Nice! Do you ever run the two horizontal Recto cabs together? I’ve considered getting another one.

I'm pretty sure they can all do this. I just set up a sound with only the preamp section of the desired amp model into the PS-2 and make sure the cab/IR is off. Sounds phenomenal.

Sorry to hear it. I recently went through a divorce. I almost unloaded a bunch of gear but ended up keeping almost everything and I'm glad I did. I don't play in a band right now, so I feel like I have a lot of stuff that I don't necessarily need. I'd rather sell it off after the fact...

For sure. When I had my little "studio" set up, I almost always preferred a dynamic mic about an inch from the speaker between cone/cap. Sometimes I'd blend a Blue condenser in the room too. But every now and then, I'll make or come across an iPhone clip that really captures the tone well...

Haha. Yeah, there are some really bad clips out there but I actually like a well-done room recording. It can give a good sense of how the amp really sounds when you're playing it. Most of us don't listen with our ears one inch from the cab :)

I guess I look at the tweaking thing a bit differently than most. Currently a Line 6 user which I run into a Power Station or the effects return of a tube head, and then into a 212 Mesa cab. I've spent time with Fractal too and I think that's the route I'll eventually take. I agree that...

I still like Dual Lock. Much nicer and more sturdy than velcro. I put horizontal rows down on the board and then cut very small pieces to stick on the pedals and it holds very strongly. I spent some time with a friend's Holeyboard and while the concept is awesome, I don't like the zip ties...

Wow, great deal I just went home for lunch and played mine, same exact setup. I've been dialing mine in lately by looping a few riffs and then tweaking the eq and walking around the room. Such a killer amp. Sucks that I traded my Mark IV for it but it's as good in different ways.

Those are so drastically different. I like the 2001s all-at-once tone much more than the '08s. I know that extra brightness helps it "cut through" and all that, but there are far more pleasing frequencies to be present in a mix or band situation. This perfectly shows why I love/hate V30s...

Yeah, pretty sure all TOVs are Rev G. I traded my Mark IV for one a couple years ago and it's a killer amp. I still miss the Mark IV though - mainly the tightness and no need for a boost. But the Tremoverb when boosted and cranked up is huuuuge. And it has a slightly different thing going...

Bumping this one Considering having him work on my Tremoverb - I love that amp when boosted and cranked, and when the humidity and temperature are just right, and....haha you get the point. That amp (and my last Recto with and without mods and to a lesser degree, my Mark IV) were great amps...

I have my LP and Tele in standard.

Not sure if John Wesley used his on one of the Porcupine Tree albums or if that was just Marshall, Bad Cat amps. He used one for a couple tours.

I'd like to do something with the Red channel on my Classic. Brent P gave me some cool ideas, I just have to get around to trying them out.

Nate, been awhile! Yeah, those early RT days were so good. I really wanted to get down there to hang with you guys. Sort of cringe-worthy to go back to old posts and watch yourself "grow up" on the forum but we had some fun. Dan was the coolest and there were only a few people that could...

I don’t get on here often anymore and am just seeing this now. Just terrible news:( I became close forum buds with Dan about 12 years ago or so. He’s a fellow Michigan guy although he’s downstate and I’m up in the U.P. I almost made the trip down one time years ago - he was going to host a...

41 Strange to think I was in my 20s when I joined RT. Time just flies

Ok, just played the Classic for the first time in quite a while and it’s sounding pretty damn amazing haha. And not as loose/round as I remembered. Maybe it’s just my mood.. I haven’t played my gear in a very long time and it’s all sounding so good. I guess when I play every day I start...

It's a little loose and I notice it mostly on the Red channel (Blue seems a bit leaner and tighter), however my main amp for years was a Mark IV so unfair to compare the two. But even my 2555x is a lot quicker and responsive in the low end. I talked to Brent P a couple years back and he came...

I am just now starting to get that itch...been out of gear and the whole thing for a long time since tearing down my guitar room, divorce and starting over. Dumped a Mark IVB that I had for years right before all this and now I'm missing it but I still have most of my gear. Played my 2555x...
