Well after the resurrection of my Peavey Ultra and my 2nd honeymoon with it, I reluctantly agreed to sell my rm100 to my other guitarist. After that it broke down, got it back from the tech and less than 6 weeks later it went down again. Arcing issue I imagine. Hopefully I'll get a reasonable rate due to the amp techs misdiagnosis. He said it was because one of the headshell mounting nuts was loose in the chassis and shorted it. This was wrong because those didn't come loose till I removed it from the shell after it blew up to check the internal fuses.
Took my money from selling it to bandmate and bought an Egnator Vengeance (meh, but best clean channel ever) because I wanted the similar easy access to bias power section. Traded the Vengeance for a JCM 900 SL-X (trade of the century, I know). I traded my GFS tele I built for an Agile 8 string. The aforementioned guitarist wanted it and agreed to trade me the broken Randall for it. Another deal of the century considering the Agile was listed for $275 and my guitarist paid $650 for the rm100. So here I am now with an Ultra 120, SL-X, B52 AT100 (that I just resurrected from sitting in my bass players garage 6 years broken), and this boat anchor rm100 that will hopefully come to life again.
Its really gonna be my endgame for tube amps. The Blackface can stay stock. The SL+ is fantastic but might get the cap mod. And the KH-3 will be modded into something soon. I just gotta get it to cop the tone of my Ultra's crunch channel or a 5150II or ENGL to suit my djenty needs.
