[QUOTE="JKD, post: 152988, member: 879"] Definitely a rat-hole....just for basic FX I can remember changing all my stuff around to match the +4dB loop of the RM stuff....never really had another issue with it, it;'s tube/driven and nice sounding....but one heck of a hot signal. Not to mention you get the choice of serial/parallel or both. This is from owning 4 or 5 RM100s of all vintages, 3 RM50s..countless RM4s and M4s.... FWIW I *hated* the sound of my first RM100.....the presence and density controls practically useless and the am overall so boomy / not tight. Just trying to share useful stuff, I'm a ****** hack player but lots of time on these amps. For a basic tone improvement: 1. you should definitely try jumping the parallel loop 2. suggest an MDA board 3. if you are getting fancy, look at changing the input cap/resistance..I lowered the coupling cap on mine/since prefer tighter tone and you can alter value of resistance in there to change the input gain a little.... 4. Tube changes...after many years/swaps..I settled on 6550s for the RM100s and KT-88 for the RM50 [/QUOTE]
