    Why the insane wattage?

    Try playing with a bass player running 1500 - 2000 watts and a modern drummer and keyboard player. If you use the clean channel at all, you need the headroom. I can get a 20 watt amp to get loud enough in the lead channel, but the clean channel is a whole nother ballgame. 100 watts minimum, for me.

    Thanks Raz. I'll try that.

    Rectoverb vs. Mark IV vs. F50

    My sentiments exactly, Raz. This is the best combo amp i've ever had for Marshally type tones, even better than the Marshall combos i've heard. And it's pretty versatile too. The one drawback is you must turn it up a bit for the buzz to go away, it's not a bedroom amp. But with a band where you...

    Rectoverb vs. Mark IV vs. F50

    You really should listen to the amps to determine the tone you want. I've owned most of the Boogies ( still have a Mk 2 C+ long head that I don't use any more because I needed a combo that rocked). The Rectifier combo filled the bill for me. The clean is good enough for me, the reverb is good...

    Single Recto Combo Handle

    tele_jas, are your handles the leather-like handles? Do you use the handle a lot, or do you have a road case? My handle saw a lot of use because it's such a great club amp I lift it a lot.

    Single Recto Combo Handle

    The leather split on the inside, and then the metal innards ended up being exposed. I was just wondering if this had happened to anyone else, and if they had any better ideas so that i'm not buying handles every 6 months. Maybe i'll just wrap duct tape around the next one so the threads on the...

    Single Recto Combo Handle

    The handle snapped off. Haven't even had the amp a year yet. WTF? Anybody else had this happen? Did you just replace it? Find something better? I know of some Fender Twins that still have their original handles. Small thing but what an inconvenience!

    black shadow v30 speakers same as Celestion v30?

    Ever had sombody tell you "ours is the same as theirs, but ours costs a lot less". How? Usually its in build quality and/or materials used. theres got to be a reason Boogie wants theirs built in the UK. Go ahead, buy that Indian, Korean, or Mexican made strat versus the American made model and...

    Mesa Boogie 6L6 tubes, what's the difference??

    Anybody out there know what the !@#$% the Mesa Boogie tube numbering system means? A friend got me into some NOS Siemen EL34s numbered STR 450. One went bad, so I put in the STR430 6L6's it came with. I actually like this tone better, so I went to my local store and they only had STR440's 442's...

    New Clip

    Your tones are good, dude. You should play what makes you happy, not what sells. This music seems to be coming back in demand, or maybe it just went underground with the record companies for awhile. Brittany and Christina will be doing it soon enough!

    SLANT vs. Straight cab?

    My point: When I stand directly in front of a cabinet with whatever speakers, what i'm going to hear is the speaker. The same when you mike a speaker directly on the cone. What are you going to hear? Not the cabinet. I've found when I mike the cabinet also from the side or behind, I pick up the...

    SLANT vs. Straight cab?

    You two are missing the point. I'm talking about the tone of the cabinets. I can tell the difference if i'm standing to the side of the cabinet. I'm not just talking about hearing the cabinet. I hope you guys aren't about dissing people like Ty who have made records and toured and have great...

    SLANT vs. Straight cab?

    I hear a difference, and so do many others, no soul. But you are entitled to your opinion, as am I.

    SLANT vs. Straight cab?

    I beg to differ. I've been in this game for 35 years, and square Marshall cabinets always produced more bass than angled ones, to me. The angled ones produced more upper mids, so I would use them with humbucker guitars, and I would use square cabinets with strats. Back in my rack days when I was...
