They can be pretty good. The quality on some are questionable but you can get them “fixed” for long hard use. Watch olas video on how he sets it up pretty much dead on. Boost of course and a gate really make it jump out at you. I toured with 2 still have them. I have the plus model like my waist...
Killer amp, Congrats brother. Go to the mark 7 mode on channel two but crank the Mid's to 100 percent like you would treble on the c+ channel. Adjust the other to taste, Its built differently and you get more of a recto gain type thing out of it that way. This amp has so many cool things.
Love...
I find it funny after all these years how pricing, market value and the in factor change peoples perception of things. The rev g at the time 20 plus years ago ish if you weren’t a 7 string nu metal guy represented everything most recto haters disliked in that revision. Bottom end loose, fizzy...
I'm use this and the mini! It Last's with abuse, doesn't die on the road and no tone or noise issues. Plus for an old blind Mofo I can see it.
The waza craft is my second.
Congrats brother! crank that master on the VH4 over 1 oklock And let it ride two sweet presents !! enjoy and of course you need to try them together for sheer slut factor!
I feel bad for people who have experienced bad deals with trace. I Dealt with him and his late wife multiple times never an issue always responsive and like another user said I went there and had some tweaks done. 3 pre 500 rectos, 5150ii a few Marshalls through the years even tried a diezel...
With the new slo pre amp coming out I’m really looking at synergy to put together a killer “mono stereo” rack setup. Classic slo mixed style mixed with a synergy modern on the other side of the poweramp. Maybe utilizing a fryette 290 or one of the big mesa’s
There was a recent video with Mike Soldano and Dave Friedman on tone talk. The recto pre-amp is an exact copy of the slo-100. Including some odd ball stuff. The 5150 to my understanding isn’t.
There ya go. I have some in old guitars if I get the time I’ll take an 80 90 and 2000s and see what’s up. There’s a guy somewhere who did this research online I just forgot who.
This seems to be the question that deserves some research. I do find the newer ones meaning from last two years alot better then 2008-2013's ?? But who knows i have had success with mid to late 90's stuff too. its tough cause the company doesn't give you too much info
I agree with you The Rohs Laws suck lol The older Emgs are def better. I find they originals sound better the bottom end bigger and less compressed they give the impression of a bigger Chugg and the top is less fizzy I feel the fundamental of the top is better on old ones.
There is a few older...
