Does the TOPBOOST module sound good with EL84 yellowjackets?

[skunky_funk]

I don't know but aren't topboost modules supposed to emulate AC30s? But how can you get that effect with EL34/6L6 power tubes? While Blue Bulldogs seem nice, I think you should get two 4x12's because each is 15W rated.

But then, do yellowjackets also decrease the power output?

I didn't like the THD Yellowjackets in de MOD50 and MOD100.
Suggestion: 6V6 or EL34 with early breakup.

I like em, I've run my RT2/50 with EL84s and yellowjackets in one side just for that reason. If you just need one channel, check out the RM20 series...

I absolutely love the sound of the THD Yellowjacket Triodes. These are EL84 adapters that run at half-power, with the power grid smoothed out (like an EL34 amp with a Triode switch). It sounds far better than the normal Yellowjackets?less harsh, more natural, but still the chime and low end response. I cannot recommend them enough?they are permenently in my MOD50.

And yes, I have the VX module (and when I had the RM100, I had the TopBoost), and they sound great.

Aw crap, they have more than one type of YJ? I knew there was a shorter version, didn't know about the 1/2 power ones. ******.
