Just got my cab from Brad yesterday, which is a new German build 412 front load with all V30's. It is one of the bunch from the Diezel booth at the NAMM show.

I am running my Herbert (all KT88's) in the stereo side of each cab, the new one with all V30's, and the one I've had loaded with an X of V30's and K100's. On the other stereo side of each cab I am running my rev F Dual recto with a pair of KT88's and a pair of KT66's. In the rack is a Furman, G major 2, Voodoo lab pedal switcher, Maxon OD9, and an NS-2 (for now anyway). On the floor is a ground control pro that controls the Herbert, G major, and pedal switcher. The Herbert has the G major 2 through it's FX loop and it's my "wet" sound. The Recto is getting guitar->OD->NS2->amp and is dry.

I'm really liking the pedal switcher because I can now get my Maxon boost in the rack instead of on the floor and can now control it from my ground control through MIDI. I never liked having to turn the boost on or off, depending on what type of tone I wanted. Now, I have a patch for clean, clean boosted, crunch, crunch boosted, lead boosted. All with one touch. I am not missing the -/+ switch on ch2 at all now, fellow Herbert owners will understand.

The only problem I've got, is that with the pedal switcher, it only allows me to A/B two amps, but not run them in stereo at the same time. I still have to use a separate A/B/Y pedal to do that. The problem with that is turning either amps on or off is still not MIDI controlled, which is not acceptable. :D Thinking I might have to go with a GCX if I want full midi control. Any other ideas?
 
Did you order your Recto power tube set from

Unfortunately, I don't remember any tube values, but I was working with a local tech about a year ago and I approached him about the kit from Eurotubes. He ordered the KT's and checked the bias for me and said it was good to go. Again, I can't remember how hot the tubes were, or what he said the bias was with them in. I should have written it down. :doh:

I freakin love them. Tightened the amp WAY up, cuts like an SOB, and is just clear and huge sounding.
 
Yeah I guess they don't make the RG16 anymore. The replacement is pricey! I think I paid a little over $500 for my RG16. It works pretty good though.

I've thought about getting the y not as well. I have to use one of my effects loops to be able to a b y my amps.
 
You sir have a wonderful taste in gear!
My dual rec got the kt66/kt88 combo too, this helps the amp a lot to show it's potential!
 
KT88s.... DAAAAYUMMMM!! :rock: :rock: :rock:

You must like it loud, huh?? :lol: :LOL:

Sweet rig - now light that scene up, man :yes:
