I'm crossposting this to the mp3 folder too, but thought some of you guys (especially Chris) might want to hear this.
First clip is with YellowJackets, second was with Ruby 6L6s. I left EVERYTHING the same - same amp settings, guitar, mic position, etc. Well, that's not entirely correct - I did boost the gain a little on my mics so I had a good level into my PC crapass soundcard, and I also may have used a different waves reverb. But the basics were the same.
I can dial in more treble like the YJ clip with the 6L6s, but one thing I like about the YJs is that they compress a little more. Listen to the picked descending riff after the tapped part - it splatters all over the place on the 6L6 clip, but sounds a lot better on the YJ.
One thing that sucks though - the damned YJs do NOT fit in the headshell, I had to pull it out part way. I'm hoping they make a lower profile YJ, or I may have to look at the GT offerings depending on how tall they are.
Forgot to mention - since my amp is a clone, the 'real soldano' may have enough room. Be sure and measure your amp before you buy a pair, it would make for a sucky surprise if they didn't fit!
