Im really loving the third eye blind guitar sound. Basically, I like the write songs in alternate tunings so i can make big chords.
I like the heavy sound with these tunings. My amp right now is just not meant for distortion. But at the same time i want a good almost Chimey clean sound
Has anyone here used this? Or does anyone know of where I can listen to an example of it being used.
My dilemma resides in the fact that I live in an apratment building and that using a half-stack or combo amp is pretty much out of the question. I find that great recto sound usually comes out when the amp is turned up pretty loud, and hey, I don't really want to be evicted.
A live sound guy in Delhi just got his rig a Mesa Boogie 3 channel Dualrectifier solo head with a 4x12 Recto slant cabnit (must be the cheaper version).
Hi there, this is my first posting to the forums although i have read and enjoyed many of the topics covered here, over the last year or so.
i am an electronics novice.
i have managed to build a simple "full wave rectifier" using four diodes.
but, could i get a better sounding one using a vacum tube?
I currently own a Marshall AVT150/AVT4x12 and Fender customized Strat. I'm looking into buying a Mesa Rectifier half-stack for myself to play, and also to furnish my studio. I do however have a question. Im hoping to fill the gap in my knowledge of things here. I am almost positive that the Triple Rec(150W) head is overkill and pretty much a waste of the extra $$.
After doing some research using the knowledge that I gained from my last topic I have decided to record guitar using a Mesa Boogie Rectifier but now the question is...which one? The single,dual, or tripple.
I'm thinking of sticking some EL34's in a dual rectifier to see how it sounds on recordings. I'm going for something between modern/vintage sound. Anyone using this setup? Or maybe some other types of tubes in a dual rectifier? How will this sound? I've never used the EL34.
thanks!
MAN O MAN! what a LOUD amp. I would prefer recording a loud marshall, for sure, even tho I love the way it sounds. I can not seem to capture the GRIT of this amp. I am direct Micing it in the middle of the speaker with a 421, and off axis with a 57. Anyone tackle this beast before? I know I can capture the POWER and GRIT this beast has SOMEHOW! Omni?
HEY HEY HEY
I have a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier Solo Head (three times fast). How should I set it up to record direct, without the speaker sound? I want to record late at night and reamp when I can make some noise. I know you shouldn't use it without a load on the speaker output (I almost blew it up while accidently trying it, but it's ok now).
