there’s a local band who’s made these sound killer for over 20yrs, always liked their sound live I’ve owned a few OG 5150’s which I’ve loved. Probably the amp I’ve played most now. Been a recto guy for the past 5yrs or so but I’ve randomly been bitten to look at the 5150ii / 6505+ out of...

Used TU2s for years and always liked them. Now I play mostly in drop B. The Polytune3 handles this easily, smooth, sounds in tune (which helps!).. great. Bought a TU3 and it’s a match with the Polytune for 5 out of the 6 strings. As soon as I get to the low B. The boss falls apart. Can’t...

How do these compare tonally? Modern Jose amps like fortin cali, headfirst evil joe etc.. are they as ‘modern’ as your peavey 5150/6505 and rectifiers? Or is there still some vintage vibe coming through

When people refer to a Cali is it simply another name for a Jose? or a Jose with some mods? Is a Jose simply a modded 2203/plexi? Where did the term Cali first come from?

I own a JEL mod 2203 JMP. Currently have tried boosting with an SD1 and OD808. V30 speakers Guitar has rather high output pickups It sounds good don't get me wrong. Wouldn't say it's as modern as my old 2ch dual rect. Any tips on really taking these into modern high gain territory? My...

not sure if this is old news or not.. https://guitarbomb.com/mesa-iic-rev-rectifier-reissues-leaked-online/?fbclid=IwY2xjawGgvmtleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHYPOjDdx5vdG4iyPxtR9suR2O4oTCwqUjJ0Bbjdp61DXJni8Z6i-kbvurw_aem_cKRK4SLWjDVk8_uoZIKB-A

Always liked this one and thought it was rather unique. Dry yet aggressive and very clear, not over saturated. I've heard this band associated with VHT over the years, does this sound Fryette to you?

I absolutely love my Herbert however my eyes are extremely sensitive to the very bright blue leds. I'm looking to change these out. Anyone else do this and have any pics or tips?

I've only just discovered these guys even though I've known the name for years. Turns out they're playing at a local bar here in Australia at the end of the month so can't wait to see them live.

Spent some more time comparing my new Sherlock Fat Head against my Mk1 Herbert. These tests were for my own geeking out so though I'd share the results. Everything is re-amped through the same cab and mic setup so the only variable here are the amps. Have some samples of iso clips against...

when playing the rhythm brootz riffing, do you Herbert users tend to sit more on ch2+ or ch3? I keep flip flopping myself

I know it's technically rather inaccurate vs modern pedal tuners. But it just feels like home to me, plus the amount of pros who have used them over the years.. I've cycled through many pedal tuners and now feel like going back to what I know and love. Any one else still rocking these?

This shit is like a movie... just nuts

I remember early 2000's when Diezel really started getting traction and more popular. They were always considered 'recto killers' and they were generally always viewed as a recto upgrade. Recto's were often spoken poorly of due to some of the late 90's nu-metal tones. Flubby, buzzy, no mids...

I know there were factory issues a couple of years ago and short supply. is that still going on? seems preamp tubes have doubled in price from when i last looked

Not a very well known amp, even here in Australia. Despite being around since the late 90s. Sherlock definitely plays in the Diezel, Mesa Recto territories in terms of high gain. Tweaking to his taste. Apparently ch2 gets more into Marshall but I need to test that. Cleans are stellar too...

hey guys! Travelling for work and will have 3 nights in Dallas and 1 night stop over in LA on the way home. Anywhere cool music related that I should check out in these cities?

One of my friends has a Rev C recto - serial 258 Potentially may be on the market and trying to get a fair gauge of what it could be worth? What's a rough serious price these would go for these days?
