Members aepoc Posted March 18, 2005 Author Members Share Posted March 18, 2005 Mitch, just wonderin' how it went at practice with the changes to the Recto module. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MitchSchaft Posted March 18, 2005 Members Share Posted March 18, 2005 Well, the cap I used was off the TB module and I it was labeled 224j something or another. I swapped 'em out and didn't hear a lick of difference. I don't know if the cap is actually a .0022 or what. I'm gonna have to suck it up and order some {censored} off the net since I can't find anybody locally the sells 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members emir44caliber Posted March 21, 2005 Members Share Posted March 21, 2005 WOO HOO the Randall MTS thread!!!! ya i'm running my rm100m into a mesa recto 4x12 at 8 ohms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members aepoc Posted March 21, 2005 Author Members Share Posted March 21, 2005 I'm running my RM50 combo through a 2x12 that's wired at 8 ohm each speaker, so I'm running the amp on 4 ohm's (with the combo's speaker disconnected). I switch it to 16 ohms when I connect the internal speaker and disconnect the 2x12 cabinet. Hey Shellshock, my combo has always been set to 16 ohms. Even at the store, I checked their other combos, 16 ohms. Weird. What do you guys think it should cost for my local shop to rewire the cabinet to mono so I can ue the internal combo speaker WITH my 2x12? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TheGZeus,OnFire Posted March 21, 2005 Members Share Posted March 21, 2005 Originally posted by MitchSchaft Smartass, I'll kick your teeth in . I just seems like asking "are you guys using speakers?" or "How many preamp tubes do you have in yours?"As long as you're using the correct settign for the load it doesn't matter.

Members shred-o-holic Posted March 22, 2005 Members Share Posted March 22, 2005 I've got an Egnator SL++ module for sale. I paid $275 less than a month ago. I'll let her go for $215 shipped (US 48). These list at $400 and are US made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members emir44caliber Posted March 22, 2005 Members Share Posted March 22, 2005 hey shred, are the egnator modules really that muh better than the randall ones? also can a top boost do a very clean, clean sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may kill my resale but honestly I haven't noticed a huge difference. Some people claim there is becuz supposedly egnator uses better components. I've never tried the Randall SL+. JKD had my SL++ along with his Randall version for a brief stint and may chime in with his impression of the two... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people claim there is becuz supposedly egnator uses better components. I've never tried the Randall SL+. JKD had my SL++ along with his Randall version for a brief stint and may chime in with his impression of the two... OK...so I had the two side by side in the amp. I have to say the only difference really is the extra voicing switch you get on the Eggie vs. the Randall. I didn't study what the voicing switch actually did electrically but it sounded more open in one mode than the other and chances are it shifts the mids. Unfortunately I think I learned how to dial in the SL+ after I gave shred the Eggie back. I didn't like the SL+ (either version) at first...too unfocussed but the 'secret' is (as with most amps I suppose) to open it up (Channel vol. 9 o'clock, Power amp/Master at 12 o'clock or greater.) I had been thinking that the SL+ was too dark also....guess what happened after I changed my strings this weekend? Sounded much brighter and the overbearing bass impression I had been getting was almost gone...DOH! (Homer J moment.) I also discovered the RM100 is *very* boost friendly. I "Bad Monkey'd" it up this weekend: Level - MaxLow - 9 o'clockHigh - 12 to 1:30 o'clockGain - That said - clearly the Egnater version is largely handcrafted. A quick look at it revelead: 1. Different switching - looked like the Eggie version had some sort of relay vs the FET switch on the Randall2. Higher spec components3. The board layout looked a little different overall - but this could have just been PCB revisions??? Would it be more reliable long term? I don't know. I think you get a lifetime warranty with the Eggie version but Randall aren't slow on support either (in fact they are awesome!) Another observation from this weekend (I spent a couple of hrs annoying the wife): Now I opened the amp up some more (and changed strings)...can actually here a large difference between the Plexi and SL+ modules even when EQ'd similarly. The Plexi does a mean version of Hangar 18 (with a boost..although it could probably get there without with gain maxed)...am still struggling with recording it though.

They tried to deliver it yesterday but I wasn't home. I want to see if the Ultra Lead is as noisy as my Ultra (in theory it could be noisier...I think it has *more* gain!!!! but maybe more compressed)If it is quieter then I'll send my Ultra in for service I think. If I can score the UL then chances are I'll only keep one of 'em so one will be up for sale soon. In any case, am quite happy to lend you my Ultra (or the UL if I get it.)USPS man returned my Ultra yesterday and I was out too :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JKD Posted March 22, 2005 Members Share Posted March 22, 2005 @shred-o-holic Got my Ultra back today..I guess it is kind of noisy but thankfully no noiser than when I sent it....so it didn't get damaged in the mail like you first thought. With the gain What's weird is, I put my gate in the loop (series) and it can't kill the hiss.... The other modules I have don't have this problem but then again none of them have gain approaching that of the Ultra (the Recto would be closest) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
