Q: i have a laney cub 12r, i need to do an electronic job on it to install those tubes? i mean like a bias or something

It depends on if your amp is self biasing or not.

Q: How early or late does the distortion come in, can it be set fairly loud without distortion? What amplifier do you use them on< Thanks, GT

I have an Orange Tiny Terror that I have been re-tubing to get as much clean room as possible. I have gone much further on both the VOL & GAIN knobs & still get clean response. With the original tubes that came with my amp, I couldn't go beyond 9 or 10 o'clock on the GAIN knob before the distortion was so massive it became difficult to even hear the pitch. Now, I can easily have both VOL & GAIN around noon with only a touch of hair, which I want because I get all the overdrive coming off my pedalboard. Just don't forget that the pre-amp tubes will make a difference as well. I am using low gain pre-amp tubes & I'm getting much more room to play with before I get anywhere near distortion. I've had the GAIN set around noon & the VOL around 2 o'clock ( outdoors of course ) & still get fairly clean response from my amp. Hope this helps ! BTW, what amp are you using as that would help get the answer for specifically your amp.

Q: How would you guys describe the sound? i'm thinking of putting them in my blues junior? my bj has jj i feel that the sound is to distorted

Before spending the cash on the Mullard EL84 tubes I have to ask do you know the distortion # of your JJs? I have some Groove Tubes EL84 S tubes which I have been told are VERY similar to JJ EL84 tubes and they have a Medium or Normal Distortion. The sound in my set up is so clear and warm. Nothing tinny sounding or dull like I had experienced with some generic EL84 tubes from China.Here are some definitions I found about distortion with the power tubes.Early Distortion (Groove Tubes - # 1-3) is best for a softer attack, and those who play a lot of rock and blues solos. Average Distortion (Groove Tubes - # 4-7) is great for your normal all around tone - for those who want some versatility in their sound. Late Distortion (Groove Tubes - # 8-10) is chosen for those who want their sound dynamic and clean - especially Jazz and Bass players..
