[therage!]

Anyone use one of these....http://www.mesaboogie.com/Product_In...ctoPreAmp.html

Wonder if they would be any good for recording direct?

You've got one?

I want to hear it!!

I've been using amp modelling when recording and I'm just not that satisfied with it. Have you done any recording with it? Do you use it with a Mesa power amp?
Details please.

I'm using it direct:

Recto Pre > TC Electronic G-Force (not in effect loop) > soundcard

Hang on, I'll do something. Gimme 5.

Just don't laugh LOL...he he.

Well, this is just dry Recto Pre, sorry for the semi-improvised guitar playing.

The noise - is my TV, the Boogie is quiet as possible without my TV on.

Cool....

That's kind of what I wanted to hear, something other than the typical rectified sound. I'm sure it can get the "Everything in Rock today has to have the same recto sound" right? I want that sound for some things but I want other sounds too. This pre might be just the thing I'm looking for.

feel free to post more material.

Thanks!

Ya, it seems to do everything from clean to very Rectifier. The setting I have for that thing above is: gain about 12:30, treble half, mid half, bass about 2 o'clock, presence about 11 o 'clock, master at about 9:30, set to Modern.

It's a great 'heavy' preamp, but the truth is I'm not using that sound very often cuz it sounds so good everywhere else.

Ya got six options, 3 clean, 3 progressive dirtys.

I'm just getting into recording after a long, long break, so I'm really having a time with Sonar etc., not much to post. I have a cheesy couple of tunes started, if you want other sounds, no songs yet, just farting aroung to try and get used to all this new gear:
