Trading for a Powerball?? Really?

Too bad you're in Canada and i'm in Poland.


Acctualy... i think you should keep the recto, and definitly don't trade it for powerball.

Maybe the prices in Canada decieve you, but here the Powerball is 2,5x cheaper then a triple recto... doesn't add up at all

 

[Jaymz]

Trading a triple rectifier for a powerball is like trading in your 10" cock for a 3"er, you just don't want!!!

 

[Dylan S]

Not only that, but I would hardly consider it a fair trade. The Recto is one of the best amps ever made (imo) and the Powerball...isn't...

 

[Auroras]

over here the powerball and savage are about the same price , reason iwanna trade it is one wise its just not cutting it for recording i cant get it close to some recordings i've heard other people on hear do other amp such as the mark 4 came out perfect when i've recorded other demos for friends mabey you guys could help me out or shell have to go

 

[AHChris]

lol powerball for recto...

We need Lasse in here! Right now!!!!!!1!!1

I wouldn't trade it because you cant get the sound you heard others get from it, as the reality is you will probably find the same with your next amp. I would kill for a triple rec, but over here its about 2700 euro, where a powerball is 1300! If you do need that ENGL sound, go for the savage. I was all set on a powerball until I read the reviews here and I ran away from it so fast. I wouldn't be too keen to trade that rectifier though, it may be a decision you regret from what I've heard about them.

the powerball isnt on the top of the list im more interested in the vht amps and the cobra i forgot to mention the savage as well ill take that before a pb

 

[xFkx]

Dunno...

If you have problems recording the recto, you'll have even bigger problems recording the cobra, just my 2 cents

Maybe go for a 6505 + Mesa oversized cab

That's a combination that has been used in a shitload of records and always sounds great

Good decision! The recto and savage are my dream amps! Hope it works out for you mate

+1, or pick up a used 5150. That might also go really well with the recto and they are relatively cheap out your way

 

[Lasse Lammert]

Savage is a pretty cool amp....
Powerball is worse than cancer though.

pity you aren't in Europe, I'd have some amps for you to trade.
but hinestly...I'd say spend some more time with the Recto and work on your recording skills instead...besides the 6505/5150 the Recto is one of the very best amps for recording

Recto = awesome, don't get rid of it

 

[Auroras]

My problem is that I'm having trouble with getting the amp the to punch its terrible saggy in the highs nd high mids it's not because of gain is to high have the gain at 3-4 sometimes 5 and i try to keep thje volume at 5 while recording currently don't have a tube screamer heres a list of the gear im using

Art Tubefire8 firewire interface
Shure SM57
Shure Brothers Model-777s *Vintage sure from 50s-60s mabey early 70's
Unkown mic

Guitar
Esp/LTD mh-1000 FR with 81 in the bridge and 85 in the neck battery is less then 3 weeks old

cab Mesa Recto Oversized with V30s

Where am i going wrong?
i've recorded a mark 4 with this same gear and it came out awesome

 

[MarcusGHedwig]

No Tube Screamer? The difference the pedal makes with those amps is like night and day IMO - red channel, modern, diodes/bold, Treb 12:00-1:00, Mid 9:30-10:00, Bass 11:00, Pres 10:00-11:00, Gain to taste, worlds should be destroyed

 

[Auroras]

We'll i just spent approximatly 1k just so i could buy my recording gear sm57,arttubefire and new computer new computer took a huge chuck of the money that could of went to monitors and more mics Im going to try new tubes if i can afford it and a tube screamer if that doesnt work this offer is still on the table for now i see that theres a huge diffrence in recordings and i can get a tone out this beast then I'll keep her .

There seems to be alot of love for the rectos around here when i was talking with an engineer he told me they were terrible hard to record Hardcore and Progressive stuff with :s seems a bit confussing

 

[MarcusGHedwig]

Just grab a $40 TS7 dude (see this thread), and as for Recto hate, it's one thing to say you're not a fan of the character of their distortion, but anyone who says they're terrible and hard to record shouldn't be blaming the amp

 

[Chryst Krispies]

This thread brings lulz. Get a tubescreamer and hold onto the recto like death awaits you.

 

[Auroras]

The only reason this became such a big deal is because i listed powerball as one of the trades it seems to have sparked outrage i'll post of clip up of what I'm talking about in a few abit
