    Padded covers for RM50 heads?

    Tuki covers are great. I have one for my Egnater TOL50 and it has worked like a charm.

    Boss DD-20 delay in the loop?

    I run my DD-20 at +4 with both my amps in the series FX loops, works great. If it wasn't for the Boss Tremolo and Tuner pedals, I'd try the parallel idea form MarcoR.

    Musicians Friend/Music123 blowing out MTS cabinets

    Looks like for the 2x12s all they have left are the more expensive NXTs and a refurb silver cloth for $559. I jumped on the deal the week before last, got myself a nice 2x12. I was leaning toward an Avatar, but this was $349 shipped, $17 more than an Avatar, with convertible back, mono-stereo...

    RM80 Boost Function

    The PDF posted was extremely helpful, as have several of the threads talking more about the MVB. My RM50 has always been a little kooky with the Master Volume Boost. Occasionally while playing, with nothing plugged into the MVB jack, the amp would suddenly go to max volume and scare the living...

    Output volume inconsistent problem, unexpected spikes

    I tried this out a couple days ago, it sounds quite a bit different and I didn't care for it. Anybody have any other suggestions? Anybody else have this problem?

    Output volume inconsistent problem, unexpected spikes

    That's not a bad idea. I haven't really tried that. I would prefer to have a master volume, though.

    Output volume inconsistent problem, unexpected spikes

    I have a RM50 combo, silver grill cloth, no reverb. The problem I'm having is after the amp has warmed up, the volume sometimes spikes up at random to a higher volume. When it first happened I thought it might just be the output tubes going bad and replaced them with some brand new ones. The...

    Anybody out there ordered a Randall amp cover?

    So these are available now? They still say "available October 2006" which I know is now, but usually if things are available now they don't have some special availability message. Heh, what a sentence that was. I need a beer.

    bummer brah.

    That's definitely a bummer... if you liked the tone you got with 50 watts, have you thought about either pulling the outer tubes, or maybe running 6v6 tubes instead?

    Egnater MOD50 rig

    With an infinite amount of cash, I would probably have a similar rig. That's really nice. Gives me a new goal I guess. I really like the oversized 1x12 cabs. Just curious, you only have one amp channel switcher for both amps. How does that work?

    Noisy top boost module...

    Cool! Thanks for the link. I'll definitely give that a shot if the 12AU7s or 12AT7s don't do it for me.

    Noisy top boost module...

    Scott, you're not only a fair and honest person to do business with, you're also a genius. Swapped out for a different 12AX7EH, and I'm in business - three of four taken care of. No gain pot noise, noise overall noise, no shrilly highs. The module still has a suprising amount of gain available...

    Noisy top boost module...

    I'm 99% convinced this thing is defective but thought I'd check here just to be sure because I have no point of reference for Top Boost modules. I ordered it new from Music 123 and it arrived yesterday. - The gain knob is pretty noisy, makes a muffled scratchy sound when adjusting it. - The...

    The Elements of Great Guitar Tone

    Wow! What a list. Makes my head spin. You say "guitar" but that's pretty broad. As long as you mention Vol/tone pots, why not: set neck or bolt on or neck through, woods (neck, body and fretboard), frets, bridge, saddles, nut. Preamp and power amp should also include what tubes you're using...

    Whistling amp

    Seconded, er.. thirded? I have heard this before with another amp, replace the preamp tubes and it'll go away.

    Oh yeah, I only answered the first part of the question and totally missed the part about the other 16 ohm speaker cab.

    12 ohm marshall 212 cab w/ kendricks blackframes

    I've measured supposedly 8 ohm speakers with a multimeter before and gotten less than 8 ohms, it might have also been around 6 ohms now that I think about it. The explanation I was given is that the speakers have different resistances at different frequencies and that 8 ohms was an average. So...
