## Questions & Answers

**Q: what kind of sound will this give me in the distortion area?**
A: Distortion doesn't come from just this tube, and in fact in most circuits that are specially designed to get distortion from the 12ax7, this one will probably exhibit the least amount. The LPS is a very clean tube and I've used it mostly in my Hi Fi equipment, not in my guitar amp. JJ/Tesla is where you want to go--I find that one to have a more distorted character when driven in the right circuit.

**Q: Does the "original version" have the "rounded square shape" mica?  or is this the newer "toothed" mica?  thank you much.**
A: Newer version. I wasn’t impressed with the tone of the tube  to be honest

**Q: will these fit in my 1987 laney AOR 50 watt head?**
A: Yes, the 12AX7LPS should work perfectly with your AOR 50.

**Q: What are the sovtek 12ax7lps compaired to the jj's in a marshall 2205 amp?**
A: I've always used the Sovtek ax7 LPS in the Phase Inverter position on my Vox and Egnater amps.  Purportedly to be the best spot for them.  I have never been a big JJ fan ( although I am currently trying a JJ ECC 803 12ax7 Hi Perf tube in P.I. slot in the Egnater - sounds fine )    I am sure the Sovtek LPS would be fine PI tube for the Marshall
