Description

ELECTRON TUBE "SOVTEK" 12AX7WA

W-ruggish valve -> made to withstand more vibration and is good for amp combo

The 12AX7WA has a smooth, round tone.  This ultra "low microphonic" tube is used by Fender®, Ampeg, Carvin, and Hartke, among others.

The WA version has lower gain than the WC- to be more correct the right term is the amplification factor Fender use the WA in amps such as the Blues Jr, Hot Rod Deluxe.  OK so it is branded Groove Tubes, but, it is still a Sovtek 12AX7WA The lower gain makes for an amp with smoother break up of the amp. It also helps make the Hot Rod Deluxe volume much more controllable. Some folks report the volume of the Hot Rod Deluxe is all or nothing. Usually generic ( high gain) 12AX7’s have been fitted, and this magnifies the sensitivity of the volume control
