If I deleted my post, MarcusGHedwig would've been calling Ermz a dick instead of me. Seemed kind of a dick move. That's kind of my point. This isn't really a fair comparison either. It fails to demonstrate the strengths of either cab. All it does is demonstrate what each cab can sound...

Nevermind. Don't feel like rocking the boat...

I'm not sure if this thread better serves as a Mesa vs Blackstar thread... ...or a demonstration of what each cab can sound like when mic'd sub-par.

I don't even know how to order one... although if I had the money, I'd probably find a way.

I'm going to repost that one on some other forums when EMG clipping comes up.

Do you have room to fit a second battery? Bumping them up to 18v will increase the onboard preamp's headroom, which in turn cuts a bit of the compression.

$400 seems a little high for a used Recto 2x12. I'd try to talk him down to $350.

What's recommended for an interface? I don't need anything fancy... I'm only looking to record practices and lay down ideas. However, I would like something that would let me mic my cab as well as let me DI a guitar or bass in when travelling.

Cool. I picked up the basic 15" MB Pro. I wanted the 13" because it was both smaller and cheaper, but they were sold out and I was suffering from a bad case of being impatient. I didn't realize these things came with Garage Band built in. That's kind of cool I guess, although I've never used...

I'm thinking about getting a MacBook for recording on the road. Is a regular MacBook powerful enough? Or should I look at one of the MacBook Pros? Also, should I get it with Logic pre-loaded? Or is there a better option (I'm a noob when it comes to recording)?

I used to use 13-70 (wound 3rd) in C#. I was on a big strings = big tone kick at the time. It worked fine, but bending was a chore.

I have a Roadster and an early 2 channel (Rev F w/ the Mark III transformers). I like the Roadster better. The Roadster solves a couple of issues I have with my 2 channel... 1) I think Vintage sounds better with the tube rectifier while Modern sounds better with the diode rectifier. On...

Isn't the Roadster 2x12 identical to the Stiletto 2x12 with the exception of the colour of the piping? If so, that should open up some options to you.

The only SLO user in Metal I can think of is Matt Pike (High on Fire), although his tone is probably not what many other metal players would be interested in.

Based on the UK price tags I'm going to guess that the list has a Euro slant to it. It may be why there's two H&Ks on the list while Bogner and Soldano are nowhere to be seen. I also noted that the Dual Rectifier is the most expensive amp on that list, being a few hundred pounds more than the...
