    Is it safe to use an 8 Ohm cab with a 16 Ohm output on amp?

    No. Doing so will result in the amp running hotter than intended.

    Soooo… $3499 for the RI Dual Rec?

    I do remember a long time ago watching one of Fluff's videos where he talked about his Les Paul's NOT holding their tuning very well. Maybe this is revenge for that. I think he was saying how he didn't use them for shows too often due to their poor stability. hahaha

    Dual Recto revision?

    $1800 is bit steep even if it looks brand new still. I'd bet they don't get more than $1200 but who knows. IMO there's nothing at all lacking in an original 3-channel, given you like the rectifier sound to begin with. The Multi-Watt is a bit brighter and tighter, but the OG is a bit fatter and...

    So another "Gear" forum reports the MESA multi-watt is 86'd. Wat say you ?

    MW should be abundant on the used market for a long time. I'm not sure which era or version has sold the most, but the MW is the longest running era and has probably been revised or altered by far the least of any era.

    Reissue Recto - Found a clip

    Just say'n that when people compare them and say "close but not quite there" they need to take tubes into account. I actually have a stash of the 420s plus plenty of those older preamp tubes that were stock in these way back.

    Reissue Recto - Found a clip

    It still won't have those older 420 coke bottles though. I guess they probably have the JJ/445.

    Reissue Recto - Found a clip

    Old small logo looks stupid anyways IMO. Is this a rev-G or an F? Probably is a bit different than either I'm guessing.

    Freaking GC bullchit

    Tribute tone was great IMO. Not sure who was in control of that, and who was or wasn't in control of his album tones.

    For that price I thought all those dots must be push-button mods.

    Steve Vai and Joe Satriani have formed a new band together – and will release new music ahead of upcoming tour

    IMO they both have great stuff that was well after the early 90s.

    Front VS Rear loaded cabs actual test

    Theoretically wouldn't you move the mic back about the same distance as the thickness of the front baffle when recording the front-mount speaker? Otherwise the mic will always be closer to the speaker on front-mounts, hence the whole "punchier/brighter" descriptions that people often claim.

    Front VS Rear loaded cabs actual test

    Rear-loaded is for bottoms, and FL is for tops.

    School me on bang for the buck cabinets

    Also the Carvin V3 cabs. Some are V30 loaded,, some T75, and some have Carvin's house speakers. All are front loaded iirc.

    About recorded amp harshness and highs

    Anyone here ever try a beta-57? It's much crisper and more defined sounding in both the highs and lows than the basic 57, and a bit louder too. Maybe it's too bright/harsh for center or near dust-cap placement but I found it actually very useful for placing near the outside edge to blend with...

    DSL100, school me please

    Not having the DSL logo does not mean it is pre 2004. They were JCM 2000 up until 2009ish. The problems were pre 2004.
