Sounds like youre using a tube screamer as a clean boost? If not, my recto sounds nowhere near as tight with those settings you listed :shock:

I slaved my dual recto to a power amp and used the power amp outs to the cab and didnt think to hook up a load direct from the dual recto to the cab. So i was using the recto without a load for quite some time, hours on end infact until i realised. No smoke, no blown tubes or fuses, kinda...

The fuse blew when switching between diode/vacuum, bold/spungy. Cant pin point the exact moment. Should i be switching between these when the amp is off ? maybe switching between them caused a surge. Ive heard of two similiar problems with people switching between similiar settings and blowing...

I suggest getting a tube screamer, it'll tighten up the low end no matter what eq settings, diode/vacuum settings you have and give you that log sound youre looking for, no need to change cab just yet. I had the same problem, i bought a digitech bad monkey ( cheap tube screamer copy) blew me...
