I had the original iRig. It was a piece of shit that bordered on a scam. I now have an Apogee Jam. Zero complaints. Works as advertised. Fuck iRig.

You left out the part where you called American's stupid on an American website, someone called you out on it, and then you told them to fuck off and have a happy new year.

I use a Dual Rectifier and 4x12. It has a master volume and I turn it down at night. Can't even hear it in my kids room. Beyond that, Les Paul, McCarty, Telecaster, univibe, wah, phase, chorus, POG and OD.

If anything, the 90s were a return to good songwriting. If you're looking for rock epics, November Rain and The Unforgiven come to mind. If you're looking for complex, Smashing Pumpkins and Dream Theater. Alice in Chains, Pantera, Guns 'n Roses, Janes Addiction, Tool, Red Hot Chilli Peppers...

I wonder if some time back in the mid-50s there was a group of over the hill jazz cats lamenting the death of bebop and how kids will never know what they're missing by listening to the dumbed down rock and roll shit they were hearing on the radio...

That's why I use strap locks on Gibsons. On guitars I can toss in a gig bag (aka, Fenders) there's no need because the strap never needs to come off.

I use them on Les Pauls because of where the button is on the horn. Haven't really needed them on other guitars. With Schallers I lock-tite the nut and put a but of grease in the cup, so I don't have the issues most complain about.

Vintage 30s. Specifically, the ones Mesa sells.

ES335 50s type Telecaster And for some reason I started thinking I might like a Firebird a few days ago...

Considering the way you're setting your amp, this manual may be interesting for you. In part because it's written for a serial loop, and if I remember correctly you've done the serial loop mod, and in part because you're dialling in low gain settings in the region the manual touches on.

My opinion will be biased as I don't particularly like boosting a Recto.

When it was designed everyone was using thin-necked Superstrats with Floyd Roses, tiny strings and overwound ceramic pickups. The low end helped fill those guitars out. Plug an EMG 81 into a Recto and there's no need to use an OD to emphasize the pick attack.

Try both. Keep doing whichever you like better. For what it's worth, whenever I found a setting I liked on an EQ in the loop I generally figured out a way to achieve something similar using the amp's own controls. Also, at the end of the day a Recto sounds like a Recto. I'd give it a week or...

Bypass the effects loop on the back. Put the channel master somewhere between 11:00 and 1:00. Put the gain somewhere between 11:00 and 1:00. Rectos need a certain amount of volume before they do their thing.

I'd get a Recto, but it wouldn't be my first choice if clarity was a defining characteristic of what I was looking for.

It's mainly because of California law. Unless every part of every component is of US origin they can't label it as Made in USA and sell it in California without risking a lawsuit, so if the chassis is stamped out of aluminum in America that was dug out of the ground and processed into sheet...

and they sound like Rectos.

This sums up my opinion.

I think the non-mixing is due to 10w mode using 1 tube from the inner pair and 1 tube from the outer pair. Rumor was mixing tubes could damage the OT. I have an early Mark V where it explains how to mix tube types in the manual... They quickly deleted that part in later editions. Makes me...
