Much quieter (volume drop) than other TAD preamp tubes. Low gain; definitely not for anything that requires more gain than Beatles.
Good for cleans.

Warmer than EHX
Edgar Blackdagger 08.04.2021
I bought this to replace my Blackstar HT-1R Metal's power section,
it originally had an EHX ECC82EH but I noticed that turning the volume from 9 to 10 had a huge sound difference, at 10 there was a ton of extra saturation, with spongy low and fizzy top end which was extremely annoying coming out of my beloved creamback neo.
After replacing it with this one, the sound got natural , the signal a bit louder, fuller and without the annoying almost white-noisy top end.
Now that little marvel of an amp sounds fantastic in any of my cabs!
I'm looking forward to experimenting with more tubes, but having this tube as a good, solid reference.

Great pre-amp tube

I got this one for the pre-amp section of my Ampeg bass amp and it just works fine, nothing to complain about.

Perfect replacement!
JollyRoger 22.02.2014
I replaced the original powertube of my Blackstar HT1RH with the TAD RT005 and I was surprised by the result!
The amp sounds bigger at bedroomlevel.

It has warm and bright sound and very low noise.

I recommend this tube to all HT1 users, to get an warm, bright and creamy sound!
