NAD and my MTS Rigs

Just picked up an RM50LB off of Ebay over the weekend for a ridiculuos price.

This thing is MINTY!!!

I have been wanting the RM50LB for quite some time and couldn't pass up the deal.

I love the Super V speakers and the addition of portability and reverb is a plus.

I am digging it so far although it is pretty dark sounding compared to the Lynch Box itself. I'm wondering if it has to do with the Presence/Density board, but I like it, it's not a bad thing.

The previous owner does have 6L6s in it and I haven't checked the bias yet. I will do that and maybe throw in some Tung-Sol EL34Bs I have. And check the preamp tubes as well.

Right now I run my RM100 and Lynch Box with JJ 6L6s on the outside and JJ E34Ls on the inside.

I bought my first RM100 and XXL cab with V-30s in July of 2007, then I joined this forum (I was formerly tdevil_666).

After some time I began not being all that happy with the ice picky highs of the V-30s, and always wanted a full stack for some reason, so I decided to add another XXL cab. This time I opted for the G12T-75 model which then I X patterned both cabs which I didn't mind, it made each speaker sound better to me. That was good for me until I found the Lynch Box.

In 2009 I wanted to get the Lynch Sig modules. As luck had it Musician's Friend emailed me with one of there "Special Call In Deals" and when I called I was able to get the loaded Lynch Box head for just a little over as much as just buying the 3 modules. I figured it would be good to have a spare head since I was already into the MTS world.

At first I wasn't too sure about the whole 80's alligator tolex thing. I much preferred the meaner black/metal grill look of my RM100 and XXL cabs, but after acquiring the Lynch Box head I began reading on here and else where about how awesome the Lynch cabs with the Eminence Super V's sounded. I actually dug the alligator in person and added one of those to my collection and that was it for the XXL cabs. the Lynch cabs blew them away. I quickly added another Lynch cab and the Lynch stack has been my main rig since then.

I always planned to put Super Vs in the XXL cabs too, but since they are now discontinued I'm not sure what I am going to do.

And here's my MTS Rigs

I love your rigs. Awesome setup you got there!

I am a big fan of the Super V as well, they show up on ebay some times...I got lucky on the pair that I have.

Yeah, but I need 8, or 4 at least :roll: :lol:

That's why I put it off for so long, $1000 for speakers is kind of ridiculous.

I was going to email Eminence and ask what the closest speaker they have to it is, I figure it was probably based off of a Legend, or try some Texas Heats & Governors in an X Pattern or something.

I asked them about the closest speaker once and I believe they told me it was the legend V128. I have swamp thangs and Texas heats in an x pattern in one cab and they are pretty crushing but I don't think there is much difference in the two other than an extended bottom end on the st. I had governors and man o wars together too and really liked that. That combo is very similar to the Celestion v30 / g12t75 combo.

Sweet Rigs!

Nice rigs! Those Super Vs are cool as hell...Wish they were available more readily...

Now on to the important question, is there actual whiskey in that huge bottle?

Thanks guys

No, I'd be dead if it was. :lol:

It's a bank.

Brilliant idea, a bank for money to buy boose.
I dig the stacks. Always has been something cool about 4x12 cabs stacked to the ceiling.
From what I remember on the Eminence site, there were some tonal/frequency reponse differences, between the Legend128 & the Super V. I wonder if I can locate the Super V graph.

Nah, the bank was actually purchased for nostalgic purposes. My first taste of alcohol I remember when I was like 10 or something was this drink my Mom made every year for Christmas, it was just called "Slush". I remember she used to get a big can of Donald Duck frozen orange juice concentrate, I think a lemon one, and boil it with sugar and some other stuff. Then add a bottle of 7 and cherries and it just got "slushy" in the freezer because of the alcohol. You'd scoop some in a glass and pour 7-Up over it, so it was basically a 7 & 7 with orange juice and cherries :lol:

Then also being a big Dime fan, he had a 7 tattoo and a 7 guitar, and me and my friends used to drink 7 before PanterA shows. A lot of history with me and Seagram's 7 :lol:

And my grandma had a glass whiskey bottle that actually came full of whiskey that same size she used as a bank for years.

The last time I cleaned out the bank it was for a guitar off of CL, a 2008 Vintage White Explorer 8)

I dig the look too, it's like Spinal Tap in my living room!!! :lol: But I'll tell you what, if I had bought the RM50LB first, I probably wuoldn't have either stack. It's really weird but it sounds darker and fuller to me than the 4 X 12s and I even hooked it up to the Lynch cabs.

I did have the tone chart for a Super V linked in a thread on here, but that link is no longer functional.

Yeah I remember my 1sttaste of alcohol & it was about that same age. :lol:
My cousins and my situation was less innocent. Grandpa had some hard liquor in the basement refrigerater. I'm quite certain it was not there for us to taste. :lol: Oddly enough the blackberry brandy didn't seem to smell that bad, but holy crap, it was absolutely horrible going down the hatch. :shock:

Here is a screenshot of the Super V manual I downloaded a couple years back.
