I'll try and record my 2ch blackface, but I need to get a recording interface first..

Excellent stuff. Enjoy that head bro, I know you will.

muffledness?

I run the presence at 0 on Modern on Ch3, which I use for rhythm, and actually, on channel 2 on modern for leads. But I cannot get Vintage to sound good with presence at 0 on Ch2. Where do you run the presence for a good lead tone in Vintage?

Maybe it's my ears are so used to modern mode, but even when using Petrucci's settings, Vintage sounds a little muffled to me. I dunno why??

his cabs looked so killer on the last tour. and I notice the ZW-44 too...

I agree, but he just used his guitar, wah, dd6 and 2 Road Kings for G3, and his tone is fantastic. Must just be in the fingers.

the reason I ask is because Petrucci gets a huge lead tone with whatever Rectifier he uses, yet he apparently doesn't use a boost?

So I decided to keep my 3 channel head as I realised just how great it sounded and I love the versatility of it, over a 2 channel. Anyway with that said, I have been playing it alot loudly the last 2 days, and I LOVE it. Who here use a boost pedal for leads with their Recto? I was using a...

If you are playing at lower volumes, this is why you won't have much gain. In this case, I would recommend a Maxon OD808 - fantastic pedal. However, once you turn the ***** up, you should only need the OD for VERY gainy stuff. All in my opinion of course.

Well.. It only has 2 dings on the tolex. Tiny. The rest is dead mint. The blackface this is.

It's not about the cosmetics. It's more about the tone.. Any ideas on that?

So, regarding my quest of a 2 channel Rectifier... I have 2 potential amps I could buy. Amp 1, is a Blackface, early 93 model, serial number r-001538. This one has a few scars on the tolex, but other than that, is absolutely mint. Amp 2 is your standard recto fare looks wise, not sure on the...

thats the thing. i'm definately into the simplicity side of things, and the purity of the 2ch tone.

any more opinions?

I definately preferred the JJs over the stock Mesa 6L6s - they improved the aggression of the amp to me. The 2 channel models have so much aggression aswell, but its smoother and more organic, to my ears.

Cool man, thanks for the advice. I have had the 3 channel Dual for around a year or so now, and it's just not happenin as much as the 2 channels i've heard. The fact it's a Blackface just makes it oh so much sweeter, to me. Anymore opinions?
