Default what do u think of these tubes?

are they any good for guitar amps?

National 12AX7 (Japan)
National 12AX7 (Yugoslavia) - store claims it to be NOS

Toshiba EL84 (Japan)

How do these tubes compare to other brands?

I noticed that the most popular tubes for my type of guitar amp (vox ac30 clone) are Electro-Harmonix 12ax7 and JJ/Tesla EL84's.

Currently, im using Ruby 12ax7's and Sovtek EL84's

Be careful with a matched set of mullard el34's. There are new production tubes that carry that moniker: http://www.tubedepot.com/mu-el34.html

Japanese tubes are very well rated, and seem to be almost as good as the British and American ones. They will probably be fine at normal ratings, although I wouldn't run any tube beyond it's ratings.

Yugo ones might be a bit more of a lucky dip...
