LMAO!!!!!!!

Yeah the volume knob settings are not for the bedroom

I have no issues with the amount of knobs

How does that oil tank sound?

That was used in the Lexicon labs to create the canyon reverb algorhythm, piece of history right there mister.

This is where they got the term adding a bit of grease to your sound lol

Looks... massive!

Can you you give us the low down on the tone of each channel? What's it sound like??

If it sounds as massive as it looks then it's gotta be a monster!!

It is MASSIVE sounding IMHO.

Im going by memory but

Channel 1 is a clean but it is voiced with more of a scooped sound. It has that deep rich bass and glassy top end sort of sound and it sound killer.

Channel 2 is clean but adds more midrange.

Channel 3 is voiced just like the Bones. It starts getting into gainland but just a bit of gain not firebreathing gain lol.

Channel 4 is also voiced like the Bones and pretty much picks up where channel 3 left off. This can get pretty heavy.

Channel 5 is the Meatheads own voicing and gets into saturated gainland. You can crank the gain on 10 and it wont mush out.

Channels 6 is another Gain channel voiced specifically for the Meathead and picks up where 5 left off.


This is just a brief overlook and I'll let Mike chime in. All I know is that every channel kills and you can dial in just about anything that you can think of plus each channel has a 3 way toggle switch that can either add or subtract gain and 3 way toggle switch for brightness etc etc.

it's a killer sounding amp with a very clever design and no shortcuts were used on any of the channels and even the transformers were specifically designed for the amp. You can crank the volume on 10 and the amp will still remain tight. Killer!!

That comes with the Deluxe mod package with the built in cooler

This amp only makes sense with MIDI and a killer sounding loop!

Mikes Jedi Mind trick wont work on me anymore. Im tryint to stay strong. What I mean is that last time that focker sent me an amp I was on the phone with him the next day making plans to have him mod all my amps

so having him loan me that focker wont happen.....NO REALLY must resist!

 

[Digital Jams]

On a Serious note about the amount of knobs, this coming from a n00b's point of view,

The layout is very easy and logical, each channel has it's own row of your basic controls and is simular to the JVM but to quote Mike he has his design in 2005 so no he was not taking anything from Marshall

 

[PentatonicPunk]

Meathead looks pretty sweet! But I think the Bones is more my speed. Too many knobs make me dizzy. Now if I can only sell my OD-100 se+ hmmm...

Hmmm guess that means it makes sense then

 

[degenaro]

good lord is that necessary?

Probably what people said when the recto first came out

necessary no.....cool as hell and sounds amazing? YES!!

Not that I know the first thing about what sells in MI...
but the first Rectos has what 2 rows of controls consisting of about 6 knobs each plus the loopmaster...so 13 knibs compared to....

Dude, clips or it sounds like a pod through laptop speakers!

 

[killertone]

I have been thinkig about ditching the idea of Mike modding one of my Marshalls and getting a Natas. Not sure which way to go so I need to talk to Mike again. Something about those modded Marshall clips, though...they just sound so killer.

That's pretty much what Im doing at this point. One of the ideas I had was for Mike to mod another one of my amps but after thinking about it, Im definitely getting a NATAS instead because it's pretty much going to do what the mod would and more....Much more!.
Im still having the Cali mod done and hopefully a custom job provided Mike has the time but that's where Im calling it a day with the mods. The NATAS will more then likely be my Fortin production amp!! Gotta represent yo!!
