Holy crap, that's not ok... :shock:

I bought an OSP, and think it's very nice. I'm not aware of other brands besides the few you mentioned. I have an anvil 10 space as well, and like the OSP better..

I would seriously get both. And then a rectifier recording preamp and keep going...

Just for kicks, i signed it- i would love to see a reissue..

For whatever it's worth, i just finished recording a cd with the rectifier recording preamp- it was great for cleans, leads, and everything in between. I used a 50/50 power amp with it, and have since picked up a 2:100 rectifier power amp, as that is the natural companion power amp for this...

Thanks for the info about the decimator- the tubes on this one are supposedly new, and i'm only getting that buzz on the modern mode- every other mode sounds pristine. I was wondering if other 2:100 owners have the same buzzing sound when they switch into modern mode..

I just picked up a 2:100 power amp to go with my rectifier recording preamp, and this is the first time i've gotten to use the modern mode on channel 2. There's a pretty noticable hum when i switch on the modern mode, and wonder how anybody else deals with that. Do people just live with it, or...

I have this setup, but instead of a tc electronics unit, i'm using an eventide eclipse. I tried a few wiring options when i got my 2:100 last week, and the best sounding arrangement so far is this.. I have live outs from the recto pre- 1 channel goes into the eventide, the other channel goes...

I figured this might be a good post to show my new 2:100...

If you go to the mesa website, you can download the manual for the 2:100- i just got mine last week and printed out the manual for reference. This particular manual has several pages of diagrams explaining different wiring possibilities for the 2:100, and which load mismatches are safe.

I don't play or record metal- but I have used the recto preamp in the studio on a cd recording these past few months. I used the recto preamp with my 50/50 power amp and mesa speaker cabs, as well as direct and direct with my eventide- it worked well in each case, and gave me some awesome...

I have a recto preamp also- my understanding is that the vintage and modern modes sound the same until you hook up the recto preamp with the 2:100 power amp- at that point the modern mode interfaces with special circuitry in the 2:100 to give you some serious lead tones. I haven't gotten my...

I don't have experience with the quad, but am very happy that I picked up a rectifier recording preamp after I already had a studio preamp- the rectifier definately gives one a lot of tone options different from a studio...

Thanks for the great feedback- I'll give it a whirl!

I picked up a behringer 1010 midi foot controller for my eventide eclipse unit, and have made zero progress in trying to get the expression pedals to interface with the effects unit. Has anybody used this thing with success? It's not critical that I get this thing to work, but I'm feeling kind...

I love my studio pre, but I think the recto pre has way more clean tone options- I'm a sucker for deep, gorgeous clean tones with chorus and delay...

I've been recording a cd with my recto preamp, and have loved the results. The first 70% of the guitar tones were used by having the preamp going into my 50/50 and then into a mesa or marshall cab- the last 30% have been using the preamp into my engineers di boxes, either clean or with an...

Great information in this thread, and I agree with the advice to have extra tubes around to swap out when noise occurs. I'm a little OCD now with checking standby and off modes on my mesas..

I've got a 10 top mccarty model from 98- I love this guitar more than any other object on earth...

I don't play gigs anymore- only doing recording in a high end studio.  For me, effects start and end with eventide.  I just bought an eventide eclipse 1 rack space unit, and it's sound quality blows everything else away.  Eventide now makes a pair of effect pedals for the guitar- one a...
