I believe its F?+B+E-A-D-G-B-E but varies a lot depending on the player. but that's the most common 8 string tuning.

thanks! i already have a booster. so i can cover that. i tuned one of my 6 strings to 7 strings from low B to high B basically and i like the sound though i know its not made to do that but as i test it worked well. not sure how it would deal with even more bass haha

Hello hello! its been a long time since i post here. I'm considering getting an 8 string guitar and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with the Dual recto roadster (or just DR) and 8 strings guitars? in terms of sound and bass and all that! what say you!? Thanks in a advance.

i still wait to witness the power of a mesa stereo rig.... anyone wanna share their experience with it? im considering turn my mono rig into stereo hehehe

you should try "shouting fire at a funeral" and "sacristy" the whole CD is really good but these are my favourites, also "jato Unit"

VijfZiel thanks! we put a lot of work just to record the one song! i still think we can record with a better quality, we just need the time to set up everything perfectly hehehe. we're thinking of uploading one of our instrumental tracks soon, should be awesome! -pry

hey dude! depends on what kind of distortion you want, for metal i use gain at 3 o'clock, treble and bass and 3 too and mids at around 9. presence at noon. i also have it on diode instead of recto tracking. i dont like reverb too much i use delay so my reverb is all the way off. for normal rock...

what a sexy head! hehehe take good care of this sexy lady! you shold name it! i propose a vote :mrgreen:

you should check the used manual its a good guide! if you dont have it, you can get it from the mesa website. but sounds to me its a fuse problem.

welcome proud mesa owner!! i got my dual recto roadster combo about 2 yrs ago now, after suffering for 3 yrs with a peavey bandit 112, gathering the 2k cash and one sore back after carrying the beast; turn it on and i was amazed (and still amazed) at what this amp can do!! i mean it makes the...

+1 without the loop on. the problem is then put delay into the mix and stuff, but you just turn the fxloop off when not using the delay, and have the delay on all the time. that way you can just use it when you need it. :o

my DR roadster is a combo it comes a 2x12 with v30s, closed back! i love the push of this cab, makes the floor shake sometimes!! :lol: beside the V30s sound amazing! i would go with a 2x12 with v30 if i were you, either vertical or horizontal. although a vertical 2x12 cab sound interesting to try.

On Spongy the volume is normally lower than on bold, if you run your amp mostly on bold the tube life is less than if you run it on spongy. have you tried checking the volume on each channel? maybe you should turn it up a little bit more :mrgreen:

just wondering if anyone has ever tried to get guthrie Govan's tone on a DR? it be great to know xD

I use a keeley modded TS9 drive 0, tone 7~8, lvl at 5. it works great for rythm distortion and metal distortion too, for solos i just use the solo footswitch and get rid of the ts9 while soloing i think it adds unwanted noice, but works great for rythm! :mrgreen:

thnx! sound interesting, maybe i'll go and test one out at the music store. :mrgreen:

hey thanks! finelly somebody answers!!! hehehe, i'll give it a try tonight and report back! i find that my lead tone improves without the TS9 since the TS9 makes the sound a bit more fuzzy.

hey! i have recto roadster too, and i play mostly metal too, i usually run the gain n the 2 ~ 3 pm range, bass at around 12~1, treble around 1~2 pm and mid between 7~9 am. use the presence knob too i helps, try the presence at around 3 pm. i do run a tube screamer up front! makes everything...

hey! i have a DR roadster combo, i love my riff tone/clean tones, but i can't seem to get the right set up for an awesome lead/solo sound. i use a tube screamer in front, and timefactor on the loop for extra flavour to the sound haha. anyone has any suggestions/pointers? i listen to a lot of...

hey! i own a dual recto roadster 2x12 combo, i get every sound i need from it. i play from clean acoustics to hardcore metal. its has a really wide range of sounds, i do agree the leads are hard to get right but it just takes some fidling around, i also run a tube screamer in front to tighted...
