Hi,
My name is Steve Clark. I've been playing for about 20 years off and on and am currently not in a band. I've been using a DSL100 for about the last 4 years. I just bought an RM100 with the Blackface,Plexi and XTC modules. I am using it with a Legacy 4x12 bottom with the V30's. I'm loving it bigtime, especially the BF and XTC modules. But I might have a problem with the Plexi one though. I usually have the master cranked and the levels on about 3 or so. When I switch between the BF and XTC, the volume is pretty much even. When I switch to the Plexi, there is a big volume drop and I usually have to bring the level up to about 5 to match the other two. Is this normal with the Plexi module? I checked the tubes and they all seem seated, I do need to get a multimeter as I want to switch the power tubes to some JJ EL34's.
But really my question is, is it normal for the volume on the Plexi to be lower than the other two? Also, what tubes does everyone recommend for preamps? I was going to order JJ 12AX7's when I order the power tubes. I guess these will be fine?
Thanks! I also hope to be adding some to this forum in the future too not just asking a bunch of newbie questions.
