Thanks for the response. I can't imagine how stupid loud it can get. Putting it around 4 on the dial which is like just past 9 o'clock was already very loud. It sounds so good at lower volumes though.

I played one today and really liked it. I noticed that it started to lose a lot of definition as i turned it up to gigging volume. I mean, it still sounded gnarly it just wasn't as crisp and it seemed like the lows were getting lost no matter how I eq'd it. Has anyone gigged with this amp? would...

Those are pretty much the two best amps to come out in a while. I've gotten the chance to play both and they are both epic in their own right. The GF can get modern sounding but you have to tweak the gain EQ to get it. The HI mode on the RA is very saturated and can go where the GF can't. The...

Yeah. I called just now to try and talk them down on the price. "Im willing to do... 1450?". Silliness. I've seen 20th anni's in nice condition for 300 more. I just cant believe they would try to hold that firm to a middle ground price point on an amp thats the equivalent of a used car with...

Went into GC today to play a lp custom there and was surprised to find a very ragged looking bogner shiva in the platinum room. This thing was wrecked, I mean Haggard as all get out. The tolex was destroyed, the grill had very apparent stains all over it and the footswitch was mostly black from...

Yeah same here, I had a V and bought an older triple for the added lowend. I hated the rec for single note runs. Sold both. However, I would have no problem making the new dual rec my primary amp if the price was right.

Forget everything you think you know about rectifiers until you play the new multiwatt version. They tweaked it to be a pretty damn good amp. I use to detest them, but id easily consider taking one over my old mk.V-- That said, I'd set both on fire and piss on them for an RA.

Ha, I've been curious about the Fractal gear. I saw a major act using one live a few months back. I could hear it fine. It just sounded... different. Not bad, just noticeably different from other live setups I've heard. It had a very distinct thing going on in the mids.

Good call. It would be nice to have a guitar designated for standard and Eb tuning.

Also, The rig I have in my head is such: 2x Used Mesa stiletto Ace 2x12 combos (one for a backup) $2000+/- Strymon El capistan/bluesky A workhorse guitar for less than a grand A furman power conditioner A tuner (whether rackmounted like a dtr or in a pedal like a tu-2 is undecided) build my...

Thanks for all the input guys. I personally will probably spend a lot less than the $5000. I just wanted to see what you guys would personally get as your ideal setup if you had about 4-5k to spend to build something from the ground up. Mostly interested in just seeing what sort of things people...

The Cleans on the Mk.V are stupid good. The Mk.iii I played was extremely mushy and ugly sounding. Perhaps it had issues though?

I'm under a budget of about 5000 bucks and I cant decide whether or not to skimp on the amp or the guitar side of things. The only effects I use are reverb and delay so building a pedal board is a non-issue especially if the chosen amp had onboard reverb. Playing contemporary rock music, nothing...

Yeah, I'm anxious to hear your thoughts on the 5150 too. I had an eye on that one.

Thank god. That shiva is all mine, ha.

Played one today in GC Seattle... Ghosts... all i can say is ... ghosts, man. Its like gibson trapped the spirits of guitar players past in these things. Best guitar I've ever played. I played an R8, a white custom, and a new blue jean custom pro next to it. '57 had next level mojo-- blew the...

Yeah, A lot of guys havent played the new multiwatt reboot. I use to have mixed feelings about the rectifier series but with the new ones I'd have no quarrel with taking one on tour as my main head. Sounds 1,000,000 fucking times better.

Here is a new review of the amp from Rob. There are bits and pieces of lead licks from a few different guitars throughout the vid but he only uses a strat when doing the bulk of the review. Initially they go through the amp with everything set at noon and then they use pretty heavy attenuation...

pretty much.

It's harder to flatter an amp than it is to disgrace one on youtube. I recommend checking it out in person. When I say it can do metal-- I don't mean it can do metal if you happen to have emgs, you boost it, tweak it for a few weeks and sacrifice a goat on a mountaintop-- I mean I dig bands...
