Thanks guys. I think the bias for my jj6l6gc's are at about 33mv. Is that too low then? Also thinking about getting some different tubes. What are 6550 tubes like and how do the 6l6's differ to the 6l6gc?
Im not sure what is wrong with my Rm100 head. I'm not getting the sound i'm after. It kinda sounds like its under a blanket or something. Theres no punchy low end and theres no crunchy top end and note definition. Sounds ok within like the first 20 min but after that it starts to loose clarity...
Also what speakers and cab have you got? that will affect the tone alot. I used to think that my rm100 was missing something too when i was playing it through marshall cabs. Now when i play it through my randall cab with v30s it sounds like it should. Full with better low end! Like these guys...
Thats awesome. I didn't believe at first but i checked out their studio vid and gary holt says he really digs the Engl Savage 120.

Btw, anyone know what the sound diference between the savage 120 and the powerball?
I think i'm definitely gona get this mod. The other guitarist in my band has just bought and Engl Powerball and it sounds excatly like the tone i want! Can this mod get close to a powerball tone? Can an XTC be modded into this?
Many thanks Shinozoku. Thats helped alot. I think i'm gona have to get me a 5751 tube by the sounds of it. Seems to do wonders! Oh and btw thanks for replying to my other thread. Your a great help dude!
Hey. Can someone explain the V Positions for pre-amp tubes in the rm100. I know that for the power tubes v1 to v4 is basicaly left to right when looking at it from the back. Also where is the Phase inverter? Thanks.
Yeh I see what your saying. I know a Mesa Rectofier was used on that too. I was just after the peavey xxx sound. Heres gary just playing his Peavy rig:

Doesn't matter if there isn't a mod out there that can sound like it. I was...
Hey guys. I love the guitar tone on the Atrocity Exhibition album and was wondering what module would get me a similar tone. I know Gary holt uses a Peavey XXX with a front end boost from a homebrew pedal. Any ideas? Heres a clip of Funeral hymn:

Hey guys. I'm just wondering what mod would get a simalar Lead tone to Gus G's from firewind? Could a modded xtc get close or not? Heres some clips of songs for reference:

Hi all. I'm looking for a module that would get me a tone close to testaments Formation of damnation album rythm sound. Any suggestions? Would one of petes modded recto mods come close? Check out their myspace page songs to get an idea of their tone:

Thanks
Cheers. I've herd nothing but good things about Bodenhamer-electronics.com. The bloody murder is a popular choice it seems for boosting mesa's. I've seen they do a modded maxon od808 pedal. Would you still recommend the bloody murder over the modded 808?
I'm tied up between these 2 mods. I'm after a Strapping young lad/Devin townsend mesa tone and a testament (Gathering) tone. I've herd great things about these mods. I've already got a Ultra XL for leads so it will be for rhythm. I'm edging towards a Grail and front end boosting it to give it...
