GREAT AMP OR GREATEST AMP? (2 ch. Recto content)

[Metaltastic]

Nothing to say - this amp is incredible. Here's a pic of settings (notice how different they are between the channels):

Here's a pic of my parents living room where I recorded it (notice the cables snaking up to my room, and yes, I dragged Rufus in for the pic No WAY was he gonna be sitting there when the amp was roaring! )

And of course, here's a link to a .zip file with 3 mp3's - one of both tracks on the Red channel, one of both on Orange, and my favorite, one with Red Left and Orange right. I used my Ibanez Prestige RGA321F with an EMG85 in the bridge, and of course the trusty TS7 to tighten it up (however, there is some post-eq, specifically a 4 db cut at 720 Hz to get rid of the cocked-wah sound of the TS7 - besides that, though, totally raw!) Enjoy!

And as far as I'm concerned, Peavey can officially go screw itself

Man, really wanna hear these but the zip is just 2 DI's?

 

[Unavailable]

That zip only had the two DI wav tracks.

Edit: Beat by a minute.

 

[Metaltastic]

Hahahaaha, whoops, retard alert - linked to the wrong file! Should be fixed now

Dude..first I wanna say. I LOVE MESA !!! I use the recti 4x12 in combination with a Marshall Jvm.

Sounds good! Mesa does rule the roost, here is a clip I posted earlier today with my recto just to hammer in the fact of how good these amps really are in this thread, second link http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/andy-sneap/457100-framus-dragon-speaker-shootout.html

I soo wish I had that cab! Looks/sounds awesome, oh and your dog is so sweeet!!

Felix, do you use the oversized or traditional? I have an oversized and love it.

Sounds nice Marcus. I dig the combination clip the best, and the orange mode alone. I really want to find me a Racktifier...that's another amp on my list.

Hahahaha, nice? Come on Joe, this is the greatest tone I've ever recorded! Thanks though dude, and the Racktifier is IDENTICAL to mine btw (just usually more expensive on ebay )

Thanks for the compliments on Rufus dude, I'll be sure to tell him And I commented on your thread, cuz it made me all the more certain that mic'ing one of the two bottom speakers is the way to go in a slant cab! And btw, I got mine for $600

 

[Felix Neumann]

What a great tone is that ?!! The first file I like the most, but damn..this sound is really THE SHIT. Congrats for this, dude AWESOME !!

Hi Joe, nice to see ya I use the oversized and I love it, too!

 

[J.DavisNJ]

Do you have a bass dude?? I've love to hear it with a bass track too.

Haha yeah I love dogs

Damn that is a good price!!!! Love the silver edges, never see many of those "armour" Mesa cabs around. I hope to snag one someday for a decent price. Bottom speakers seem the way to go!

 

[Cacoph0ny]

Nice.. Let's hear it in a full mix

 

[Metaltastic]

Thanks a lot Felix, I appreciate it! I spent a fair amount of time tweaking the settings, but I'd say the ends justified the means!

No can do, unfortunately, but a bass is on my list of things to buy!

Well actually, it's not "armored," but rather just all-silver tolex, which is an option you can get from the factory (it adds to the cost, of course, but that's what's so great about buying used! )

 

[Jaymz]

Armored being the ones Petrucci uses with the diamond plated sides However your silver still looks badass, first ive seen actually.

 

[LSD-Studio]

old 2ch recto= definitely greatest amp ever

 

[ffaudio]

I had a racked version, the knobs were a bit different, but it was a black face plate. Finest amp I ever owned. Had balls the size of Jupiter.

 

[cobhc]

Sounds nice Marcus, though I'm not sure I'd say it's an amazing tone, it seems a little on the thin side (although that may be due to a lack of bass). Nice playing though dude.

 

[RockGuitarX]

Bad ass clips man! Thanks again for sharing. It's always a pleasure to hear some tasty Mesa clips from the Mesa Master. Again, I'm digging that orange channel. LOL ffaudio, I was gonna mention something about the knobs looking different with those pointers. I've never seen those on the 2-Channel model.
