[QUOTE="Zaphod, post: 139667, member: 3440"] The tones are very cool. It records well and gigs well on either channel. The EL84s in the Yellow Jacket triode converters break up pretty early and it's really easy to dial in whatever amount of power section saturation you want. At the point of dialing in a good gritty sound, increasing the volume level on that channel doesn't produce much more actual volume but increasing levels of saturation. That side pretty much peaks out at "just loud enough." The 6V6 side is cleaner at equivalent volume levels and would be my go-to for crystalline clear tones at moderate levels. But push that side up and it will break up, too, but at a higher volume than the Yellow Jacket side. I think a big advantage is that with the lower power tubes I get more of a range of volume control. With the high-power tubes it was very difficult to set a volume level as the volume knob was almost on-off at usable levels. And getting power section saturation was going to get me put in jail.
