[QUOTE="webrthomson, post: 141072, member: 3087"] I'm with Marco on this - this would be my hit list (in order): [list]Preamp tubes - get some good quality ones in there (I like Ruby 12AX7 HG & JJ's) and a 5751 in the Phase Inverter (PI) tube position. Swap out the tubes in the modules too (more 12AX7's basically). Get the power tubes tested and replaced where needed! Get something to clean the power supply (voltage regulator). Get a better cab to try (even if it's only a good quality 2x12, Marshall 1936 Vintage or better), [b]speakers are really the biggest and most over looked component in your signal chain[/b], but good cabs are really quite expensive! Get a Foglifter / MDA board from Jaded Faith / Salvation. Think about modding the modules[/list] IMHO the SL+ should sound good - I've got both modded and unmodded and they all kick butt (mine are the silver face ones) but I always thought the stock XTC sucked quite badly :) Hope some of that helps!
