a lovely, balanced tone and a reputation for the lowest microphonics of any Russian manufactured 12AX7 type valve. The “W” denotes that the valve is ruggedised, perfect for the knocks and jostles common with combo amps.
The Sovtek EL84M (“M” for “military-grade”) is also a ruggedised valve with a slightly wider profile than the standard EL84. These top-grade valves last 2-3 times longer than standard EL84s. They also produce 2/3rds more watts per valve, granting increased headroom (meaning more clean volume before the amp breaks up).
Valves are Russian made and tested at the factory to US Dept. of Defense standard 133 Revision D. We then use our custom state-of-the-art testers to retest the valves, match the EL84s, and select a balanced 12AX7WC for the phase splitter position. The kit includes test certificates for the EL84M and the balanced 12AX7WC.
Includes a 180 day from receipt warranty (excluding user-caused mechanical damage) for peace of mind.
