I really like the neon orange on the knob dimples. Fits right in with the glow of the tubes.

Just saw Mesa post about this on Facebook and went to the website. watched all the videos and would really like to hear these in person.

Recto 4x12 slant cab. The guy just wanted to get rid of it.

Just picked up another recto slant cab for $250. No scratches or tears in the grill either. It was my luck day I guess.

The other guitarist in my cover band uses a THD hot plate. He says he uses it so he can get that "cranked" tone without being too loud for smaller venues. I keep telling him the only way to get that "cranked" tone is to CRANK the **** thing haha! And if he's worried about being too loud for...

That's a big part of the equation not to be concerned about. FWIW I personally think you can't get the "Recto" tone unless you have the proper speakers/cabinetry. I have a 70's Peavey 4x12 (before they put the aluminum trim on the sides) with the original speakers and the tone isn't the same as...

Went out and bought all new power tubes and rectifier tubes today. Before testing my luck with all new tubes I looked inside again to double check the guts and came across this. Looks like I'll be taking it in for repair before I fry $140 in tubes.

Yeah I was 99% sure it was ok but I was a bit apprehensive for fear of smelling fried amp with a show 2 days away haha! 15 minutes after I posted this I said screw it, crossed my fingers and fired it up. 2 6l6's started glowing after 5 minutes of test play. Time for a total power section re...

Now just before practice I went into my basement to warm up a bit and after a few minutes low end went out, inner 2 6l6's glowing bright red then the rectifier tubes started flashing then pop! And then the dreaded smell of something burning. :( I opened her up and flipped her over to check...

I just built one with $10 in parts from Radio Shack. Switch, jack, led, led holder, and project box. Super easy.

I used to say something similar when I had my old (and quite obnoxious) rig. It was an ATA flight approved 2 head (loaded with 2, 2 channel Dual Rectifiers) 15 space rack (loaded with goodies and a 3 space rack drawer that had EVERYTHING I could EVER need) I would also lug around 2, 4x12's to...

I now have every tone I need at my fingertips! :twisted: I've had the DR for ten years and is still my favorite amp for all my "metal" needs.

Is that still an ongoing issue? I remember reading about that roughly 3 years ago. I'm selling a friends DR and he can't find the footswitch, I went to Radio Shack and got the parts (including LED) for literally $5.

"lil" rig???? :shock:

yeah i was looking at a 2 channel eq so i'd have options with different guitars
