IIC+ HRG RI (..and DR RI) in the hizzouse!

[Jakem]

The RI sounds great!

 

[mentoneman]

appreciate your dedication to the boogie mark series!

Great right up and beautiful amps man

 

[GJgo]

So the HRG the highest wattage version of this amp they’re going to make?

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

 

[Tone Monster]

Great test vid. Thx.

 

[CrystalSky]

Happy NAD man

Sounds good. When the guy was playing the GnR lead I could hear the HRG a little better. The amp seems a little brighter and grinding than the OG. Better upper mids, like you said. Both sound excellent though.

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

Do you have a comparison vid between the RI c+ and the RI Recto? Obviously I know they are different amps with different core sounds, but there's no way I would ever try both in this universe

You know well i'm not really a "mesa guy" but these new RIs seem my best opportunity to get a good representation of the classic mesa sound for a reasonable money, and I'm kind of debating which would work for me best

I'm leaning towards the C+ reissue as i've always hated the low end on rectos, but if the reissue recto is as tight as the early revisions that might change the math for me
