Re: Quality Issues With GT 12AX7M Mullard "Clones"

Mr. D,
I agree. Funny you bring this up. I bought an amp a few years back that came with 5 or 6 GT 12AX7's. One day they worked, and the very next morning, powered it up and - nothing! 3 of the tubes were blown with identical cracks in the envelope between the pins. I thought their claim to fame was a whole lot of testing and screening - Hmmm.... No more GT for me after that. Glad I never spent any $ on their tubes. I will say though, I am the owner of a GT stereo guitar amp and pre-amp that is pretty nice, simple but has a nice range of sounds to goof around with.
