Members xrleroyx Posted May 27, 2013 Members Share Posted May 27, 2013 I swapped my plexi kit amp for this Rectoverb Combo. I also picked up this 7 string for $100. Really nice clean sound, brootal gains. That's about it. Maybe I haven't EQ'd it right for the raw and vintage voicings. First Mesa though. Not bad. Not sure if I'll be keeping it though.

Members BydoEmpire Posted May 27, 2013 Members Share Posted May 27, 2013 Nice scores! Never played a Rectoverb myself, but I did enjoy most of the Mesas I've tried out over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wankdeplank Posted May 27, 2013 Members Share Posted May 27, 2013 That looks like a hell of a lotta guitar for 100 bones. Is that an Ibanez? Never even heard of a rectoverb let alone played one but my Mesa Heartbreaker is the best amp I've ever owned. I haven't played through many but I did play a Mach 1 that was pretty one-dimensional and not much of a clean machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kayd_mon Posted May 27, 2013 Members Share Posted May 27, 2013 You have some of the most eclectic purchases here. Mesa plus 7strings sounds like a lot of fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, my friends tell me the same thing. I just really love multiple styles of music. I can never really decide where my gear should be, although I'm considering a twin again. Casters make it useable, and you can get a vintage one pretty cheap, and toss in some money for pedals. The Mesa is pretty cool, but I don't know how to EQ it for anything other than TEH BR00TZ. The clean channel is pretty **** snappy too. I like it. The 7-string is a "Davison". Some cheap offbrand. The guitar and pickups are of pretty great quality. Don't really even need to swap them. Gives it a nice djenty toan. Think Periphery and Born of Osiris. the floyd however, is ****. Barely stays in tune. I'd be better off blocking it, although I just learned to do dive-bombs and the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kayd_mon Posted May 27, 2013 Members Share Posted May 27, 2013 I always say to go Bandmaster if you're going to go Fender, but a Twin with pedals will do everything well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members xrleroyx Posted May 27, 2013 Author Members Share Posted May 27, 2013 I"m really in to silverface Bassmans. I'd like to have one modded with a master volume on the guitar channel to run it dirty, and no MV on the bass channel to run that clean, so I can have them around the same volumes. That's what I don't like about independent channel amps. Even with a MV, the dirt channel will be much louder than the clean channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
