    Toroidal transformers?

    it can be done, but no one seems to want to make money doing this mod. I'm not sure the specs on the PT, i just bought an lighter amp.

    Will there be new and improved modular amps?

    That's a great idea a tube head that's just a power amp with a 2u rack space. You could market it to eleven rack, axe fx, and mts rack preamp owners. It would have to be lighter than the rm100, have a quasi SE option, something i'd like to see a punchy/deep switch that changed between to...

    so why a 5751 in the PI not a 12au7 or 12at7?

    Some amps let you mute the signal to one side of the push pull giving a quozi SE power section. Your 12DW7 probably somewhat doing this, and in my opinion i love SE amps.

    rm100 squeals

    a thought though i don't know if it's has any real merit. if it's drop c only than maybe something is resonating in the guitar with out enough string tension. what gauge strings do you use, have you tried a thicker strings gauge for lower tunings?

    RM100 way better than Mark V.

    The presence & density knob are a god send, without hanging channel settings i can quickly tune for the room. Once I start my new job I plan on buying the mark modules and will make some pro quality comparison videos. After some help on the boogie board I was able to tune in my mark v exactly...

    RM100 way better than Mark V.

    I notice a big difference with my Randall and different tubes combinations. Something about the mts stuff even with hi gain modules I retains a certain level of clarity.

    RM100 way better than Mark V.

    I've been tone chasing and my conclusion, nothing sounds as good as my RM100 even with stock modules. I realized after i bought the mark the tone clips i liked the best were actually modded modules. Not only that i can get close to a mark tone with my stock treadplate and a graphic eq. I'm just...

    Will there be new and improved modular amps?

    4 modules, just a series loop, toriodal pt transformed for lighter weight, 2 channel modules. I guess we could go with an M4 and if Bruce designed a rack power amp.

    XXX Module

    roszatycki so in your module does it act like it's clipping or work as a noise gate?

    DIY attenuator..

    http://www.diyaudioandvideo.com/Calculator/LPad/ this is an Lpad calculator that will tell you the actual wattage resistors you need. it also shows the basic schematic, with the pic of my attenuator to use as a layout.

    Weight reduction rm100

    When your friend who works construction for a living and has muscles yelps when he picks it up, what chance do wimpy guitarist have :D. 90% of the reason i bought the mark V, even though i've concluded the rm100 sounds better in many areas.

    Fender Modules

    My tweed is like that, i have to turn up the channel volume up a lot more on it. The tweed is my other favorite stock module. Oddly my blackface is not like that, lots of output. It might be that i have active EMG that allow me to overdrive it. It doesn't overdrive much, and with a tube screamer...

    Fender Modules

    Today i discovered the blackface is my favorite module i have never bothered to turn the gain almost all the way up. All this fancy stuff and a blackface is what i was looking for. For a metal tone i would just want the blackface with higher gain.

    keep rm100 or sell or trade for rm4/m4

    I bought a mark v and have decided i can't live without the tones of my mts modules and their stockers. I'm on the fence about switching from my rm100 to an mr/rm4. I have a vintage tube power amp that was PA amp for a golf course, i could really easily fix up, and i wouldn't have to worry about...

    A power tube theory...verification please?

    You have to rebias when you disconnect two of the tubes. Bias voltage is affected when you turn off or take out two power tubes. I usually run two el34 and 2 6l6's. very warm full tone.

    Rectified or MarkX

    Do the tone controls effect the tone much or do they have a subtle effect? I actually think I like the mts clips of the mark x Vs the real amp.

    JF ERECT settings

    I've found with an emg 81 i have to crank the mids a lot more than with even the emg h4, and start with the bass and gain at noon or less.
