I was thinking about picking up a 1x12 Renegade combo for smaller gigs and rehearsal. How does the Renegade compare to the Mod 50? I'm running a DLX and VX module in the Mod 50.
I got to play/listen side by side a few months ago and I'm tellin' ya, if I didn't have my Mod, I'd likely have a Renegade. I felt the channels were more like the Bassman/SL2 though, or something close. For me, it's a great amp for my style of blues/classic/hard rock. Don't really know how "sparkly" the clean channel can get, but it did sound very good.
I have compared them side by side as well and the Mod 50 is more harmonically rich. I have the TD and SL2 modules and that is a setup that is hard to beat. There is a reason why the Mod 50 is 1500 more, and it is just not the higher labor costs of building them here
