oo nga, sayang di ko na try. i thought hindi na kailangan ng pang boost ng mini at dual any way i was thinking of a different amp for the gain channel. pero i'm really contented with the ta for clean. sayang no time to play.

Papi, not for anything, pero for me kahit anong Mesa Amp kunin mo panalo yan! Pero sa genre mo, pasok na pasok yan Dual Rec. Murang mura sa USD800!!!

Ako maski sa Mark IV or V ko naglalagay pa din ako ng OD sa harap (Wylde Overdrive or Tube Screamer). Mas fluid at balanse ang "hair" pag may od sa harap ng amp e. Tamang timpla lang ng gains.

Maganda yung TA. Pinang test ko dati nung kumuha ako ng Recto 4x12 cab ay TA-15. Hanep! Ganda ng cleans at tamang tama ang dirt channel.

In my experience, a good selection of preamp vacuum tubes will help tame the fizz and flubbiness of the Recto. I suggest Tung-sol in V1, V2 and v3 and the rest JJs. The tung-sols will bring out the singing mids not the hairy mids. It will complement the Celestion V30 speakers. EQ-ing is also crucial as the tone controls are not the typical controls you have in other amps. They are very interactive. Out of the TMB controls, the treble control is the dominant. Bringing out the treble will make the other two contribute less. In my setup, setting the treble at 11 o clock, mids at 11 o clock, bass at 10 o clock  and presence at 2 0 clock will make it more british-ish.  Your pickups also will play an important role in tone shaping.

Wylde OD in front of the Mark IV is sounds so sweet.

Check out the Mesa tone on this....

[lolwat]

Naka-try ako ng Mark V combo sa JB Megamall the other day, at sa bait ng staff nila, pinahiram din nila yung display model nila na Ernie Ball Music Man JP6 

Luckily I had a copy of Petrucci's ch. 3 settings on my phone, which i tried to dial in. Di ko alam kung gaanong ka-swak sa tone ni JP, pero POON YEAH TUH 

although I'm used to boosting dirty signals with a tubescreamer, the Mk V didn't need any at all, especially with the guitar I was using (I was previously able to try the JP6 out, paired to a relatively medium-gain voiced amp, the Laney CUB12 head+cab the store also had available, and it easily pushed the amp to hard rock/shred-able levels of dirt!). Grabe, kung may ganun lang akong pera T_T

Next time I'll try to bring along my MI Audio Tube Zone and see if I could get the pedal's overall vibe close to the Mark V's ch. 3 response through A/B'ing with ch. 1

buti ka pa. 

pangarap ko rin magkaroon ng Mark V head or combo. kailangan ko na yata mag buhay kriminal para mabili yun.

men, kung kailangan mo ng partner in crime count me in. Gusto ko din kasi nung Triple Rectifier

[tonwins11]

I actually made a pedal clone of Mesa Boogie Dual Rec. When I was done building it and plugged it in, !@#$%^&, ang taba ng tone which I freakin' like so much. Makes me wanna own the real one. Extremes sila ng tunog ng Marshall which makes both amp unique.

Pasali. Mesa Boogie Royal Atlantic 100 head.

Last saturday lang sa guitar center. Pinag tatalunan nga sa gearpage ung amp kasi sale. I saw the amp even before somebody mentioned it in gearpage. Binili ko na. Ayun nagtatalo pa rin sila di nila alam binili ko na.
Thanks to the wife.

She also asked me to get matching cab. I've tried the standard version, pero parang mas gusto ko tunog ng RA-100 in tradional cab, which has similar specs as my Rivera K412t. I'll think about it though.

I mean yes there is a difference starting from the Celestion V30 that mesa uses vs. Typical Celestion V30 pag isipan ko. I need to hear the difference. Although my wife likes the look of matching cab

Nice! Matching cab for the win!
Pero wala yatang 4x12 cab for the RA-100 right? 2x12 lang.
Nasubukan mo na ba sa Recto Cab yang RA-100 mo?

[MYN11]

Na-miss ko na mag analog kaya sinet-up ko uli ito. Pinaliit ko na uli yung rack \m/

ganda pla kapag red

Thanks Enteng, kahit sa Amp man lang e I can pay tribute to you (knowing you're a Mesa heavy user, kulang na lang endorsement deal neto tsaka ng MM e hehehe)


@Milton,

Dude, it takes red pants and red jacket to use these red Mesa lol, take it from MYN11!

[Boxedking]

Sir Rey, pareho kayo ng nararamdaman ni Ola Englund. Nabasa ko sa FB ni Ola na though mahal nya ang AxeFx at Kemper, they just can't nail the real deal. They simulate it well but that extra 5-10% that is definitely missing. Ramdam mo daw kapag nakatayo ka sa harap ng speakers.

Oo nga magandang idea yang endorsement deal para bawas gastos hahaha!

Red Pants and Red Jacket para sa poser na tulad ko hahaha!

True yang sinabi ni Ola. Iba kasi ang reflection ng guitar cabs sa powered speakers e.

Pero sa case ko, baligtad na kami ni Ola. Sa real thing na ako nakukulangan ngayon pag ginagamit ko. Probably kasi nakababad ako lagi sa powered monitors sa studio halos buong araw dahil nga sa trabaho. Yung orientation ng ears ko nasanay na sa finished product so ang hinahanap ko na lagi is yung MASTERED/CD QUALITY outcome ng guitar sound. Mahirap talaga sanayin ang Multis plus powered speakers setup kung matagal ka nang sanay sa AMP IN THE ROOM setup.

But then again, yung mga naririnig natin at kinokopya na mga guitar sounds ay mix and mastered na. Mas madaling makuha yun through Multis kasi you are your own sound engineer. Sa analog, kahit anong timpla mo sa bahay, mababago yan kasi may technician pag dadaanan yung signal mo sa gigs. Kung magaling yung tech suwerte mo. Pag [chewbacca], you'll end up sounding "Tunog Ipis" sa labas 

Thanks to the AxeFx feature na TONE MATCH. What I did was I recorded my Mark V patches and loaded/tone matched it sa AxeFx and voila!!!! My Analog sounds in a box that I can take and fly anywhere without the hassle of bringing my tube amps.
