[QUOTE="Orren, post: 847, member: 43"] Hi Stratoblaster, I am a [i]huge[/i] fan of the Yellowjackets! You're right, it does change the tone, but how much it changes the tone depends a lot on the amp. In a non-master volume amp in which much of the distortion is from the power tubes, changing to EL84s will make a very large difference. In a master volume amp, in the tone is mostly from the preamp, and the power amp mostly warms up and opens up the sound, the change will be minimal. With the RM100, the power amp section is designed to be pretty neutral, so that the tone of the preamps shine through. As such, I didn't feel that using the Yellowjackets actually changed the sound too much. I think there might have been a bit less bass, maybe a bit more edge, but it wasn't something that you couldn't tweak the EQ to change if you didn't like. Hope that helps, Orren [/QUOTE]
