The combo might sound slightly different than the 2x12 closed back cab, because the combo has an open or 3/4 back. The closed back will give you more of a focused, punchy sound. The open and 3/4 back will take away some of the lower end, but make your mids and highs much more chimey and easier...
I've heard putting a set of THD Yellowjackets in the pre section of my Dual Rect will make it operate like a class A, is this true? And do I have to mod anything when swapping? 8)
I think it was mostly the cabs, although the heads are very different. Were you playing clean/dirty? Also "tightness", imo, is subjective to ear. I found the DR to have the best tones out of the three, whereas a SR player will shoot me down and a TR would just laugh. :wink:
I want to "brighten" up my Dual rect a bit. I plugged in a open back 1x12 cab w/ a V30 and was suprised at how much of a difference it actually made. Although it had the chimey I am looking for, I lost that bass I like w/ my oversized Recto 4x12 w/ V30s. I am thinking about making a 3/4 back...
What setting do you have the front toggle at? vintage/raw/modern? I noticed that the modern pushes the head a lil harder and brings out more mids and highs. Same as the silicone diodes vs the rectifier pre's and the bold vs spongy change how hard the preamp section is running. The harder it's...
I bought a ATA case for my DR head from Ebay, Angstrom Cases, and I would strongly recommend them. I saw the NYCases guy, but even in the pictures, they looked cheap. Check the build specs and compare to Anvil, very similar but a lil bit less cost.
