Well just wanted to post about it for the ones who may be interested in MTS stuff and who doesn't dare to make the move !
I traded my CAE 3+se preamp for a RM4, I use a Mesa 2:90 as poweramp and MM Luke guitar.
my modules are Blackface, top boost, Recto, GRAIL, SL+ and xtc.
I admit that it really kicks *** !
the blackface is THE clean to have, very sparky, great for country stuffs...
I really do like the SL+, it's a really marshall tone, I use it as a crunch module with gain at 2-3... really reactive with the guitar vol pot, with neck pickup you're ready to get the BLUES !
the XTC is quite cool for high gain solos but it's amazing at low gain too for clean/crunch tones !!!
I've A/B tested GRAIL and RECTO... hard to make a real difference, the grail seemed to have more bite... but Recto tubes may be a bit tired...
VOILA !
my 2 cents
