TUBE, SOVTEK, 12AX7WC
Description
Sovtek 12AX7WC dual triode preamp tube. Made in Russia.
W-ruggish valve -> made to withstand more vibration and is good for amp combo
The WC version has the higher gain then the WA. It is also brighter than the WB or WC. It can be used to brighten up what is a dark sounding amp
Usually there are multiple pre-amp stages in heavy rock/ metal amps. The Laney VH 100 is a great example.
The high gain of the Sovtek 12AX7WC pushes the later pre-amp stages into distortion ( “break up”). The chain of 12AX7’s start to break up . As a result the El34’s in the Laney example get a big final push from the pre-amp stages. The lovely hard rock tone magically appears!
