you're right, something I bought 100% on your advice my friendDean Aka Nekro wrote:John you forgotHink wrote:
another shot with all my mess, it's funny how much bigger it is than the egnater and the of course the Frenzel is sitting on top of the jet city for now...I got some organizing to do
BTW the yellow jackets do fit, they make the tubes much taller so that was a concern (they do sell shorty YJs). At this point the YJs I have now are going to stay in the egnater. I did try them, I do like them but the jet city is class AB fixed bias so it will take the other type of YJs which work with fixed or cathode bias amps (the egnater is cathode bias) so I am getting a set of YJs for fixed bias and will switch them between the boogie and jet city. The good thing is the cathode biased ones have a ground wire that needs to be connected to the tube socket mounting screws and the fixed bias ones do not need the ground wire so switching between the boogie and jet city will be a breeze.
As far as how the amp sounds (the jet city), it's pretty bright but I still have more playing around to do. The OD channel is pretty cool but the normal channel with my TS clone is very cool too, but it seems better suited to hi-gain which I have no problem with.
I suspect it wont be long before I swap out the generic tubes in it with JJsto mention the greatest piece in that whole picture and most likely one of the least bits price wise - The humble little innocent white Boss NS-2 aka the STFU box that works so damned well and does so without cutting into one's wanted signal (which is why i probably love them so much). I have said before but i'll say it again for high-gain stuff there is no way i would play without one where an OD/Boost and valve-amp are concerned
