These Kits are designed and put together to enable you to get the best out of your particular amplifier.
Our Classic kits are aimed at giving you the closest to the original Mullard/Marshall sound that has rocked the music world
The Marshall Vintage Modern Series GT 12AX7M Marshall TAD KT66 full upgrade kit uses the original Marshall KT66 in conjunction with the Groove Tube 12AX7M Super Premium. It is designed to give you a fat biting vintage rock lead sound with early breakup of the original Marshall TAD KT66.The Groove tubes 12AX7M sonically is an absolute classic; the valve is highly musical and harmonically rich and retains the dynamics and the bite of the original British made Mullards.
The 12AX7M have a beautifully silky smooth treble response, midrange warmth and clarity which takes the fizz out of the top end. What sets this valve apart from all the other current production ECC83/12AX7 is it has that vintage bite and articulation and harmonic density when pushed in to distortion.
This works perfectly with the Original Marshall TAD KT66 as it provides a rounded full bodied sound with a smooth top end. The valve breaks up earlier than most KT66 which is great if you want earlier distortion and crunch at lower volumes. Without running this valve hard you get that hint of distortion which gives a nice crunch at lower volumes.
When pushed hard into overdrive the top three strings seemed to stand out more with a nice natural compression. This KT66 does make a really great guitar valve as solos are crisp and punchy. Single note runs stand out with chords fat and crunchy. The overall sound is very warm with a slightly aggressive edge which makes this a great vintage sounding valve.
This combination simply works as you get the preamp bite and harmonic density with output stage compression and early breakup. This is a great choice for classic rock
