It was beyond the sound. The amp was problematic. I played a treadplate and it wasnt BAD but it also wasnt GOOD. The treadplate that came with my RM100 was disgusting. It sounded like a WWII radio. Same with the ultra. I think the clean was only decent because it was just a straight clean...

Yea I kind of understand what you mean. Im not that familiar with many amps or their setups but I did play through a half-stack of one of the Mesa Studio amps. I compared it to the combo and it was a massive difference. I have since sold my RM100C and STILL havnt managed to sell my 5150 combo...

Thank you very much! How do you feel about the Green Stripe? I heard that one was closer to a Mark IV? Ill take your info into account if I come across one =)

Yea, Im going to want to be gigging with it soon :) And I just dont want to run it through the 5150 return. Im honestly not happy with my 5150 combo, to me its like a 6.5/10 for what I want. The Randall I just got is like a 4/10. The 5150 is closer, but still not worth keeping...

Your the second person to recommend that pre amp! The problem that I have, is that when you add Preamp+Poweramp+Rack casing+Cab+cables etc. It gets really expensive really fast. Im in a position where all I can spend is all I can get out of my 5150 combo. If it sells for $550, I can spend about...

I got it yesterday at about 4 pm. And yea, the first time I powered it up it worked fine, just didnt sound the way I expected it to. Second time none of the modules were light. Third It worked fine again. Yea, Im gonna have to take it back then :( Im a bit upset, I had such high hopes for it...

Alowerdeep: Yup. Seems I have yours! Wish they wouldve told me that there were some defects with the MIDI :( It really is a small world we live in... I think im gonna have to return it... I played with ti for awhile and I just wasnt happy. At first I was settling because I was just happy I...

Its guitar center, no disrespect if any of you guys work there but majority of the guys ive dealt with there are completely lost. They wouldnt even notice. Theyre so lost, they advertised that it came with a "Tweed" module. I opened the box when I got home from school today and I was gladly...

Yea now im starting to see that all the hype of these amps is really from the modders. Thing is, Im pretty bad in debt at the moment, im only 17, and cant find a good stable job. My parents would flip out If I started sending out modules to get modded! Id really like to keep this amp, since...

Thanks for the quick reply! All the preamp tubes in each module are new, I took out the old rubys and replaced them with a mix of JJ ECC83's, ECC803, Tung Sol 12AX7's, and Sovtek 12AX7LPS. So theyre all pretty good tubes. Ill test the bias points later today/tomorrow as Ive got a gefty amount...

Hello all! After reading up on these amps and lurking on these forums, I started to look for a RM100 for a fair price. I found the 212 combo used in mint condition for only $550 so I decided to go with it and finally register to the forum! The speakers in it are Celestian G12-60's. I thought...
