I did a 3 amp test followed by a bunch of the reamp tests.. Need a better player than me to do 4 AMPS!!! Haha

Give it a couple months then, hold out for the Triple RI that's all blacked out.

My first one was a IIC HRG that I had Mike C+ and then later C++. Stock it was more like my very late IIB KRG, raw AF, and I always regretted +ing it as well. I've had to learn the hard way so many times with mods- if it's not broke, don't fix it.

FWIW I had Mike convert a Triple G to C specs, and having a real C as well, I was very disappointed in the mod. That amp was far better as a stock G & I shouldn't have fukked with it. The Rev C was an amazing amp, but nowhere near a C+ Coli. Half the value at best. And, the DR RI sounds &...

I've always felt like Duals & Triples did metal better than ToVs, Road Kings etc.. Those having a tendency to be darker & ... smoother? Probably better for rock/ alternative. That said & it's been pointed out before, the Rev G IS the sound of the 90s. Boost pedal of your choice, and done.

It's not really a straight comparison such as how the MW is voiced like an F. The RI is voiced like how you dream a Recto should be voiced.

F Triples are super cool amps, and so are G Triples. I'd say it comes down to the deal. And, before you spend more than $3K on ANY Recto, you should really try a reissue first. Hint, they kill.

Back when prices were stable and you could actually make comparisons based on value, F triples were around $3500 and C+ Colis were a bit more than double that. Now, who knows, but I bet the difference is still more than double.

I've got a habit of playing a different rig at every gig, to the extent I thought it'd be fun to have a thread to help me decide what to play at the next show. 🤷‍♂️

I used the C+ HRG RI at band practice today and I'm thrilled to say that it does have improved mids, similar to how the Recto RI does. I had a suspicion.. It sounded fantastic. It had all the tone & bounce of a C+, plus you could actually hear it in the mix! At this point I'd far prefer using...

Personally I think GBs are much more EVH than V30s are.

In terms of the question in the title, my opinion is it depends on your means and your goals. Can you afford high end gear, and you need to find out for yourself? Then absolutely yes, it's worth it. You can't get the experience of a Wizard or a SLO (for example) from clips. Can you not afford...

~490pv on both my HRG RI as well as the DRG RI I tried previously. Note the JP & the MkVII was around 460pv.

I'm finding that at the level of gear I've worked my way into after years of trial & error, there are only different colors of the right anwswer. :rawk:

Always everything at noon. Only exception was with the JTM45, I had to tweak the level to match the volume with the pedal in/out.
