So, after having used these year after year in various recording situations I find other cabs, namely the Rectifier Standard/Oversize cab to be vastly superior.
I was using a Mesa Traditional with a Triple Rectifier today, fantastic world-class quality recording gear and quite honestly none of the tones were to my liking. This cab seems to accentuate the 2 things I hate most about guitar tones. Namely:
1) Fizz.
2) Muddy/boxy low mids.
It is so hard to pull a good raw sound with these things as they require so much post processing to get right after the fact. I spent a good 2 hours or so pulling tones, but was never 100% satisfied, whereas my last exploit with a Mark IV and Mesa Oversize was a verrrry different story....
Anyone with me?
