In addition to my RM100, I have a couple other high-gain, high-wattage heads: a Mesa Mark III purple stripe and a Rivera M100. I've done a lot of A/Bing with many different modules, and every time I compare my RM100 to either amp, I'm left with the feeling that something is off about the RM100. The RM100 seems less robust in the midrange than either of my other heads, and the overall tone seems cloudier and less focused. Has anybody else noticed this? I have done the presence and density pot value correction on my amp, which definitely made a positive difference to its tone, but I feel like something is still missing. Does anybody else agree, and is there a solution?
In my apartment, I play my modules through the power section of an Egnater Tweaker into a Mesa combo cabinet, and I feel like I get better tone in that context than with the RM100 (either through a Mesa Recto vertical 2x12 or a Sunn Model T 1x12 cabinet). I haven't yet had the chance to A/B the preamp/Egnater combo and the RM100 through the same cabinet at high volume.
