THD YJSHORTD Yellow Jacket Short Duet w/Tubes
Converts your amp to Class A EL84 operation.
An adapter that permits the use of an EL84 power tube in place of a 6L6, EL34, or 6550 in grid-bias amps. There are no adjustments to make and no modifications are necessary. You simply plug the Yellow Jacket into the amp's output tube sockets, plug the provided EL84s into the Yellow Jacket, turn on the amp, and play.
Yellow Jacket converters not only rearrange the pin locations of the tubes, but they also provide the necessary current limiting on the screens and cathode as well as blocking the amplifier's grid-bias voltage, configuring the EL84 in a Class-A, self-adjusting cathode-bias circuit.
When the Yellow Jacket Converters are installed in larger amplifiers intended for 6L6s or EL34 output tubes, the high plate and screen voltages are reduced and current is limited to protect the EL84 and drop output power. When a pair of Yellow Jackets are used in a Marshall 50W or similar amplifier, the overall power drops to about 20W and takes on more of the character of an old Vox AC30. The distortion is smoother and more even and the output is both substantially reduced and more compressed due to the Class-A nature of the Yellow Jacket. In a 100W amp like a Twin Reverb or Marshall 100, either two or four Yellow Jackets can be used. If only two are used and the other two sockets are left empty, the output is dropped to about 20 watts. With four in place, the amp puts out about 40W and takes on a whole new warmth and richness.
Will they hurt your amp? No! Yellow Jacket converters are safe for all amplifiers and transformers. Because all Yellow Jacket Converters limit voltage and current internally, they put no extra strain on amplifiers' power and output transformers or internal components. Using the Yellow Jacket in higher-powered amplifiers actually reduces the strain on the transformers and internal components because it reduces the overall wattage of the system. Furthermore, the heater (or filament) current of the EL84 is lower than that of the 6L6, EL34, or 7591, so the Yellow Jacket will reduce the strain on the filament windings of the power transformer as well.
THD YJSHORTD Yellow Jacket Short Standard Duet Features:
* Use an EL84 in place of a 6L6, EL34, or 6550 in grid-bias amps
* Tubes included
Ashdown Dual Compressor
"Designed specifically for bass! Ashdown's series of cool looking and great sounding pedals includes the “Dual Compressor”. Ashdown’s Dual Band Compressor splits the signal into high and low frequency bands and applies compression separately to both. Slap and pop all you want, and leave the bottom end uncompressed, or compress the $#%& out of your low end, and keep all of your attack intact! It’s your choice!"
