Thanks for the info! I am running the rig in my signature: RM4 into VHT power amp. Currently I'm using a Randall XL cab with Vintage 30s. I also just ordered a Marshall JMD head, but it has not arrived yet.

I've generally played 412 cabs in the past but am considering picking up a 212. I'd like a tighter sound with slightly less bass than my 412. Can anyone here vouch for the Egnater Tourmaster 212 cab? How do the Celestion Elite 80 speakers compare to Vintage 30s? Any input on this cab or...

I've been using the VHT/Fryette 2/50/2 for seveal years now. It's not as expensive as most folks think. I paid $899 for mine brand new from Guitar Asylum, and that was not part of any special sale or anything. They maintain their resale value very well, though. The main difference between...

I don't have any personal experience with the Marshall 20/20 myself...but when I was shopping/researching power amps, I read in numerous places that the Marshall 20/20 sounds good but is prone to overheating.

What module/settings are you using there? Good hard rockin' tone.

How about giving us a rundown of which modules you're using on which songs?

My rig gets significantly brighter as the night goes on. Not a little bit, SIGNIFICANTLY. I try to adjust the presence on my power amp to compensate, but it's a pain in the ***, nonetheless. I don't know if it's my RM4 or the VHT power amp that's to blame. I've changed the power tubes a few...

George, I checked out your page, but the video I saw contained clips of only 3 songs, plus a drum solo. My band does 2 of those 3 songs (Paralyzer and Slither), so it appears we are playing pretty much the same stuff (modern rock with a few classic rockers thrown in). I liked your tone; it is...

What is the M mod?

Thanks to all for the kind words. George, I'll try to check out those clips tonight (am at work right now).

To harsh: I just noticed in another thread that you're in a modern metal band. IMO, you really should be looking at the H & K Coreblade, not the Switchblade. The Coreblade is H & K's new, metalized version of the Switchblade. While the Switchblade appears to be voiced for classic rock/hard...

1. Wear a chastity belt to any meeting with the record company. 2. Whatever you do, do not sign an "intent to sign" contract with the company. Sometimes the A&R guy will push one of these, saying "don't worry, all it does is formalize our intent to sign you to our label." These "intent to...

Bump. I'm also dying to hear some real world feedback on this amp. Most of the youtube clips I've heard sounded very promising, but they're often at bedroom volume and the real test of an amp is in a band situation at gig volumes. Anyone? :?:

What's the difference between all of the V2 variations?...besides the colors, of course.
