I have been lucky with Gibson I guess, have bought several sight unseen and they are great. I only had one dud and that was the turd produced in 2015..the great debacle.
My core group all have a very lively feel, they almost jump out of your hands when you play them due to great resonance...
Thanks.
Well, today it is pretty easy/affordable to have amazing recording gear ( untill you step up to external hardware and go down the studio mic rabbit hole.....lol).
That is what I like about it, enough low-end for my playing, without any flub.
Also more than enough gain for me.
I can tell this amp will record very well, just like my Silver Jubilee.
No I have not owned a Recto before, almost bought a few in the last 6 months though. I have owned a Mark V 90watt, A Royal Atlantic 100 watt, and an Electradyne.
The Badlander comes stock with el34 power tubes, but you can run 6L6 as well. Mine is 50 watts so (2) el34 and (5) 12ax7.
Briefly played the amp for a half hour or so tonight, all I can say is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love it, love it, love it!
Tight as fuck. More than enough gain for me. Ran a SD-1 into it.....prefer the amp without boost.
Clean and crunch sound great....I can see I am going to have trouble...
My Mark V went bye by. Most unreliable amp I have ever owned. It was versitile though.
I'll give the Vadlander a go, like I say I have a bunch of Marshalls that are my main noise makers.
