Review: Recommended by the music store rep - I have only had this tube in my ART Voice Channel for a few weeks. So far, I have only noticed a slight difference in how warm the sound is versus the original tube. If I am remembering correctly, tubes have a break-in period to get into there full stride.I don’t leave my channel strip on until I am about to use it. Then, I usually power up for about 30 minutes before use at the high voltage setting. I am satisfied with the output and will keep an eye on how well it performs by comparing older recordings to the latest ones. If, everything goes well over the next 6 months, I plan to buy another tube as a backup to maintain the sound quality and character of my recordings. This tube was recommended by my sales rep. At Sweetwater but I was looking for a better deal here.
Review: It is an amazing tube for sure - Bought this to try out in the v1 slot of my Bugera G20. It is an amazing tube for sure. The pins seem larger and the tube takes a bit more effort to seat, but wow, the tone difference is so obvious with this tube. The immediate difference in tone and color that it brings made me chuckle a bit. From this point forward, I can't go back to the other $25.00 (and cheaper) tubes. This tube replaced the 12AX7 mallard that is sold here on desertcart, and although that tube was really great too, it couldn't hold a candle to this Genalex. I am always inclined to call foul on the "snake oil' that is sold to guitarists, but this is the real thing - It's all there. If you are tone-chasing but don't want to spend crazy money for new-old-stock, then this is the tube for you, bar none. I also used this with my recently-purchased Orange Micro Dark Terror. That amp is a single-tube amp head and it is easy to swap the tube out for comparison. Once again, this Genalex was the proven champ and there was no comparison after that. Whatever this company is doing with their tubes, it is working. And while I have your attention, the Orange also proved how bad the electro-harmonix tubes are. Noisy and devoid of any character, those electros! Genalex all the way.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good tube, good customer service by Frontline Audio.
*by J***R on January 21, 2018*

I put this in my V1 and V2, of my well modded Jet City 50wt head. The tonal change is noticeable, over the stock generic 12ax7b's that came with my amp. More so over a long plate JJ, too. For a do all pre amp tube, this is it. Tungsol 12ax7 Russian's are musical, but really high gain. They may generate way too much gain in certain amps. Like mine, or 5150/6505s. I initially had a problem with my order, as the item description is kinda vague, but does say gold pin. So I was expecting a Russian tube. I got a Chinese tube. I complained, took a picture and pointed out how the Chinese tube isn't a gold pin. I shipped it back, for replacement, in better packing, as the older packing may have seen it's use(Ok all shipping boxes we get, are turned into kindling, so I had nothing better to return ship). So I was expecting one. To my surprise I unroll the better protected new tube, there's two, not one. And they're matched, meaning someone took their (trained and skilled) time with many of these on a special machine and sort match them. Oh. Wow. This is above and beyond. They backed themselves up in correcting the issue I had. I checked old emails and sure enough, they told what they would do. Then they just issued me a refund. Now I feel guilty. I'm buying the rest of my retubing from them. At least I know what tubes to get.
