I've found a used dual rectifier solo head for about the same price as the single rectifier solo head..
Ok, please let me know if I'm wrong here, but:
Here is what I am sceptical about at the dual rectifier:
- It doesnt sound as good as the single on low volume
- I've heard the three channel version isn't as good as the two channel version
- more expensive to change tubes
- I will probably have to change the tubes soon because their'e used
- I will have to buy a more expensive cabinet (?)
and the single rectifier:
- Only two channels
- Im really not shure of this but it has less presence at high volume?
OK, so what I want from the tone is a sharp really higain AWESOME tone, similiar to the Pantera sound at cowboys from hell. I currently have a cube 60 at the rectifier-mode. full gain, full presence and treeble at low volume and about 8 or 9 (out of 10) at high volume. Bass at about 4 or 5 and mid at about 3..
When I play with the band I have to have almost full volume with this 60 watts non-tube amp(forgot the english word for "non-tube"..) I would like it louder, but it just starts to feed ALOT. But I doubt the single rectifier wont be powerfull enough.
How is the noise on theese two amps? (single and dual rectifier solo head) does they feed a lot? I have EMG 81 and EMG 85
When you turn off your guitar does it still make noise? (not talking about feedback, but that constant noise that many amps has, some amps makes a LOT of that noise at high volume even when theres no jack plugged in, or the volume switch at the guitar is turned all the way down.
So, what would you recomend? And also please say what cabinet I should buy with it =)
Thanks
