If you have a Marshall tube amp it’s well worth looking after. We recommend you replace the tubes on your amplifier regularly to ensure optimum tone.
We sell both Marshall branded valves (or to be correct I should say re-branded valves) and the superb JJ valves as well.
Old amplifiers in good condition can be worth quite a lot of money these days. Your trusty amp may one day end up worth more than you paid for it.
Your tubes will have a life of around 500 to 1,000 hours of playing time before the sound quality starts to slowly deteriorate. This is very much an average. Some will last a lot less and some a lot longer.
Over time they gradually lose their tone and you don’t notice until you replace them and your amp suddenly sounds amazing again. So replace them on a regular basis if you want to keep the amp sounding as sweet as the day you first bought it.
If you are a gigging musician make sure you have at least one spare ECC83 preamp valve in your kit bag for both emergencies and for testing when there is a suspect tube problem.

If you can't find your Marshall amplifier listed or the specific valves you are seeking, just drop us an email from our contact page. Remember, even the best amplifier in the world will sound poor if the valves aren't replaced regularly.
