    if you had to choose between a Dual Recto or 6505+, what would it be?

    It's important to conform as much as humanly possible to the sonic status quo. That said, you should be using an ESP guitar with EMG 81s into a Peavey 5150 into an OS Mesa mic'd with a SM57 only. This is the only acceptable tone for modern metal.

    Have you thought of trying a bass cab?

    YT: Demoing the Dual Rec's Orange channel, plus V30's vs CL80 shootout

    On it's own, I thought the v30 didn't sound very good, but was really impressed by how good the combined tone sounded. Have you tried other speaker combos in this cab?

    Gibson 2015 prices!

    $4K-$6K for a new LP?!? I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

    Axe FX II XL vs. 2203 KK and SM57 vs. 906

    I thought the first tone sounded best.

    Boss HM-2 style Plugin?

    Lol. "All Pigs Must Die." Don't you know Douglas P's banned in Lausanne. That fair city in Switzerland.

    Cabinet Impulse Response (IR) Plugins shootout!

    Does the clip sound like it's going in and out of tune to anyone else?

    Received my Celestion V-type (clipz)

    They seem really even sounding. Usually, there's something that sticks out on a tone clip, but these seem really so well balanced bass/mid/high-wise that I can't find anything to complain about. And yes, make some IRs now please. :)

    Laney IRT Ironheart Studio thoughts?

    I wasn't a big fan of the tones gotten on those demos, but the unit does seem like it offers a very good value for the price when you consider what you're getting. It would be interesting to hear how the Laney pres sound in relation to those on a higher end interface.

    ADA MP-1 Tone Test

    I run my ADA MP-1 through an oversized 1X12 and am very happy with the tone I get. As for the running pedals in front, I've used several, but always seem to comeback to the an Ibby TS9, although I've had good results with a Digitech Valve Distortion as well.

    ADA MP-1

    http://adadepot.com/index.php I have one of these and like them very much. Setting-wise, I like to set both ODs to 10, bass around 6-ish, mids -6-ish, treble 6-ish. I also found putting a tube screamer in front of it helps to really tighten up the bottom end as well.

    250, 500, 1K Vol Pots?

    Thanks. Maybe switching out to some 1K pots might be just the ticket.

    250, 500, 1K Vol Pots?

    Do a volume pot swaps significantly alter guitar tones?
