I've found the Express to be a really capable amp. It's only "drawbacks" would be the lack of that 3rd channel ala the flagship Mark, or perhaps the lack of the "name recognition" of the recto series. The lack of a third channel is only really relevant in some live situations where you might...

Thanks for the responses! In all cases, the amp is an Express 5:50 + HEAD into a 2 x 12 Recto Horizontal cab. MBJunkie: "MOT with Guit". is: 1. A PRS Bernie Marsden (bridge pickup) vol. knob at "9" 2. You guessed it! "Burn" Channel with gain at 1:00, straight tone-stack EQ (traditional...

Over the last couple of months I've put the Express 5:50 + to use in the studio on a few occasions. Thought I'd share the results with anyone who might be interested in actually hearing what they sound like. Granted: these are just the tones I chose, by no means a comprehensive display of all...

I've owned an Express 5:50+ for over a year now and have been getting by with a digitech RP500 plugged into the effects loop for all delay-based effects like chorus, phase, etc. The problem of course is that the RP500 is really a floor unit and "wants" to be plugged directly into the amp's...
