    Mesa OS dislike?

    Your clip sounds great to me. I don't notice anything unclear about the high end. The mesa OS cab works great with the recto series and peavey 5150's. Other than those heads, you are probably better off going with a regular size cab. From my observations, Mesa Os cabs add low mid grind...

    same advice from me, chinese all the way. maybe a tung sol on v1 if you prefer it brighter. jj pres will make you want to sell your amp

    Diezel Herbert Clip

    Interesting. Sounds like an early rev g triple recto in the highs and lows but with 5150 voiced mids.

    New tubes for my 6505

    ^ This. All chinese tubes are the same. they could be labeled, penta, Sino, Ruby, Groove tubes 12ax7c, etc. They are the same tube. Mine say "china 12ax7b" and they sound glorious. Same advice goes for Mesa rectos. Chinese all the way in the preamp and power section. Mesa branded 6l6's...

    New tubes for my 6505

    ruby in the power section for sure and chinese for the pre's. The preamp section was designed around chinese pre amp tubes, so it will sound best with them.

    Colin Richardson 5153 profile vs lasse 5153

    I prefer Lasse's. Maybe because of the mesa cab?

    Would you trade a new 6505 for a 1999 2ch dual rec?

    a new 6505 and a rev g dual are worth around the same. you can get a rev g dual for $799 used from guitar center. I prefer the 6505 out of the two. Easier to dial and sits better in the mix. rev f or a rev g triple are a different story though. I would take those in a heartbeat over the...

    EMG 81 vs 81TW

    Surprisingly, I prefer the 81x. More headroom. is this the same as having an 81 with the 18 volt mod?

    Kemper vs Mesa BLIND TEST

    I thought the mesa was the green. OOPS. Ridiculous accuracy. Any comments on the feel of the kemper vs the mesa?

    I once reformated my computer with SD2 installed and was able to use the same authorization that I had before. I would assume that ezdrummer is the same way.
