Name this preamp tube.

[Ice Man]

I have a ECC83 preamp tube that came out of a Matchless preamp pedal. It has "Yugoslavia" written on it and a big "EI" inside a circle on the front.
Anyone know what type/brand this is?
Thanks.

BTW, for those of you too lazy to follow the link: ECC83 is the Eurpoean designation for a 12AX7. Same tube (at least to the degree that any two tubes are the same.)

I think Matchless uses nothing but JJ tubes, so it's either an older pedal, or someone changed the tube to an EI.

If I were you, I'd install a JJ ECC803S, the newest awesome tube from JJ.
