Tubes Asylum Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ |
|
I have a vintage set of these. Real Tesla units and have never tried them and wanted my fellow members opinions on using them possibly in a guitar amp. Are they truly a decent copy of a TFK ecc803s or do they simply share same construction? Curious if they have same qualities of a real deal 803s where if used in a guitar amp sounds very bright and some say sterile? I have a real 803s and wasn't impressed when tried in my amp and read after the fact that many TFK tubes are not very popular in the pre amp section with the guitar amp crowd but maybe shine if used in pre amp phase inverter position only because they are so clean and is exactly the type of characteristics you want in a PI tube that won't add to or color the tone. New at a lot of this so don't know if that theory holds water? Wondering if you think it's worth trying these tesla tubes out? I'd love someone to say they are great and full of life in a guitar amp but I won't get my hopes up. Thanks for any insight
