difference between rm50 and rm80 combos?

[JIMPAL1]

Are there huge differences between the rm50 combo and the rm80 combo? I'm considering getting the rm80 but not if it is very similar to the rm50 that I have. I appreciate anyone's thoughts.

I'm pretty sure it came stock with different tubes...hence the 80 watt rating...don't quote me on that that though. I'm sure someone here will chime in....

I'm pretty sure you are right. From what I saw it came with 6550s vs 6l6s.

You are 100% correct. It's an RM50 with different power tubes from the factory. Same tranny's and all.

Thank you gentlemen. You just saved me some cash.

I think the 50 comes with reverb where the 80 doesnt.
I may be wrong.

The RM80 is a 2x12 instead of a 1x12 combo and has casters for easier transport. It originally comes stock with 6550's. I does not have a reverb tank but i think it does have a power jack for one. Other than those specs it is exactly the same as the RM50. The RM80 has also been discontinued so it will be harder to find.

...the rm80 should come with a roadie, imho.
