Another new single recto guy....

[cellardweller]

Hello, nice place ya' got here!

I am the proud owner of a Solo 50 head and a 2x12 Avatar cab.

I also recently received my order from Eurotubes (Bob is an ULTRA-cool guy too), but haven't yet changed the tubes, because I am still exploring the sounds from the tubes presently in the head. I think my avatar still needs further exercize of the speakers first also, and I want to be able to fully/accurately contrast the difference!

So, is the Single Recto kinda like the slow little brother of the dual/triple?
Hidden away in the closet/shed away from the critical eyes of strangers?
It's not even mentioned in the description of this forum! :lol:

the single just has its own special place, their tone is different from the dual and the triple... and the dual is different then the triple... they all have a variation of their own thing going on... i preferred the dual sound and just pulled two tubes to get 50 watts (ive never run into a need for 100 watts... even with my second guitarists head being a 100 watt marshall)

but the singles are cool, two channels are nice... simpler circuitry, i didnt like that it only had a solid state rectifier... i only use the tube setting on my amps because i like the feel and the compression in the clean channel.

but yeah that thing is loud... they all are... have a good time, and id give the mesa tubes some time... i like mesa tubes, break them in see what happens, and you are right you need to give that cab and speakers some time to breathe... so crank it up!

Yea, I can already tell a difference I think, even only after a couple of hours....
