Hey I have never used the 3/4 back 112 with the stock C90 speaker I bought mine used with an eminence black shadow in it. Which sounded great clean but not on my overdrive channels. Now I can tell you the EV is a beast, I was jamming with my friend and his 4x12 and I was able to here myself no...

I recently dropped a Mesa EV speaker in my 3/4 back cab and was blown away by the sound i got from it. I am now a believer in the EV speakers.

Congratulations on your discovery, I have switched all my guitars to PAF style pickups with lower output and run my gain between 12-1 and it gives me a thick distortion but i still have definition and control. Now you need to put together some recordings of this new found sound.

Mesa will not sell the grill cloth, they will sell a new front panel with tan jute for a hefty price though

So my friend has a whole bunch of rack gear that he was storing it at my house and he told me to go ahead and play with things. So i did, he used to have his recto pre hooked up to a 2:90 and his formula hooked up to my old 50/50, He recently picked up a used 2:100 which I hooked up to the recto...

There is definitely enough gain on the orange channel, what are your current settings? And what band would you equate your musical style to so i understand what kind of gain you are going for? I have never heard anybody tell me there dual rectifier doesn't have enough gain. If you can dial in...

Cool, My grandma lives a couple blocks south of 15th ave and Osbourne. I on the other hand live way out at 99th ave and Lower Buckeye. Do you play in any local bands?

by the way where are you located in phoenix?

The recto cab has an 8 ohm mono input and 2 stereo 4 ohm inputs which are used to run each side of the cab separately when using a stereo amp. with the roadster you will want to run the 8 ohm out to the 8 ohm input. If you tried using the stereo inputs you would end up with a 2 ohm load which...

I agree with this, I also had better luck with the orange channel. And I definitely agree with keeping the bass around 12 o'clock. also turn your mids up to where you just get enough cut but not too much. That is one thing i like about my road king. I am able to run 6L6's and EL34's together to...

I just looked at my friends nomad 100 since its in my living room right now. There is enough room to space the reverb tank up so it sits flush with the bottom of the shell. its worth a try.

You may also want to look at the radial amp bone if you want the full sound of the 4x12, it will switch your amps to the same cab and keep a load on the head not in use.

The problem you would have is with only two speakers in the 4x12 being active will sound different than a 2x12 cab. you effectively will have a very large 2x12 with passive radiators and it will most likely be really muddy. if you had a road king cab it would work no problem since the cab was...

Ya, I went back through and read your original post again, i completely forgot you mentioning the EMG's. Let us know how things work after you change your strings and tweak your eq.

I was just thinking, you had mentioned you were using an epiphone SG, The stock Epi pickups are pretty muddy and that may be contributing to part of the problem.

Try dropping your bass down to 12-1 O'clock range, run your presence at about 10-11 o'clock, and definitely try some heavy gauge strings. Another option is run an OD808 in front of it but then you have the problem of having to kick it off when you switch to a clean channel.

I forgot to mention, when i had my 3 channel i did get better sound from my orange channel set to modern than i did my red channel when tuned to drop C.

2 - 3 o'clock on the bass? i tune to drop C and use Skinny Top heavy Bottom slinky's which are 10-52 and generally keep my bass around 12 to 1 o'clock. What are all your other settings, remember the mesa tone controls all affect each other, when you turn your gain and treble up your mids and...

here is my rig, nice and simple. dont have any pic of my guitars though

My friend and I have been experimenting a little with different pots and as soon as i come up with something that i like i will record some clips and post them on here
