Guess the amp and stuff

[Steinmetzify]

Messing around with a bunch of stuff. Brought my Ibby RGA121 to my buddy’s place for him to check out. He’s a dyed in the wool ESP fan but he dug it.


RGA121 with Black Winters and?


Post what you think below. I’ll give it 24 hours or so.

Recto is my guess.

 

[Edika]

I can't really tell honestly. Sounds like a C or B tuned guitar (I think) and the amp, while massive, sounds tight. That would be Recto terittory but doesn't have the sag. So something like an Archon maybe?

Whatever it is it sounds great lol!

My boosted Rev F is definitely in that zone. I was actually thinking Recto > Uber > Archon, but after going to youtube to listen to some Archon clips I figured I'd just go all-in on Recto Though I think they were in standard tuning, and still different eq settings possible, but I thought the Archon had more mid-mids/upper-mids.

 

[Demiurge]

Is this a "guess which quality high gain amp" or "you won't believe what POS we got sounding like this" kind of game?

 

[CanserDYI]

From a phone mic it definitely sounds Recto veined to me too.

And my thoughts exactly @Demiurge, I'm guessing we're all gonna be "recto! Archon! Diezel!" And he's gonna say "Peavey Vypyr 50" lol

 

[4Eyes]

is it Marshall MS-2 plugged into external cab?

 

[youngthrasher9]

I’m gonna guess Diezel Einstein with a boost OR an orange dark terror. I don’t personally think it’s a recto unless it’s a mini rec.

 

[bostjan]

Through cell phone mic, it sounds like a Line6. IDK, maybe a MESA, maybe a VHT with a drive in front, maybe even a Peavey. I'd go out on a limb and say it's definitely not a Marshall or an Orange unless it's been mod'ed or has 6L6's or somesort of midrange tricks going on.

The real puzzle, though, is what you two are saying to each other.

My money is on you should have used a 5150. And if you did use a 5150 you should have used a block letter. And if you did use a block letter you shouldn't have changed the original tubes. And if you didn't change the original tubes you really should have by now.

Interesting. I guess that could make sense since the single notes had a certain tonality that I don't think is spot-on recto, but then the low end seemed pretty loose to be a Diezel anything.

Ha….we usually use that amp for doom….boost ch 2+ and then a BAT Pharaoh after that; I’m used to it being way looser, so with those pickups it sounded really tight to me compared to what it normally sounds like lol
