Instant favorite
I purchased this tube for use in a HB Mighty-5TH (Overkill, I know. It was meant as an experiment)
The packaging was solid and there was no doubt that it would be undamaged. Bonus: It looked really good
Stock, the head sounded hollow and weak with very little low end through my custom Celestion Ten-30 cabinet. It also had crackling noises when turning the knobs.
Replacement was a charm and literally took ten seconds. I also replaced the power tube with a Sovtek one.
Instantly after turning it on I noticed that it sounded full, crisp and defined in the cleans (where I'm usually at) and like an absolute monster (for 5w) when turning the knob. Of course, not like a premium amp into a 4x12", but still very convincing. I had never expected a 5w to be that good through a Ten-30. And as the amp warmed up I was convinced. This was a experiment well worth the time, effort and money.
Pros:
- Quality and insane sound
- Packaging and first impression
- Will upgrade the sound of of cheap amps considerably
Cons:
- Pricey if you need multiple
This is an investment, but a good one.

Good choice
Replaced stock V1 in a JCA50h, along with an Engl select in V2. The result is much less hum on the high gain channel. Shipment was immediate (thank you!), and packaging was great. The tube was worth the extra cost. Good work Engl!
