    I get plenty of good sounds from mine... and I don't mean numetal or heavily downtuned sloppy chugging chordwork.

    Remember there was a time when George Lynch, John Petrucci, Michael Wilton (Queensryche), James/Kirk (Metallica) used these amps... and all these guys had no trouble dialing in some killer tones.

    That and downtuned to A flat 7 string numetal slop. They really can do much more.

    Sorry folks, but this is an amp that takes tweaking and understanding. To simply write it off as a high polished recto is bull{censored}.


    S.



    +1000 I couldn't agree more.

    I played a beat to {censored} Diezel thru a Mesa Recto 4X12 and it sounded like ass... blah, blah, blah. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    Please go back to wanking out the intro to "Enter the Sandman" thru that Line 6 combo. :D :D

    As far as the Herbert sounding like a Recto, that's pretty much BS. I have a new 2006 Dual Recto stitting right next to my Herbert... they don't sound much a like at all.

    :eek:

    ...and some people who have owned every other high channel switcher out there (sometimes two or more times) also think it's the best. ;)

     

    I also own a few other amps which are more expensive than my Herbert, so as far as price goes, it's relative.
