New RV 100 mkii day! + a few queries.
Posted: Thu Sep 27, 2012 11:02 am
Hey guys!
So for those of you that remember, I was thinking about selling my TV50 as I had "fallen out of love with it". Well I sold it and pulled the trigger on the RV100 mkii. Couldn't be happier, and it's great to have a big headroom amp with a dedicated clean channel. Also the drive has this amazing 'vocal' quality, for lack of a better word that is just astounding.
Anyway, I promise to have the obligatory pics & review soon, I just have a few questions:
1. Now I've never had a 100 watter before, so I just wanted to ask fellow owners, how hot should the head get? after about an hour the top plate gets pretty damn hot! I remember my tv50 getting really hot but this is something else. I'm guessing bigger wattage, bigger trainee, more tubes = more heat. Would this be an accurate assumption?
2. Also, I'd love to hear some of your fave setting! I've had a ball tweaking so far and have dialled in most of the tones I'm after. I'm interested in what ya'll are dialing in for more low/mid gain sounds? like that point where the difference between clean and overdriven is your picking.
Any advice is much appreciated, thanks!
