NOS Yellow Jacket from MOD Kits DIY

The new Yellow Jackets® NOS (New Old Stock) Tube Converter is a limited

edition converter made for use in most amplifiers under 100 watts and using 6L6,

EL34, 7027 or 6V6 output tubes. The converter lowers the overall power in your

amplifier and gives your amp a unique vintage tone.

This NOS Yellow Jacket® is designed with an NOS 6AQ5 seven-pin miniature

beam power tube, which is included with the converter. The 6AQ5 was used in

many vintage practice guitar amps in the 1950’s as well as many film projectors

in the past. This tube is popular with DIY amp builders who often convert old film

projectors into guitar amps. While electronically equivalent to the 6V6 with a

slightly lower power rating, the 6AQ5 has its own unique vintage tone that sets it

apart from its eight-pin big brother. As with all Yellow Jackets®, the 6AQ5 Yellow

Jacket converter will operate in a Class-A self-adjusting cathode-bias circuit.
