The sound is fantastic my reliability experience has been great also. I would be misleading you to say that there have never been problems with the MTS line of stuff. That being said, what I have seen on this forum is that there are occassional problems (same as EVERY brand), but the help and...

When I first got my RM50 it came with an Ultra and a Recto (someone got the last Blackface the day before). I liked the Ultra more than the Recto for hi-gain so I turned everything way down and used the Recto for a clean. I even put some AU7's in it. Thomas

There is also the GCX from Voodoo Labs. Blending modules from the RM50 and RM4 can be done and depending on which modules you will either have tons of phasing or very little. I blend my Ultra and Recto and get massive phasing. I have to use an extra EQ for each module *just* to tame the...

Since I blend two modules for one tone, does that only count as one module? Clean : blackhface with a touch of delay, some rev and nice thick chorus mid/high gain : Plexi + pedal Stoopid gain : Ultra+Recto (blended) with the tiniest hint of chorus, a doubling delay and a pinch of rev. The...

If you want to play with more than two pre-amp modules, you can get an RM4, M4, or M2 (or whatever its called). They are rack mounted pre-amps for using Randall and Egnater modules. *ONLY* the M4 and M2 can use both channels of the Egnater modules. If you take that route, you will need some...

The Clean to me sounded a little too clean, almost an audiophile type clean. That's not to say that was bad at all, just not what I was looking for. The Blackface, on the other hand, sounds awesome. And as a bit of a shocker, the Recto sounded really sweet when I cleaned it up. I had to roll...

+1 to Soulinsane's tip regarding cut before boost. Usually what winds up happening is you boost something that squashes someone else, then they turn up. Then the band's live sound turns into a "shouting match" between instruments. As for your original post, I use a Presonus EQ-3B. It's a...

I'd definitely say the plexi. I clean boosted mine only with the output level on my EQ pedal and it can get pretty heavy. That was even with some cutting in certain freq's. So with that set-up I could go from clean to scream with a toe click a quick crank of my guitar's volume knob. I have...

You may be getting views (like mine) that are MTS people looking around at other stuff. I'd help you or at least make a suggestion or two, but I know almost nothing about the V2. Thomas

Killer samples man! I'm liking that KH3. I do have one slot left over in my RM4. Hhhhmmm... Thomas

Right now I'd say my fav is my Ultra, followed (very closely) by my Pete modded Recto. Actually I'm currently blending the two through a mixer and some heavy EQ'ing. They sound mucho wicked together. Well, except for the nasty phasing problems (thus the heavy EQ'ing). Thomas

Yeah, what he said! I have a PodX3 bean for when I travel. I've got some pretty good tones out of it and the dual signal chain gives it crazy flexibility. Like JF said, there is still a pretty big difference. The Line 6 stuff is good, but the Randall stuff is great. To me the Randall is...

Yeah, the one with Kirk in it is just him *attempting* to describe the amp. I couldn't find any where he is actually playing one. Thomas

Just do a search on Youtube for "Kirk Hammett Randall". One video is done by KH himself and the other is done by GuitarWorld. Thomas

j_t, I don't know much about the specifics of guitar amps, so maybe I'm way off, but why would it be such a big deal to interface an SS pre into valve power section? There are several companies that interface tube pre's with SS power sections. Is doing the reverse that much different? I...

As far as brick an mortar stores, try Fry's. I think they have a limited selection, for online, try Digikey. Or even just a generic "electronic components supplier" Google search. Also, keep in mind that there are several different types of caps each with its own set of properties. Some...

A few that always get mentioned in this kind of thread: 1. solid state Dime module 2. Cornford 3. Mk II c+ 4. Uberschall 5. Fireball 6. 5150 Thomas

My fav's are the Ultra, Recto/Treadplate (Pete modded orange channel), and Blackface. I also have a Pete modded SL+ that rocks the hi-gain Marshall tone something fierce. I push that one a little with a pedal when I want to go all Zakk. About the only modules I've ever heard anyone say...

I think the Kill Dry and EQ were both part of a firmware update. That's why the EQ is under the gate section and doesn't have its own on/off button. Thomas

There is also something to think about with the 'Kill Dry' setting, only the more recent models have it. You can accomplish the same thing by setting each effect to 100% wet. I don't remember exactly when the newer models with Kill Dry feature hit the market, but I think it's only been about...
