[QUOTE="goldsparkletop, post: 161, member: 32"] This past weekend I got to hook up my RM4 for the first time. I'm using a new VHT 2/50/2 for a power amp. I was rather surprised at how much low end my Blackface module was putting out, and it was difficult to dial out without making the high strings sound brittle. There was also some distortion (especially in the low notes) if the gain was above 10 o'clock. For the record, this is a new Blackface module with the updated resistor. Maybe this is how a Twin really sounds (have to admit I've never played one), but it wasn't what I was expecting! Guess I was expecting a clean like my old TOL100 had. Comparatively, my Plexi and Recto modules don't put out nearly as much low end. The Blackface was also louder than them, for that matter. Has this been everyone else's experience (boomy bass from the Blackface)? If so, what other clean modules might you recommend trying? Gary [/QUOTE]
