OK I am like a kid waiting for Christmas morning. I have a RM100 head & a total of 5 modules en route this week from several sources:
1086
Ultra
KH-3
Top Boost
Pete modded Deluxe
I'm looking to buy maybe 1 or 2 other modules...for now. So: what two modules (stock or modded) would best fill in tone gaps between the 5 above? I'm least interest in Marshall-ish modules since I also own a Voodoo modded DSL 100, although it is sadly in the shop for another few weeks. (A few people claimed the modded SL+ could out-Marshall a DSL100 - maybe for a stock one; doubt it for a Voodoo.)
I play 95% rhythm guitar in a 2 guitar cover/garage band, rarely any lead. Call me Malcolm Young, without the talent. or fame. or money. you get the idea. Our music range is pretty broad - from mid 60s classic rock through 80s hard rock/metal, occasional late 80s thrash metal & 90s alternative.
My rig: Marshall 1960a w/ G12T-75s, the RM100 with Ruby EL34s (for now); a H/S/S MIJ Strat, a 79 Les Paul Std that I butchered in my youth with SH-8 Invader & Super Distortion p-ups & a Jimmy Page mod (great 80s metal tone though), a bone stock SG Special (which I love for AC/DC & Sabbath tunes), and a Carvin DC150T that doesn't get much use. I have a few pedals that I rarely use- normally just run straight to the head. I also have an SGX 2000 Express & ART X-15 MIDI controller that I'm afraid to break so I don't take it out of my house much... if I can figure out a how to program complex presets on the RM100 with the X-15, that might change.
Suggestions? XTC? Grail? Brahma? Blackface? Tweed? what?
