All modules except 6550 sold. JF 6550 and the RM100 head are still available

D-zilla sold

Thanks JKD! Yeah, it really hurts to let go of something which you've put this amount of love into haha :D But yes, IMO the amp sounded fuller and more balanced afterwards, so I'd do it again in a heartbeat. General info: The amp is now up in the Classified section (along with some modules)

For Sale: RM100 head in excellent condition (Mercury mag. output trans, Genalex kt88's, new capacitors). It's pains me, but I'm in the position where I have to sell off my MTS stuff to buy a piece of equipment I've been longing for. Will ship anywhere (contact me for shipping quotes). RM100...

Capacitor Change RM100 A thread about a complete capacitor change in the RM100 head. I want to start this with a disclaimer, I'm neither a guitar amp tech or a man with thousands of hours of building amps or likewise. The reasoning behind changing capacitors in the RM100 stem from an honest...

Wtf... ? Have you made your own module, or what is this alluding to?

As the title says, I have a Salvation Chupacabra up for trade. It's a high gain module designed by Antonin, which according to him has flavors of: "Bogner®, Splawn®, Groove Tubes®, Mesa/Boogie® and own design!" It's a high-gain module which has some good mid-gain structures aswell. It covers a...

I have done the exact same thing with another of my amps, a 71 Fender twin reverb, where I changed to NOS tubes over JJ's. The difference there was greater (I felt that it was much more musical and 3d sounding), but I did not record the differences so it very well might be imagined. The brain...

Tnjazz; Yeah, I think the tone (high-gain) in some way masks the characteristics of the tube, also I think that for one to hear the full flavor of each tube it would require more changes than 'just' the V1, even though it is considered the tube with most impact. Rob (Jaded Faith) suggests that...

Hi Galao! I actually saw that one (great comparison aswell!), I agree that the changes between the RM4 and the SYN-2 was very negligible aswell. I agree that the 7025 and the LPS was slightly different, and both were among my favorites (ended up with the LPS). I've been thinking of making a...

Hi Matt! Thanks a lot!! Yeah, I wholeheartedly agree, VERY subtle differences!! I had expected a more significant change, which might be achieved by changing more tubes than just the V1. Apparently the general thinking (just reiterating here, so don't take my word for it hehe) is that in a tube...

Hi fellow MTS'ers! Recently I undertook a tubetest (6 different tubes) for my V1 position in my rm100 to see how it reacted. As I am a recording engineer I naturally recorded the test to see what the differences were (also to eliminate ANY bias I had towards one tube or another). The test was...

Pm Sent :)

Alright! Back at it again! I've just tried (pr Matt's suggestion) running an EQ in the series loop (had to dust off an old TC G major unit to find something that runs line lvl). And lo' and behold, there was the low end. I found that with a 3-4 db boost, relatively small Q, set somewhere along...

JKD! Exactly!! It's exactly stuff like that which can drive you crazy (trying to find low range, which maybe isn't needed anyway haha). During the last recording I checked the response of the RM100 vs an earlier recorded Dual rec with a PAZ analyser (same cab), which seemed to suggest that a...
