SL2 vs. SL+

[skunky_funk]

I currently have an SL+ module for my RM100. At the least I'd say it sounds like a Plexi on steroids, however, it has this annoying glassiness when the gain kicks in. I've pondered on modding it with the JCM800 voicing mod, but then, I also thought getting an SL2 can be a better idea.

How does the Egnater SL2 module compare to the SL+?

Well I have the Egnater SL2 so I'd be very curious to know the difference as well. What area of the country are you in?

Hey Bill, how's it goin'!

Skunk, depending on the revision of the SL+, I've seen a few that already had the 'JCM800 mod'. Might want to check your board vs the info on the mod thread. If the SL+ sounds real dark and scoopy, then it's probably non 800 - if it actually has mids and sounds more like a plexi with added gain, it may already have the JCM800 mod. I like both which is why I started modding them with a switch to go between.

I've seen a few modules that looked to have the 800 mod from the factory. Not sure on certain serial #s or anything like that, easiest way to tell is to look at the slope resistor for the tone stack.

all the new sl+ have the 800 mod done to them.

I figured either that or someone got REAL good at doing factory looking mods!
