I got a Bogner Alchemist and was thinking of a moore distinkt tone from it like moore like plexi and Bogner 101 b red channel.
I know mine ARE low-budget compare to thoose monsters but can this adapter make it in the right direction? and use 84 EL instead of 6L6 power tubes?

You want a more distinct tone?

Hmm, think you might need to define what you're after a little better. EL84's will generally have a lot less punch, and breakup far more than any 6L6, which is a smooth, bold sounding tube. I suspect you'll be moving in the opposite direction to where you want to be altogether.
So I like purple, okay!!!!!!

I ran some in a JTM45 a while ago.
Less headroom less punch less volume.
Sounded pretty good but lost some of the dynamics (bit like running heavily attenuated) of that amp.
Helpful if you want to rock at more rehearsal friendly volumes tho'
