SS... bleh. I prefer tube. I remember before I used tubes, how I thought nothing could really be better than my SS. Then I got my tube amp... I couldn't really hear the difference at the time, but I loved the "feel". Then after playing that for a lot of clean & distortion for about 5 months...

Both are amazing guitars. One of them though is going to be just a little bit better for you. Personally, between your choices, I'd go for a Universe. But I've been looking for a Universe because it's what's best for me. I already have a mohogany 7-string, I'd like a basswood 7 (Universe)...

Obviously the guitar in that pic is the leather-cancer one. And I'm 99.999% positive those pickups are PAF-7s. Not only do they look like the PAF-7s from a normal K-7, but I've specifically seen Munky state in an interview "it is a custom shop K-7. all i changed up was the neck, and the body...

Yeah, that sound quality wasn't too great. Only thing I could clearly make out was the drums... couldn't tell there was a bassist playing... and your guitar sounded like it was a mile away. But regardless, it's cool to see vids instead of listening to recorded MP3s sometime. :) And your...

I'm pretty sure the guitar in that pic is the leather-cancer one. I haven't seen him using another guitar on tour in a long while. But... looking at that pic, those pickups definately look to be PAF-7s to me (note the color is identical to the pickups on a K-7 ;) ).

I'm pretty sure he was using his leather guitar for that (has the cancer "69" neck inlay). That guitar has PAF-7s in it (the guitar is a custom K-7 with a different neck inlay & the leather-bound body). The PAF-7 is a low output pickup, so it's going to typically sound crunchier than say, an...

lol... I've seen that same inlay on another knock off... must be the same scam artist. I feel sorry for any idiot that buys it. :(

Damn that sucks. Never had the problem myself. I think I've heard of similar happening to other people with their poweramps, and I'm pretty sure the only damage is to the fuse. Replace the fuse, make sure to run it behind a power conditioner or such, and it should all work great. However, I...

The recording outputs of the Recto Pre are wired TRS. No mention is noted for the live outputs, so I assume those are probably just TS. You can use instrument cable for the rack stuff, it won't hurt anything (though it may slightly flavor your tone in one or another). I prefer using patch...

The 2:50 should be nice. However, the modern mode of the Recto Pre will not be the same running through it. In a Dual Rectifier, when you switch to modern mode, negative feedback is removed in the poweramp section. With the Recto Pre & 2:100, when you switch to modern, the Pre sends a signal...

Congrats! :cheers: I'm browsing through the manual for your Presonus Firepod right now. The Recto Pre outputs at professional line level (+4dBu). If you plug it in to a "consumer" level input (-10dBv), the sound is going to be horrible, because it is going to be clipping like-f'ing-crazy when...

Hmm, and you ran the inputs at +4dBu (and not -10dBv)? Most people who ditched the Recto Pre because they couldn't find their tone were running it into -10dBv recording systems, or were too impatient to tinker with it. :D You already got some nice guitars, so add a new amp! An amp will do a...

I've heard of some people ditching the Recto Pre, not being satisfied with it. But I like it for direct recording. Really, you have to tweak the hell out of the settings to get the tone you're after (like any other Mesa product). I've had mine almost a year now, and I'm only just now about...

Damn Zimbloth... you have the only two 7's I want. I already have the K-7, want to send over that Universe? :D I love my guitar. Though $1,400 or so is a good deal of money, I honestly don't say it's overpriced. After owning & playing it as long as I have, I'd definately say it was worth...

Ditto. Lo-Pro all the way! :D

You really haven't mentioned any price ceiling, so I suppose you're just looking to see everything that's out there. Lots of lower-cost options have already been covered, so here's some higher end options. My suggestions.... Mesa Boogie Recto Pre Amazing unit. A little pricey at ~$1,200...

There's some great pics in here. I like all the blinking lights :D ^Only have power conditioner on. ^Shot with room lights on. The only thing that lights up & blinks in my rack right now is a compressor. Lots of room left in my rack for more gear, just waiting for the $$$ to purchase it...

jakeskylyr, Did you buy the MPX1 new, or used? If you're really looking to dump it, I might be interested in acquiring, lol... TC Electronics are great. I got to use a few at family-friend's studio, and they were amazing. As a result, I'm now looking to acquire their Fireworx, M4000 studio...

I have a 2x12 Recto cab. It comes wired with one input (8ohm---obviously mono). I talked to a tech at a small guitar place who fixed my 2:100, and he said he'd be able to set my cab up similar to how you want (3 inputs total; mono at 8ohm; stereo at 4ohm each). The guy definately knew what he...

What made you ditch the MPX1? I've been looking into them lately. I have a huge list... I wish I had more $$$. :( Not in perfect order, but damn close: - Ibanez RG20062 (ooo! puzzle!) [yeah right, I hear only 2 were made :(] - Ibanez Universe (current, UV777BK) and/or a black/green one - BBE...
