Working on some promo material for my new hair metal / hard rock cover band. Had our first show recently. How's it sound to you guys? I'm in the blonde wig playing a DSL100 into a pair of mid 80s JCM800 cabs, and the other guitarist is running a 2205 into a newer 1960AV cab.

The 70s Reissue LPC (made in the USA shop)? I can tell it's a USA guitar and not a Custom shop guitar, that said, I really like it. It sounds WAY different than other LPCs we've compared it to, they really nailed the 70s rock tone. The neck is oddly thin for a LP, too. But I digress..

Yeah, in the next week I'll be doing a reamp of the HRG RI vs the OG C+, a JP2C and the Recto RI. I can't say which one you'd prefer, however the while the HRG RI is a damn fine C+ revision, they knocked the Recto RI out of the park.

This is all true. I can bring the presence on the OG up about +3 to get it in the brightness ballpark, but the RI has better grind than the (ultra smooth) OGs

From what I've been able to find out, yep.

Oh I forgot to mention- testing last night we both preferred the cleans on the RI. They're more snappy & punchy. If buttery & warm cleans are your thing you'd probably prefer the OG, and realistically there are better clean amps available if that's your thing.

Alright day 2 report- I jammed tonight with my other guitarist from my 80s band and his 2205 / 70s LPC rig. We put up the OG KRG C+ as well as the HRG RI against it while jamming out songs. I got some phone clips I'll work up and share as well. The full band mix is still a to do, and first...

Working on this, I know a local guy with a JP. My initial impressions are that if you're not using it to gig, RI all day long.

Haven't heard anything about that, and, I can't imagine why they would..? At any rate, better topic for this thread.

The DR RI is phenomenal. Can't recommend it enough. Word on the street is there's a Triple RI coming in ~January, but it'll be blackout and closer to $4K.

Yes, I've had B+, C+, C++ and III Colis. I still have the B+ & C+/++ one.

Got the HRG RI last night, first impressions are good. Wanted to start a thread to talk about it as well as post when I get the various comparo vids done that I'm planning. First some back story for those who don't know me, I've had 9 IIC+/++ of every iteration and 32 Marks in total. I have a...

Back in the C+ days Metallica was a 1 guitar band with no bass, nothing to compete with but drums! :ROFLMAO: Do think they were playing straight in with no pedal / PEQ / rack assistance? That said I do see the trend of the modern Boogies having more present mids than their vintage...

Clearly, it's the orange pilot light. :cool:

It's really about the feels & the headroom. Tonally, according to the microphone, they all sound the same- or as close as you can expect in amp to amp differences. In a nutshell the 60, 100 and 180W versions are all Class A/B Pentode which is fast and aggressive. The Simul versions of the...

I went back and forth on where this should go, and landed on "this is something every musician should hear" so I'm dropping it here. If the mods want to move it to OTC, so be it. That said, this was a FANTASTIC podcast that I'd recommend to any musician! I loved it way more than I expected to.

Being honest I've struggled for years to get a recorded tone out of Rectos that I was happy with. The MWs were better here for me than the OG 2ch, and this RI is smoking them all to my ear. Here's an example. This amp was devastating in the room, but sounded like this on the mic. (no mids no...

Alright the HRG RI is OTW! @frontline205 heads up if you want to come try it. I also know a local guy with a JP2C that he's gonna let me borrow to reamp against.

I had a fantastic Tverb and loved it at home. However, it was so so dark on stage (metal band).
