I only ask because i recently had a mesa rectoverb 50 combo and it couldnt not keep up in my band, was farting out something fierce.
Anyone play the archon 50 in a loud band setting?
So i got a peavey 4x12MS cab for $100 canadian. Nothin special but the seller has retolexed it in green, very diy job but i kinda love Frankenstein stuff so very cool!!
Its unloaded, guy asks if i want him to throw 2 car speakers in so its at least semi usable, now here's the thing, ive always...
Hey gang, theres a bassman 135 head locally that im thinking of but reading conflicting things on its loudness/headroom (big surprise i know)
Has anyone used one with distortion/fuzz pedals in a very loud band? Really want to hear some first hand experiences.
The most well known would probably be mesa rectifiers of course, and perhaps the vh140 but what else?
Really interested to hear about some lesser known and or Boutique stuff. Tube, solidstate, whatever but lets say 100w and up give or take.
Theres a ton of highgain amps of varying prices and...
Ok full disclosure, this heavy earth sent the fleshrot to me to demo but my pitiful tiny yt channel is SOOOO beyond anywhere from being monetizable, i do it for fun and the love of pedals. I love video editing and put so much work into it and love sharing it with people who might dig it...
Get it?..... MESAy!
Ahem... Moving on...
Got a mesa rectoverb 50 series 2 combo today and as suspected it rips!
Has a black shadow speaker, how do these compare to V30s/swamp thangs?
It will replace my fender 68 custom pro reverb combo as my new pedal platform for my band though i might just...

I want an extention 1x12 cab for the purpose of adding some low end while still being very portable.
slightly oversized is ok but dont want one the size of a 2x12.
Suggestions?
Looking for a cheap solution footswitch for gen one 7 pin 5150iii 100w head???
As far as I know the gen1 was not midi but im not certain.
Ive been googling but am not seeing anything, any help would be appreciated.
As some may know I traded my single recto head for a gen1 evh 5150iii 100w.
1st thing I noticed is how good palm mute chuggin sounds, it's definitely got "IT" and has a nice busy gain structure. Lots of hairy saturation (didn't wake up thinking I'd be saying that lol)
Its kind of "dry"...
Sorry for all my posts, I'm strangely active today.. Or extra bored at work.
Anyway here's a thread to discuss if you should do that trade or not, I'll start!
I have the chance to trade my mesa single rectifier 50 head for a fryette ps100 powerstation.
Ive always been intrigued by the PS...
Anyone ever try or own one? Please talk about it! I'm bored lol.
It's edgy but man I absolutely love the looks of this thing! Especially with the matching cab. If the cenobytes from hellraiser were in a band this is 100% what they'd use lol.

Had the choice of the amp with a V30 for $250 (Canadian$) or a celestion 70/80 for $150 (aka the worst speaker ever made) i went with the V30.
IIts quite large for a 1x12 and because of it handles lowend pretty darn good! At least at lower home volume, and speaking of lowend wow! It's...
The perfect way the begin the new year!!
Guitar straight into the orange (depthfinder in loop) and swamp thang is mic'd.
Traded my mesa 2x12 for cash + an orange cr120h.
Just got it today and am very impressed! I can easily say it's the easiest to record amp I've ever owned, total plug n play...
Does anyone else play metal on instruments not often used in metal?
I play electric cello and its insane with highgain, the lows are so freakin grindy yet has a liquidy flowiness to it that comes inherent with bowed instruments.
Its really fun experimenting with EVERYTHING! All my pedals and...
I kinda got burnt out on death/modern metal a few years back despite being a huge death metal guy my whole life since first hearing napalm death when i was 12 or so.
Over the past decade or so its like every band literally sounds identical, sure its very technical but if its got no soul then...
