Conversation Between CrushingAnvil and petereanima

haha yeah, my RM100 is unforgiving, you cant make a mistake cause It'd chew you up and spit you out.

oh, i AM a fan of saturated tone - but lately i always find myself dialing in a more "dryer" tone as it makes the band-sound much more brutal.

the problem is, the saturation covered my partly-bad-playing, and playing dryer shows me what i did wrong for years

oh shit for a second I thought you meant 6505, the peavey

not a fan of saturated tone eh?

the 6550 is tube-type - similar to a KT88. as far as i know kinda an old military version of the EL34.

much more headroom, more bass, tighter, dryer....played a Diezel Herbert at the Musicfair in Frankfurt, equipped with those...just amazing. less saturation, but simply brutal!

What do you mean by 6550 tubes?

yeah, then its pretty unnecessary at the moment i would say haha!

i want to retube my Diezel as well, and go with 6550 - tubes, but they are fucking expensive and i'm broke haha :-/

Yeah, Thing is, I'll be playing in a Death Metal band, like, straight up death metal, so I dont have much of a need for clean channels or crunch channels just yet, thankfully!

She's getting re-tubed in a couple of weeks \m/

yeah, not the cheapest "update" haha...

I thought so - and It costs four hundred and fifty USD? lol

in short: yes, with the right modules.

long version: the RM100 is basically a licensed version of an amp of EGNATER, and their modules also work in the normal RM100 - BUT: the Egnater modules are all 2-channel modules, but the RM100-midi chip is a bit cheap and cannot work with tha, so only the first channel of the Egnater moduels worked. you can get a chip-update now from Egnater/randall, so your amp could handle BOTH channels of the egnater Modules - that would give you the opportunity to get a full 6-channel amp (3 modules, 2 channels each).
