i like them all ,, especially the way they were used. ( not just metal )
what was the gain on the scary?...sounded a little lower than im used to hearing it...

 

[Dallas Marlow]

Gain on the Mr. Scary was probably 1:30-2 oclock, just a bit past half, the 6L6's seem to give a bit more head room so I cranked it up just a touch, but barely.

 

[rectifier]

whats was recording process?...speakers used?

 

[Dallas Marlow]

Hey Rec,

It's just one SM57 straight into a ghetto pro tools MBOX.

Cab is a Marshall Straight 4x12 of V30s, 1960BV.

 

[rectifier]

sounds like a simple but effective setup....what about super v..?..hehehe

 

[Dallas Marlow]

Haha, I've got it sitting over here just haven't plugged it in yet. I dunno, theres something that just doesn't do it for me with that mod, it's cool... but I almost like the low gain clean from the Brahma better! I'll try and get a high volume clip of the V tomorrow.

 

[rectifier]

yea, im beginning to agree about the clean ofthe brahma...thats why im intrested in the clip... make me change my mind..lol

 

[Shinozoku]

Awesome, man! It sounds like the EL34's give the modules a bit more rock CLANG to em, clearer bottom, and maybe slightly sweeter upper mids.

 

[Dallas Marlow]

Yea they def change the sound a bit. I actually have been toying around with it and realize in that clip I had the 6L6GC's biased to cold, I was running them at 36mv, but since they are GC's and not just 6L6's I needed to bump them up to about 45mv, it was a noticable improvement in warmth and fatness, also I moved them to the outside and much more like the feel of the amp now!

 

[Shinozoku]

New clips please?

Also, what is the tonal difference in having one tube type on the inside or the outside?

 

[Dallas Marlow]

Hey,

I'll try and get some new clips up when I get back in town. Down in Miami right now... and omg Anna Kournicova is so hot in person, and taller, whys she gotta be with Enrique???

- Anyway, the 6L6's are a lot tighter in the middle with a very flat compressed feel to them not spongy at all, the EL34's give you a more spongy feel and seem to be more dynamic and less compressed. Whichever tube you run in the middle seems to give the amp more characteristics like that specific tube.

 

[Shinozoku]

So did you dial them hotter in the middle before swapping them to the outside to test it, I guess?

Also, I read in the RM100's manual that 5881 tubes (aka the 6L6GC) have the same range as regular 6L6s. Where did you learn that they should be higher up?
