Hi All
Just bought a used MOD50 from a friend of mine - theese amps are IMPOSSIBLE to get here in Denmark - I am VERY happy with it, but i think it needs new tubes - I can't get a clean sound out of it - Slot 1 is a SL2 module and Slot 2 is EG3/4. I use channel one on the SL module for cleans.
It sounds like it is the power amp tubes that needs replacing - the sound is "dead" and bass is "flat" and I get a break up that is not very musicla but it seems to compress and flatten my sound when I hit the strings hard.
I LOVE the sound of EL34s - and could replace the current tubes with GTE34LS but I could also experiment and try the KT88's - Has anyone in here any experience with this ?
