Dime and Marty will always have a special place in my heart. Blues Saraceno is up there. Hairpick is insane and tasteful to my ears. Ian Thornley has really stepped into that role for me too in a much more well-rounded way as far as writing and being the full package.

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.
