The 5Y3 has the most sag, and drops the most voltage.
It will give the amp more compresssion, a sweeter, smoother tone, and easier breakup - a more musical sound.
Suggested for low powered amps. Single ended (1 power tube) or two small tubes such as 2 x EL84 or 2 x 6V6. Good for amps up to 20 watts.
Be sure to check your amp prior to ordering. You will need to find a location to place an 8 tube socket and another small transformer.
To install the kit you will have to be able to get to the power transformer's primary and secondary wires, and find the existing solid state rectifier so you can disconnect it.
It is best to check the amp list before ordering. We will continue to update the list as we inspect more amps.
This kit can be used to install a rectifier tube in an amp without a center tapped power transformer!
