[QUOTE="mbach1972, post: 141229, member: 3464"] I just wanted to give you guys a little update. I got some new tubes in today and what a difference that made! I put a 5751 in the PI and replaced the v1 with a different EC883. Not only do the distorted sounds of the SL+ and XTC sound considerably better, the clean Blackface tone is SOOO much sweeter sounding. I haven't made any headway on my garbage cab yet, 70 hrs at work this week got in the way a little. This thing sounds pretty good with the new tubes, I can't wait to hear it through some decent speakers! I think I've far underestimated the importance of speakers all along. Anyone have any recommendations for a good 2x12? Finally, while my XTC sounds way better, I feel like something still doesn't add up with it. It's actually a pretty good sounding module, it just doesn't sound like it's supposed to (I think.) Maybe I'm expecting too much, but it doesn't have any more gain than my SL+. It falls short of others that I've heard and doesn't really sound like an Bogner to me. I'm sure it's one of the very early XTC's, which I think are generally regarded as not so great. Thanks for all the help. It's great that there's still people going strong with the MTS amp and dishing out help. Its taken me a few years, but I think with a new cab, I'm going to have this amp singing!! [/QUOTE]
