NOS+ 1967 Mullard Blackburn 12AX7 ECC83 Low Noise Guitar Amp Tube

Mullard 12AX7 ECC83 I63 B5K3 – Blackburn 1965 Short Plate Genuine Mullard from the Blackburn factory in England, produced in 1965. The etched codes I63 B5K3 mark it as the desirable short-plate version, a favorite among guitar players. This tube tested very strong on the Amplitrex AT-1000 with excellent transconductance on both triodes, no leakage, and zero gas. In a guitar amp it delivers punchy gain, responsive touch sensitivity, and rich harmonic overdrive — exactly what players love in preamp positions like V1 or V2.
