Members Digital Jams Posted December 16, 2009 Members Share Posted December 16, 2009 Hey Scott, long time no talk So what have you added amp wise in the past year? Last I remember was a Mesa I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shask Posted December 16, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 16, 2009 I'm always on here I got a Mesa Triple Recto Blackface a few months ago. That thing is pretty evil. Tight and huge. Definitely a good Recto.Also, I have a JCM800 2203 clone I built a year or 2 ago. Anyways, I decided to ditch the other inputs and wire in another tube stage a few weeks ago. It is a little hissy now, but it easily has the gain of a 5150. It does awesome older Fear Factory tones, and can even get an Appetite for Destruction type tone with fatter pickups.Ive been playing those 2 amps mostly lately. Of course, I still have the other amps in my sig also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Digital Jams Posted December 16, 2009 Members Share Posted December 16, 2009 Oh yeah, should have read the sig Had a SLP modded by Mike Fortin, pure hotrod marshall that is silly quiet due to the dc heaters and a ton of tone options. Love it.I want a recto someday just because Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members richey888 Posted December 16, 2009 Members Share Posted December 16, 2009 NAD!!! Okay, it was Saturday but......Marshall 5212. '86 or '87ish, loud as hekk, nice dirt and clean channels. Anyone have experience w/ these? Sounds good with pedals, even a Mocro Amp booster! Nice FX loop......a hair on the trebly side, but haven't had a lot of time to tweak....Thanks for looking!

Members richey888 Posted December 16, 2009 Members Share Posted December 16, 2009 Sorry for the crappy cell phone pix.....really clean for a 20+ yr old amp....Celestion G1270 Speakers. Kinda cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Toshiro Posted December 16, 2009 Members Share Posted December 16, 2009 Yay, we're back! Picked this up for my jam buddy locally:6505+ for $500 off CL. It's mine until he gets a cab, and some tubes for it. Oh, and he has to pay me for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Digital Jams Posted December 16, 2009 Members Share Posted December 16, 2009 The new Charvels are out, I just reserved the new s/s/h model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Toshiro Posted December 16, 2009 Members Share Posted December 16, 2009 Meh, mine's already HSS. Oh, did I mention I "fixed" my maiden strat with a new body and a Musikraft neck:That's body and neck #3 in the project, but should be the last. and I ditched the GFS single coils for a pair of Dimarzio Virtual Solos.

Love it.I want a recto someday just because I need to play with the hiss. It was fine before I cranked the gain way up.I got rid of all the tone options to have 1 bad-ass tone I not a huge fan of a million options.I have thought about getting a Recto for a long time, but always had a hate/love thing with them. Many of them sound horrible to me, but the one I got it awesome. I almost cant make it sound mushy and saggy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-Bing it against my rig I don't really want to keep it though. It'll sound sweet if/when we get a band going and both rigs are going at once.He should be picking up an Avatar Vintage 2-12 with Celestion G12K-100s for it. Oh, and some tubes.

Members Shask Posted December 17, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 Does it sound that much different than your rig? Thats one thing I hate, the more amps I have, the more I realize I always tend to make them all sound the same, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Toshiro Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 It's not different enough. The Laney by itself is very different, but the way I have it tweaked it's just as heavy/thick, but tighter. The 6505+ might have a bit more lows than my current "sound", but that's okay.I want to try to tweak the RP1000's 5150II model to sound as close as possible to the real thing while I have it, though.

Members Shask Posted December 17, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 Yeah, you would probably need something dark to really have a huge difference. You need a Recto Does the model sound kinda close going into the Laney power amp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it'll ever sound the same, but having something closer would be cool. Also the Laney has KT77s vs the 6505's 6L6s, so there's that difference. Not really feeling the Recto. I'd love to try out an Engl Fireball, but I can't justify spending the $$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to try out an Engl Fireball, but I can't justify spending the $$$. I think Rectos vary a lot. Some of them sound like a big fuzzy sponge, while others are completely evil sounding.The one I have is pretty evil. For example, I know you are big into Testament, I can get that heavy "Low" tone easy with no boost, or any other gear.Id like to try an Engl period, but I dont know if they would be my thing or not.
