New design of excellent quality Review: Quality 12BH7 tubes. - I purchased a pair of these for a vintage Sansui amplifer that uses two 12BH7 tubes. In a quest for the perfect tubes for my amplifer I have tried matched NOS tubes from GE, RCA, Westinghouse, Sylvania, and Raython. All of these tubes sounded great, and all differed in certain ways but never really made a lasting impression. I've always believed that NOS tubes were better than the tubes being made today, and depending on which tube and manufacturer, I still believe this to be true, but this Electro-Harmonix 12BH7 took me by surprise! This tube sounded better than every 12BH7 I've tried. These two tubes transformed the sound of my amp for the better and defiantly left an impression unlike the others. The soundstage is much wider, the highs are airy without being harsh, the bass is deep and more defined and the mids are sublime! This is a great well rounded tube. Review: Love it as a phase inverter. - Excellent tube. Replaced a JJ ECC82 in my Harman Kardon A-300 stereo amplifier in the phase inverter position. Hard to explain why I prefer the EHX except to say that it "evens-out" and "warms up" the overall SQ. I've always found JJ's too sterile (these came with the reconditioned amp), so no big surprise that I would prefer the EHX, but it was definitely a worthwhile step in upgrading the tube cohort in this particular amp. ## Features - Superior medium-mu twin triode driver tube for hifi use - 3.5 watts dissipation per plate - New design of excellent quality ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00IGZV9JW | | Best Sellers Rank | #111,589 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #571 in Guitar Amplifier Tubes | | Brand | Electro-Harmonix | | Brand Name | Electro-Harmonix | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 24 Reviews | | Item Dimensions | 1 x 4 x 1 inches | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 1 x 4 x 1 inches | | Manufacturer | Electro-Harmonix | | Model | 4308828672 | | Part Number | 12BH7 EH G - US | | UPC | 723175698857 841358101816 | ## Images ![Electro-Harmonix 12BH7 Gold Pin Pre-amp Vacuum Tube - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51VkiZ3Q86L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality 12BH7 tubes. *by C***R on March 19, 2015* I purchased a pair of these for a vintage Sansui amplifer that uses two 12BH7 tubes.

Replaced a JJ ECC82 in my Harman Kardon A-300 stereo amplifier in the phase inverter position. Hard to explain why I prefer the EHX except to say that it "evens-out" and "warms up" the overall SQ. I've always found JJ's too sterile (these came with the reconditioned amp), so no big surprise that I would prefer the EHX, but it was definitely a worthwhile step in upgrading the tube cohort in this particular amp. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Good sounding, not super reliable *by J***E on October 23, 2015* I'm using it in a Blackstar HT-5 Metal head, it honestly sounds incredible when it works. Hint, when it works. This tube opened up the top end quite a lot compared to the Ruby that was in it when I got it. It was almost like turning up a presence knob on this amp to my ears. Anyways though despite that this tube has been having some issues with heating up correctly and as such likes to pop and hiss randomly, despite that its an alright tube overall, I just hope that its a burn-in thing and that it'll get better over time. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/15317235-electro-harmonix-12bh7-gold-pin-pre-amp-vacuum-tube](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/15317235-electro-harmonix-12bh7-gold-pin-pre-amp-vacuum-tube) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
