Mesa for Mesa

sENTINEL 06.03.2020

It works , i ve tried it with various amps. This works well with Mesa valve amp only. Simply, you need to buy mesa amp in order to get its sound.
It s preamp tube, quite round tones, bright more then I like, i got the feelingthe sound is flat across whole range of tonality & volume. Simply sounds the same, no matter when its loud, quiet, low, deep.
good as orinal part for replacement, Tung Sol has 20x bigger personality.;)

Good middle ground between budget and expensive

Daniel631 22.01.2015

These Mesa Boogies 12 AX7 valves represent a good middle ground between the cheaper budget end of the pre amp valve market, and the more expensive end.

The very cheapest pre amp valves can have issues with their consistency and reliability, and are best avoided. At the opposite end, you can pay huge sums for these valves. However, I would challenge anyone to truly hear the difference between the Mesa Boogies and the really high end units. Remember, there will always be people that will pay ridiculous money for what they think are the best - and the manufacturers know this set prices accordingly.

Be sensible and buy these - not unreliable and cheap, but not over-priced and with the reassurance that the Mesa Boogie brand brings.

its very hard to tell difference between the different brands of tubes mostly because they are all made in three factories around the world - Slovakia ,Russia and China . its the selection of those that show better values while being measured thats critical . These Mesa Boogie pre amp tubes do have much more defined mid range and they are brighter as compare to the other ones I tried

Bought as Backups

Anonymous 24.06.2015

I bought a handful of these as backups for my Mini Rectifier although the 12AX7 is pretty much a universal preamp valve so it could also serve as a replacement in some of my other amps.

No problems when I tested them and it's always good to have backups to hand... you never know when somethings going to go pop and you're left using the house rig!

Best Tube for me!

ai_alex 27.05.2020

This tube feels a lot more lively vs. all others, mids will open up, and treble will be separate layer without affecting mids. Ofc depends on music style, but if you are into classic rock, or metal, Mesa tube will give you exactl sound that you can describe as "rock\metal".

This tube makes a difference even with hybrid-amps (Vox Valvetronix).

Broken after 1 Year of use

NikeD 31.12.2018

Hello,
Failed after one year of use, I will therefore not buy Mesa Tube anymore especailly taken into account this is more expensive than other brands.

Buy JJ it's the same!

byben 22.01.2018

A few years ago, Mesa was selling russian tubes labelled 'Mesa russian2' which were excellent, creamy sounding tubes.
The Mesa tubes of today are JJ clones, maybe selected but the sound is the same, some like them, not me. The amps are working, yes, the clean sounds are correct but distortion (from preamp or pedals) sounds very dry...

If JJ is correct for you, ok it's 10euros...trust me, the Mesa are exactly the same 3times the price..!!

Good!

Rudie 02.07.2018

I put one of these in the v1 position of my Randall RD20H and I heared a very noticeable difference. It's nice and warm, it added more richness and clarity to my tone, definitely an improvement over the default Ruby valve that was in my amp.
