That is confusing. I think the model I had was Pau Ferro according to the specs. The model I bought was from 2020 though. I have a J Custom that has a Macassar Ebony fingerboard and it looked fairly similar.
I had one for about a year or so. I realized i'm just not a fan of active pickups / EMG's and I prefer an unfinished / satin neck at the back. Wasn't a huge fan of the fretboard (Pau Ferro) either. I've realized I prefer an ebony or maple fretboard. All else considered for the price point it was...
Thank you. I have to say everything I play generally is from the late 70's to late 90's (currently mid 80's thru 90's mainly). I don't play much in the 2000's so it is mainly just the higher gain stuff in that period.
Thanks very much for this, one other thing. I've heard the older Rectos have a bit of fizz to them, are there any improvements that the newer Rectos have over the old ones? I know people tend to lean towards the vintage Rectos if they had to choose so just curious to see if there are any...
Thank you! I have been looking at it a bit more here. It is a cool system with a ton of flexibility. Would basically cover 90% of amps i've ever wanted to try.
So it seems like a Recto is the common answer here. That being said, the multi-watt and Badlander have been suggested. Then there are the Rev G and F which everyone raves about, although much less accessible for me to try. At least with the Badlander and the Multi-watt I can try to see if either...
Apologies for my stupidity, but when people refer to the multi-watt Rectos, are they referring to the current production line Recto? I have to do some more research on the whole Rev timeline.
I have to admit, I didn't really give much thought to where certain amps fit with the mids. Just given the limited high gain amps (especially in the boutique world) i've been able to try, it is hard to peg where the Friedman sits relative to others. I know there are hundreds of comments on the...
Interesting. I really did like the Badlander when I was able to try it. I could get a pretty good sound at any volume fairly quickly. I haven't had the opportunity to play a Rev F or Rev G Rectifier. I know there's a whole hierarchy of Rectifiers for the purists out there.
Fryette? Wizard? Any...
I was able to try the Badlander recently and I was impressed. Much easier to dial in than my Mark V 35. Aside from the vintage boogies, i'd love to try a JPC-2 as well.
