I just picked up a 3 channel Triple Recto myself. Can I get details on that mod? Thanks!

I saw Tantric at a club in Lafayette, LA when the first album came out and the guitarest used a clean/dirty tone blend live. It looked like a Fender Twin and a Rectifier. When he used a clean tone, both amps stayed clean and when he when to a dirty tone, just the Rectifier switched but the...

I did pick up the Baby Bomb and it is pretty loud. Doesnt sound bad with my XT Live either. But ultimately I picked up a Mesa Fifty/Fifty poweramp.

I use a Boss GE7 in the effects loop of my Mark IV for this exact thing. When I go into a solo I kick on the effects loop and I have the EQ set to bring the volume up a little and it works perfectly.

This works really well. I use a Boss GE7 on my Single Recto and also used it on the MW Dual I had. And the clean stays clean so no tap dancing. Just leave it on.

Looking for a poweramp solution to run my Pod X3 Live into with a 2x12 Recto cab for home practice or small gigs. I am currently running it through my Mesa Mark IV power section temporarily to dial in tones. I am open to any/all options up to about $600 US. So far the Powerstage is very high...

I guess I could clarify by saying not necessarily “boosting” the tone but tightening up the overdrive channels while the clean tone remains clean.

Ok, I have a Boss GE7 I could try. I guess something like a TC Spark mini boost would be too much then?

I have done a little searching but couldnt find specifically what I am looking for. Is there a clean boost that I can leave on that will tighten up, lets say, a Rectifier without distorting the clean tone. Like a leave on all the time kind of thing. Thanks.

I ran the 33 into a Mark IV and yes, it cuts a ton of bass. IMHO, you really have to be going for that sound. It wasnt very versatile. I own a EVH 50w and I can see where it would do the same to that amp. On the other hand, I bought the Blade and love it.

In the band I am in now I just dial the gain back on the lead channel to kind of act like a better version of the crunch channel, then kick on the Blade for a solo boost or to act as a third higher gain channel. Then as a volume boost for solos, I run a boss EQ in the loop set with a slight...

I got mine in a couple weeks ago. I use it with my Mesa Mark IV. I had the 33 and still own the Grind but found they both cut too much low end on the Mark amps. The Blade is perfect because I can kick it own while I am playing and keep my low end right where I want it but still get a boost...

I sold my Mesa 4x12 and picked up the Recto 2x12 and never regretted it. The 2x12 sounds huge. I was concerned because I had a Carvin Legacy 2x12 with V30s and it sounded small and boxy. But the Mesa 2x12 sounds great. Never missed the 4x12 at all.

So after reading all of this you guys have me leading towards the old school Marshall JCM 2000 dsl. My concerns with it are, can I run an EQ in the effects loop to just use as a volume boost? I am also leaning Rectifier because it is different enough from the Mark and has the solo boost...

Thanks for the suggestions/opinions. I think I am leaning towards the Single Recto or JVM because I have actually played those 2 and kind of know what to expect but keep the suggestions coming.

Currently I have a Mesa Mark IV and I am looking for a second amp to compliment it. Looking for something in the 50 watt range with a good/decent clean and a dirty channel that can go up into hard rock/metal levels of gain. I would prefer an effects loop. I don't mind if the dirty channel...

I have seen this recommended before as a good replacement for the JB. Might have to try it. I have messed with the height of the pickups a little but never the individual coil screws. Might mess with that also.

I have a SD JB pickup in the bridge pickup of each of my guitars. I love the output but I feel like I lose note clarity sometimes. Is it because of the high output or is it inherent to the pickup? I have them in a Gibson Flying V, Les Paul, PRS singlecut and a hot rodded strat. I play...

I have owned 2 Sig X heads and the Mark IV. Sold the Sig X in favor of the IV. It is true that the Sig X still needs a boost to do what the Mark IV can do without one. I wanted to like it but everytime I plugged back into in the Mark IV it would remind me of the character and feel the Sig X...

I tried EL34s in my IVb and didnt care for it at all. Kind of thinned the tone a little. It also hasnt been the most reliable and I am starting to read about these amps breaking down being fairly common. The knobs on my lead channel quit working and had to have a bunch of caps replaced so...
