My Jmp-1's I run through a Lexicon 284. It is a rackmount stereo EL84 poweramp. I also have 2 ADA MP1's modified by that clown at the ADA depot. They have plenty of gain and a tone of noise. I was going to sell them but feel embarrased to pass them on. What a mistake that was.

Don't get fooled into these wav files these guys post of their products. I would watch a few youtube videos done by regular guys of these products.

I think I am going to do one to show how noisey these ADA's are. Of course after I do they won't be worth much anymore. Unless I send them to Voodoo. Which I probably will have to to recover some of my loss.

I also have 2 5150 III halft stacks. They sound great and are very quiet. Even with the gain maxed on each channel. These are some of the quietest amps I have tried without a noise gate. I sometimes wonder if they built a noise gate into the head.

I was thinking about getting a Carvin TS100 for power but I don't need 100 watts. The thing I probably should do for tube experimenting is get 2 THD univalves. That way I could still be in stereo and be low wattage and swap tubes all at the same time.

What do you guys think of the yellow jackets (el84 adapters). I thought of using these on my 5150 III's. I have read some negative things about them.
