  • Ultra XL vs XTC? Any thoughts?

  • @Horhayj I currently run the XTC into the LynchBox with JJ E34L's (not EL34's, there is a huge difference) and it's my dream tone. I prefer the XTC over the Ultra and Ultra XL because it has a more clear high-mid register and is slightly less saturated. If you have the RM100, I highly recommend switching the tubes out for JJ E34L's. Clarity and tightness is key in high-gain metal tones.

  • hey man how do you have your rocktron hush super c setup? and what are your knobs at for it I have mine at 12 oclock. but I still have a his I run mine in the front could I somehow run it through the front and back.

  • Hey man.. Love the vid. Can you tell me about your rocktron silencer unit. Its flaws, and so forth. Im looking to get one for my Randall RG-100Classic (GREAT tone from this amp btw)

  • hey man, really liked the video but ive been checking 1 of these amps out for a while now but i like el-34 kinda sound and i was wondering if u could tell a big difference in sound when you changed from 6l6 to el-34

  • @redrooster527 To be honest, it did make a difference. It certainly gave the sound more edge and bite, perfect for a very clear-cutting sound.

  • @saintslayerxdan the ultra xl module was based off the krank heads so it's probly the best shot since as i lay dying uses krank heads. the treadplate module was based off the mesa dual rect. so either way you're getting a metal sound. but the ultra xl will probly be closer.

  • love the sound man. like a as i lay dying type sound. awesome. i recently just got a rm100. but it has an ulta instead of an ultra xl. i'm putting in an ultra xl hopefully soon. are EL34's better for the heavy metal sound? i was thinking about either those or the 6550's.

  • Either sounds great, they both should be biased at the same level. You really need a noise gate with the ultra xl as it's very high gain.

  • hey

    im looking into buying one of these heads for as i lay dying sound

    is all i need the rm100 with black face and ulter xl mod?

    thanks :)

  • @saintslayerxdan They recorded AN Ocean Between Us with this amp so you'll probably get a pretty similar tone to that album.

  • I bias them at around 40-45 mv. Any higher and they have a higher tendency to blow.

  • What did you bias your tubes at? I changed my 6L6's to EL34's and have had nothing but problems with them.
