I played a gig tonight where I got to really turn up my Mod 50. Man those TS 6500 really like to be punished. My clean and dirty tones from the DXL and SL were stellar. I may look into an attenuator. While the master volume is great it's not the same as lighting up the power tubes. A friend who plays in another band told me that this was the best tone he's ever heard from me and I've owned a vintage 64 Vox AC30/6, Matchless DC30, Komet 60, BF Fender, TopHat King Royale, Dr.Z's, Kendrick ect.

What attenuator do you guys recommend for the Mod 50? I only need to shave off a few db's for some of the smaller clubs.

Ear plugs :lol: :LOL: The TS 6550s kill in that amp and yes it does sound killer cranked :rock:
 
The attenuator most liked on here seems to be the Faulstine or however it is spelled. Pete Thorn did a demo with several amps, was posted on the site but I think its from youtube. THEY ARE PRICEY ...$900ish

I have a THD and it works great with my Marshall or Mesa MK III but sucks with the Bogners. I dont remember if I had it on my Mod50/100s, if I did it must of been ok because I dont remember.
 
my buddy uses the Weber mass lite's with pretty good luck for his amps, including a Rebel 30.

Dude, you got me thinking about those damn GCB cables........ :doh: :thumbsup:

Sorry about the GAS :lol: :LOL: The Sommer Grindycop Beast cables are awesome. I could send you mine to try for a few days.
 
Hey man, thanks for the offer!! No need for now but I'll certainly let you know!! Appreciate it man.
 
Hi,

what I can say is, that I had the same experience with my M4 and RT2/50: I wasn't impressed by the bedroom-level sound, but as soon I as I played at higher volumes (more than you could do in your flat), the sound was awsome and one of the best sounds I had ever.
Not only the Mod50 likes to be loud.
