As it turns out, my local GC has a new one of these in stock so I played it. At first I was turned off by the neck size but after A/Bing it with 10+ other LPs on the wall I realized how much better it really is. That said being all Mahogny it was definitely darker than the maple cap LPs across...

The thing about that Rev C, it's not about the recorded or even live tone. It's about how it feels, more Mark II/III like under the fingers. Very addictive to play.

Oh without a doubt the MTL I had, like the SLO, destroyed all things Mesa in the live band mix in terms of cut and they also had great tone. Unfortunatley I really just didn't enjoy playing the MTL. Playing the Mesas is my love affair between my fingers & the fretboard so I deal with the fact...

Sounds just like a Recto on a Mesa 2x12 with 16 ohm V30s from the teens to me.

It's probable they're loading these with STR-445 RED which will be cold AF. Might be cold enough that (with careful testing) EL34 mode (hotter bias) could work.

So the "funky mids" in the C+ reissue are, IMO, going to help it sit better in a live mix than the OG. The DR Multiwatt also has better mids for the live mix than older Rectos. IMO. If this Recto RI is Rev F-ish with those funky mids, it may also win the live mix battle. Just saying...

Heads up, the Recto RI goes live at GC / MF at 10pm tonight (not sure what time zone).

I am currently leaning towards a normal Custom. A black one, because apparently the white ones are made on the USA production line because they have to use their paint booths for the white... WTF? I also went down the Axcess rabbit hole- SUPER cool specs, however I found out they are thinner...

Yeah unfortunatley the Supremes are modern chambered. Which sucks because the one I was looking at was a stunner.

Hold up- with these comments I just realized the new Customs are also weight releived. (and still 10 lbs LOL) So this is not the tone devil?

Yeah I have been looking at the standard Customs. From what I can tell I think you're right, it'd be more up my alley than a RI custom.

Doing some more reading, I'm seeeing that the Custom RIs come with a nylon nut. Almost $7K for a guitar and a nylon nut!?! WTF is that?!?! Anyway, seems like what I'm hearing is that the Moderns really do sound more.. modern, to the extent that if I was to compare one of those to a good...

Not sure about raceu but I do, just picked up an 84 B and 86 A cab. So the last few hours I've been rabbit holing comparing these Moderns to Customs, regular + 57RI + 68 RI. Seems like most of the difference is in the PUPs. Maybe I need to take a trip to play all this shit. :ROFLMAO:

@LP Freak hey thanks, yours does look pretty killer. For this purchase I am planning on using my Gear Card since it's empty right now, saving my cash for a pair of 1960TV cabs I have on backorder. So today I went to the local & played 10 or so LPs. Trads, 50s & 60s Standards, Classics, even a...

Do they sound right? How's the QC? So I've never owned a Les Paul. I've played a few of them, and with their baseball bat necks and rosewood boards it's never been my thing feels-wise, though they definitely have "that" sound. A while back I was in a local store & picked up a new Studio Session...

Just came across this on sevenstring. Happy to hear any clips available. Sad to hear another guy with a Gibson that can't chug. Looking forward to the guys who can save the product launch!!!

The Dual MW is, and that's why it cuts better live than most (all?) other Rectos. The Triple MW however is more "scooped" and normal recto sounding, IMO.

I think A sounded far better. That said I think B is real, it sounds like a bad mic position. For recording, as much as I hate to admit it, modelers and DIs are SO much easier to land on a good tone than micing a cab which is really it's own skill.

Well, being a Peavey it will sound better in a live mix than say a... IIC+.

Making some ? now.. The thing about the C+ RI is if I didn't have OGs, I would be proud to have a RI. However, I have OGs so.... I've gone & sold all my Rectos so the Recto RI is more interesting to me. I could get a Triple MW that's about a month old for $2K so that's the comparison...
