2203 cuts more even on standbyIs a triple rec bigger/louder than a 2203? Or does a 2203 cut more because of mids?

Haha is the the EQ curve or what?2203 cuts more even on standby
EQ curve and less compression in the 2203 are why IMOHaha is the the EQ curve or what?
You can make them sound good af though . Fr : but it’s one great tone .but ya it can be great boosted .and string settings and gate3 channels, non multi watt version. You’re good with everything else IMO.
Compression . Less compression and pure roarHaha is the the EQ curve or what?
Had the same experience with the Soldano mod for Marshall’s. My bandmate had an 800 2203 with Soldano’s extra tube, gain mod and it just ripped. The gain sounded like a pure extension of the amp and was a rock n roll machine. I got the same mod done to a ‘78 2203 I’d had for 10 years (so was a little bored with it) and it just didn’t come even close to the other guitarists 800. I thought they would tune it for the amp but it was obvious they just dump in the mod with the same values, little prebuilt board etc and call it good. I sold the amp within a month.Funny you should ask. My friend Paul had a killer 2C+. It just dripped tone. This was when I have a few 2C++ heads (long before the current rage), so naturally we both thought it would be incredible with a ++ mod. When he got it back the amps sucked. It just lost everything it had. We were both talking about that amp today. I like Mike B, but he just does a standard mod and there is no guarantee it will come out good...even if the underlying amp sounds killer before the mod.
Even though SLO and 2ch rectos are the same preamp.. the difference in power amp makes them totally different sounding ampsThis one. I bought it because I’ve read so much on forums that it’s the original Dual Recto. I didn’t sound anything like Korn!

It's Pre-Gibson.I like my 3ch non-multiwatt recto, sounds like a natural disaster, rattles the walls more than any other amp I’ve played. I think it’s from 2004. I never use the loop though (it’s truely awful), and mostly stick to channel 2 modern. Channel 3 modern only sometimes sounds good to me, when I’m in the mood for the extra-aggressive sound it has. I also like the cleans but I’m hardly a picky person about cleans.
The oldest of these amps are almost 25 years old, get ready for everyone to love them when they become vintage.
To my knowledge, the only difference between orange and red modern on this amps is the taper of the presence pot. Sp basically, having the presence of red at 9-10 o’clock should bring you in orange territory?I like my 3ch non-multiwatt recto, sounds like a natural disaster, rattles the walls more than any other amp I’ve played.

I know. I was trying to be funny.Even though SLO and 2ch rectos are the same preamp.. the difference in power amp makes them totally different sounding amps
The presence r/c filter is slightly different as well, 22k resistor vs 33k resistor on channel 2.To my knowledge, the only difference between orange and red modern on this amps is the taper of the presence pot.

I have a similar story with my first C+....which I found at a GC in upstate NY as a 2C SRG combo. When I got the amp, I gigged with it right away and was blown away with the tone...it was so rude, raw and vicious it took the teeth from a White Shark. Had this amazing clarity and feel....so, of course I thought after the + mod it would be even better! And, I HAD to mod it to a C+ right??Funny you should ask. My friend Paul had a killer 2C+. It just dripped tone. This was when I have a few 2C++ heads (long before the current rage), so naturally we both thought it would be incredible with a ++ mod. When he got it back the amps sucked.

They’ve recorded with 2 channels exclusively to my knowledge. I’ve seen studio pics of Gs, but I know Rob has Fs that he uses and have seen him use his F live before in person.Anyone know which recs Cannibal Corpse runs?
