GET A NEW AMP OUT OF YOUR EXISTING ONE !!
Yellow Jackets® converters are a type of specialized adapter which
permit the use of EL84/6BQ5 power tubes in place of 6V6, 6L6, EL34, and
7591 type vacuum tubes.
Yellow Jackets® converters allow you to
harness the musicality of EL84 vacuum tubes in amps that don't use them
already - it's like getting a whole new amplifier! In place of a 6V6 a
Yellow Jackets® converter will even out the tone and make it sound
stronger. In larger amps that use two 6L6, 6550, 7027 or EL34 power
tubes the Yellow Jackets® converter will drop the output power to about
15 to 20 watts, giving it more of a vintage VOX AC30 sound. In amps that
take four power tubes the Yellow Jackets® converter will sweeten the
tone and make it more dynamic. There is no re-biasing involved, which
makes modifying your amp's tone very easy.
Yellow Jackets®
converters give you simple Class-A operation from any amp. They not only
rearrange the pin locations of the tubes, but also provide the
necessary plate voltage drop and current limiting on the screens as well
as blocking the amplifier's grid bias voltage while configuring the
EL84 in a Class-A, self-adjusting cathode-bias circuit. In other words,
there are no adjustments to make and no modifications necessary, you
simply plug the Yellow Jackets® into the amp's output tube sockets.
(There are other Yellow Jacket configurations available for less common valves, please inquire with our technical department).
Brilliant in the studio, outstanding on stage when miked up.

You will need 160mm of clear space above each tube socket in order to fit the Yellow Jacket converters ... please check before ordering.
