Triple Dual and Solo rec

[EtherForBreakfast]

The trip and dual are just not needed - I dont need that much power.

Been thinking about the solo 50 head.

Can anyone give me a real world opinion on the little guy?

I worked with it yesterday for a live show. Had the master set to 9 o'clock. 'Nuff said, hehe. Go for it!

I have a Single Solo 50, and it happily compete's with my other guitarist's dual rec. Until, that is, he turns his up to silly o'clock. I atually think it has more character than the dual rec, it just seems a lot smoother. Each to their own i guess though.

Smalex - what about in terms of lead tones? Which voicing do you generally prefer?

My fave lead amp right now is my Marshall JCM900 SL-X 2500 - it's just tone factory. I use a Krank rev1 for chunk/rhythm.

That lil' mesa has me very intrigued, but I'm going to have to buy one "deaf" because no one around here carries that model. Looks like a smokin price for a used one is about $650 (the lowest price ive seen one close at on ebay).

Also, the palm mutes, does the amp stay TIGHT, or does the ass end tend to get a bit flabby?

I think it'd sound great with your Krank! You could do some mean recordings with your Marshall, Krank, and Mesa all mixed together.

Which record Neil (if you don't mind me asking)?

 

[EtherForBreakfast]

Yes, Neil. Which album?

Actually im a big fan of the single. I do like it better than the duals.

 

[Sinister Mephisto]

Wow! this is very cool. I never even considered a single before. I'll have to go try one out sometime.

I have the older version, which has 2 voicings on each channel. The clean i keep on clean, and the Dist. i keep on modern. Plam mutes are absolutely fine. I think they sound even bigger than on the dual. The dual always seems a bit too middy for me, and doesnt really have the oomph. Of course this is just my opinion though..
