Most of the world's guitar amp tubes come from Russia 

Better stock up quick as prices are going up, inventory running low.

China is big ally to Russia hope they don't follow them

Slovakia is next to Ukraine,  the other tube producing location. 

 

Yikes, we all don't want to run Kemper's or Fractals

This makes it a great time to go digital. Don't have tubes in TVs today, progress baby, progress.

Thank you for the mention, Doug. Jan Jurčo is Slovak and started JJ about 30 years ago. JJ tubes have always been and are still made here in Slovakia. My Mesa Boogie runs happily on JJ tubes.

hope you can stay safe there Fret.. Putin will probably try get back all the land that was once grabbed up by USSR.

looks like JJ is the last one left (unless there is another Chinese plant) that we'll have access to.

unless the USA/Canadian governments allows tubes out of Russia.. even if there is sanctions against them

“The big Shuguang factory in China was forced to move… and the Jamona (JJ Electronic) factory in Slovakia that used to have lead times of one month, now has lead times of six months."

some say that the Shuguang factory is closed.. they did provide 80% of the worlds tubes till 2019

Now Electro-Harmonics is claiming to have solved their Russian Tube import but paying the 35% tariff and will pass that along to the consumer
