I've not messed with the JMP-1's. ADA's and boogie pre amps yes but not those but now I'm confused because you did after all broach the subject of the yellow jackets in the EVH III's which was what I was really wondering about and now you say the JMP's are actually really EL-84 amps and no question you know far more about those than me but if that's the case why even consider YJ's in the EVH III's?

To each his own but me personally, installing EL84's and YJ's in that great head would never have crossed my simple mind.
