[QUOTE="Jgalvs, post: 100467, member: 2923"] Hey forum, I'm new here. :) Two weeks ago I stumbled across the Randall MTS series and really dig the whole concept behind these amps. You guys have a well kept secret indeed! :wink: My band and I just began doing small gigs around town, and I would like to upgrade to either the RM50 or RM100 combo that I can use both around the house and at some venues. Before you jump down my throat, I [i]have[/i] read up on both... but I have come up short on a few points and would like to ask you knowledgeable owners: (1) Ideally, I would like to achieve some good high gain tones at low volumes to keep the cops from busting down my door... Would I be safe in assuming that taking out a pair of tubes from a RM100 and just using a pair of 6v6s will sound the same as a RM50 with 6v6s? (around 20 watts?) (2) If not, are the combos' voicings majorly different (not just with 6v6s, in general)? Right now I would just buy the 100 watt for the extra slot/MIDI control and be done with it, but I have heard from more than a few people that they prefer the sound of the RM50 over the RM100 for vague reasons (which is what keeps me at bay). The RM100's heaviness doesn't help it, either. I know both amps can and will get plenty loud should I crank them, so I'm really just looking to get the most versatile setup possible. In any case, I'm considering swapping out the speaker(s) for the eminence maverick... a setup I know kc2eeb was pretty happy with. Sorry for my rambling, and if this topic has already come up, feel free to shut me up and direct me to the thread :oops: [/QUOTE]
