Hi fellas: My setup is stereo and is essentially: Ibanez RG 7 string > TriAxis > VHT2502 > Behringer BG412S. Among these equipment, various pedals and rack units are inserted in the signal path. So far, I am satisfied with this setup. However, I imagine in my mind that I could get a...
Hi fellas: I have got the opportunity to get a Mesa Tremoverb 2x12 in excellent condition for a pretty good price. I like the Tremoverb, there is no doubt. However, I haven't tried the Rectifier Recording Preamp to compare. Nevertheless, I have a TriAxis based rack setup now, and think...
Dear brothers of seven string guitars! I would like to invite you to a packed hard rock show, in which my band, Decima (MySpace.com - Decima - New York, New York - Rock / Metal - www.myspace.com/decimaband), will be performing 6 new songs. The show will have 3 bands (Decima, Telesma, and...
I had that plan too, especially with patch cables in my rack and pedal board. However, $10 for one foot patch cable is too expensive for me. I ordered some from sweetwater for half the price, instead. Of course, the materials are different, but until I make money out of music, these should do.
Bayou Audio Cables are great. I got speaker cables from Butch. He builds the cables by himself, and he uses quality materials. I would have bought instrument cables from him, but I decided to give Redco Audio a try.
Hi folks: My band and I are going to record an EP in May. I was wondering, if I should replace the tubes in my TriAxis and VHT2502. The tubes in both units have been used for about two years, at least 200 hours total roughly. I think, the preamp tubes are fine. What I have started to...
I think, the DC series sounds like mark series amp with a hint of recto voicing--the treble crunch and bass response. The clean channel is bright and a bit snappy sounding, and the distortion is just nasty. It can also sound close to a rectoverb--both in clean and distortion. However, its...
I have the Boss equivalent, which is DE-200. The Boss unit, at least, is a great digital delay unit that has an analog touch in the feedback. It dulls the high end frequency of your signal a bit, but I can tolerate it. It has three outputs: direct, mix, and inverted mix. My setup is in...
Yes, thicker strings would help. I tune to Ab for my 7th, and use .70 gauge. I'm thinking of getting a .72. For the rest, I use EB Beefy or Not Even Slinky.
Hi fellas, I am curious to know how you use the resonance/depth control on your amp. I have a TriAxis with VHT2502 setup, and have the resonance control around 2 p.m. I tried increasing it to 3 p.m., and got bassier and more authoritative bass thump, but clarity seems to be sacrificed...
I have never compared a regular DR or Triple Rectifier and a Rectoverb directly. Nevertheless, the Rectoverb is a very nice rectifier amp. I would have bought it to use with my TriAxis setup, if I had had the money. Nice bass thump with aggressive crunch. Of course, it depends on how you...
Ah, thanks for the replies! I know that John Petrucci used a Mark preamp into 2:100. Currently, I am using a TriAxis with VHT2502 (EL34L) in stereo into one 4x12. The VHT is pretty much natural sounding, and I got that cranked at 2 o'clock in rehearsals :shred: :hbang: . Now, I am just...
Is the power amp section really the key of the mesa rectifier tone? I read that that is the case a few times. And by "rectifier tone," I mean the sponginess and the "wide" sound of a rectifier amp.
The website and the manual mentioned that you can bypass the amp simps. What I like about this DigiTech unit is that it has the octave stompbox modellers, but MXR Blue Box is not included though.
