so yeah yesterday i went to guitar center to buy a schecter c-1 elite to replace my shitty ltd ec-50. i plugged it in to the dual rec they had there to test drive it and wow it sounded awful. no clarity or anything and the tone was awful. while it was better than the ltd i was not satisfied. one of the guys pointed out a gibson les paul vintage mahogany and told me to try it out. though i had played this same guitar before i never really was found of the tone. however i took his advice used the same settings on the store dual rec that i use on mine (which i thought were terrible and that i just didnt know how to dial it in) and wow i was amazed. the thing kicked complete *** and ive never played a guitar or amp that sounded so good together. it was as if they were made for each other. so astonished i walked up to the guy and told him my budget and how i only planned on buying the c-1 elite and long story short i walked out of the store purchasing a beautiful guitar that screams on high gains for a little over 500 after haggling a bit. i took it home and plugged it in after my ltd just to do an a/b comparison and it demolished. for all those who have been reading my posts know that i havent been happy with my recs tone and i always thought it was the amp. but after making a great purchase on a great guitar im pumped with the rec and ive finally given the tube powered beast its due room to unleash its fury. anyone looking for "that" tone out of their dual rectifier should definately consider adding a good gibson or prs before making any mods to their amp. now only to upgrade my marshall 1960 cab to either a rectifier or stilleto 4x12. :twisted: :twisted:
