[QUOTE="MetalMike, post: 66052, member: 2444"] I'm thinking about buying the new RT100 because it's a great price for a 100 watt all tube amp (I already broke the bank when I bought my MESA/Boogie Stiletto 4x12 Cab...totally worth it though). Can anyone give me a good description (or comparison to other amps) of the tones and/or overall quality(craftsmanship)? I know I can get amazingly clear and powerful Rock/Metal tones from almost any amp's clean channel with my pedal set-up (Krank Distortus Maximus, followed by an MXR 10-band EQ) but I'd rather just use the EQ in the FX loop with the amp's distortion and really fire-up the power tubes. I couldn't get a really good idea of the metal tone sounds from any demos (Joe Delaney only played bluesy, mid-saturated 70s style riffs and The Tone King can't palm mute to save his life, plus neither one played it through Vintage 30s?!?) I think it's funny how people demo metal/shredder amps with AC/DC and strum all the strings like they're in a coffee shop doing open-mic (A great way to demo for metal heads would be the intro to "Versus The World" by Amon Amarth, or "Purified" by Lamb of God).
