[QUOTE="Jaymzrock, post: 113637, member: 2998"] Okay, while reading the thread that Bruce Almighty put up asking about what made a great module in the "Modules" section...someone noted that some tones sound great and are better suited for 6L6's, while others for EL34's. I know the RT-2/50 has both on either side, yadda yadda. As an RM100 guy, here's my theory. The power tubes on the RM100 have fuses that you can pull if you wanted to run 50W without having to pull tubes. So, with 6's in 1 and 4; and 34's in 2 and 3 couldn't you theoretically have those tube options even with the RM100? Sure, it wouldn't be "On the Fly" but for recording or a set-by-set basis couldn't you run your Fender/Peaveys through the 6L6's at 50W, and conversely your Marshallies through the EL34's simply by pulling the opposing breakers? And hell, even have a cool sounding blend of the two when running at the full 100W...? I tend to kinda talk in circles but this is a pretty valid theory, right? [/QUOTE]
