i should add that this is only for studio recording, not live applacations.

I've never heard one recorded, which means I trust no one who praises them that doesn't have clips to back it up, but on paper it doesn't seem like a good recipe for a good recorded tone (since the speakers are designed for EXTREME headroom, I'd think they'd be very hi-fi sounding, meaning not rounding off the highs in a good way like a more colored Celestion or lower-wattage Eminence would do). But I'm always open to be proven wrong!

i just recorded one but cant release any files ....best non vintage 30 cab ive recorded in a long time... were hoping to pick up a sponsorship from them here real soon been taking to them for a minute....

There's some dude selling one here for $550 and I was wondering if they sounded good recorded as well. If anyone has clips, pleeeease post!

 

[Metaltastic]

Psshh, $550 is a used Recto cab price, game over!

 

[Sloan]

That's what I was thinking too. I don't actually have any money, but I think about this stuff all the time , as if i did have it.

 

[Metaltastic]

Hahaha, yeah, I can relate

 

[Melodeath]

Oh man. That's my biggest gear issue. I research and differentiate between expensive gear, as if I had the money for any of it.

I used two Vader cabs for a tour about a year ago and hated every minute of it haha, but that was with my Roadster. I used one not too long ago with my 5150 and it slayed. In the end......I still love my oversized Recto cab more.

perhaps ill scour craiglist for a recto.

 

[Metaltastic]

You should have no trouble finding one in great shape for over $500, they're EVERYWHERE (well, in the US anyway, bwahahahahhaahahahahaha, god I never get tired of doing that )

Haha, don't forget the Aussies! This forum gives me such a wonderful opportunity to build (and then promptly torch) bridges with my peers abroad
