I have a .50 cal+, your DC-5 trannies are huge compared to the .50cals, I got tired of being buried by the other guitarists MKIII, as well my old 1971 Traynor Reverbmaster, I absolutely love the tone of the .50 cal...so I took mine to Kendrick amps and had Gerald install 100 watt trannies in my .50 cal, it now runs on two 6550's and will keep up with any MKIII.
