    Single / Dual / Triple Rectifier

    With all due respect and thanks to all the other posters on this thread (and I have learned quite a bit that I didn't expect to learn - keep it comming), there is a shining ray of sunshine that shines down upon this post for directly getting at the one narrow concept I had in mind. :D

    Single / Dual / Triple Rectifier

    Well, since the 30th seems to be something that is hard to find (I looked on Ebay and there's only one blue tolex available, but it's a combo), how about a clip of that one. As to others, well, how about a TSL?

    Single / Dual / Triple Rectifier

    Awesome. Please do. Thanks for posting these clips! As long as this thread has become a Marshall sound / Mesa sound thread (I feel like Dr. Frankenstein - "It's aliiiiiivvee!!!"), anyone out there care to post a clip or two showcasing Marshall?

    Single / Dual / Triple Rectifier

    Yeah, I appreciate that. But no matter what anyone says, a Mesa is going to be on my final list. As will a Marshall. And after that, my own ears will make my decision. And then I can join in on the piss fights. :D

    Single / Dual / Triple Rectifier

    I was kinda hoping this wouldn't turn into a which brand is best thread. There are people who swear by Marshall. There are people who swear by Mesa. There are people who swear by [insert your favorite brand here]. And while I'm very interested in soliciting opinions on amp brands, for this...

    Single / Dual / Triple Rectifier

    Yeah, most likely, my "new" amp would be a used amp off ebay. Great deals on equipment in good shape there. But to make my decision, I need to walk into a store and try some out. So, when I walk in with my limited time, do I just ask for the single or do I first compare the single, dual...

    Single / Dual / Triple Rectifier

    Honestly, I haven't settled on an amp yet. But I'm trying to narrow down within brands so I don't waste my time. I'm also trying to decide if it is worth it to get a tube amp at all. Everything I've read indicates that if you don't turn it up, you don't get the "real" sound of the amp. I...

    Single / Dual / Triple Rectifier

    In Mesa's Rectifier amp series, is there any difference between the Single/Dual/Triple amps other than the wattage (50/100/150 respectively)? If the wattage is the only difference, do they still sound the same? If they still sound the same, then is someone like me who plays predominantly...

    Recording distorted guitars... dead horse beaten again...

    I was having the same type of problem you are having - SM57, try different positions - sound comes out shrill and tinny. Finally, I tried placing the mic way down low - almost touching the floor, an inch or so away from the speaker cab, and the recorded sound went from tinny to full. I had a...

    device in use... a little help?

    "Perpetual Newbie" Awesome tag-line!!! I don't have an answer for you, but it's not just you. I have been experiencing the same thing myself. If I open Sonar and then open Windows Media Player, Media Player can't play because Sonar is in use. But if I open Media Player first, and then open...

    Home recording

    Just be carefull with which small digital recorder you get. I started out that way, myself, and got the Korg PXR-4. Neat little box, but it was so darn hard to use because the menus were all embedded. I just could never find anything without flipping back and forth with the manual. I...

    new VH rumour for those who care ...

    Could be. Another possibility, early in the tour (like when they went through Massachusetts), Valerie and Wolfgang were with them. With Valerie and Wolfie around, he may have been able to (and would have more incentive to) stay clean and on his game.

    new VH rumour for those who care ...

    I saw him when VH came through Massachusetts and they put on a great show. I was thrilled. I guess I got lucky. :(

    Guitar World's Guitar Design Contest Winners

    I'm no luthier, but that was the same thought I had when I saw the spider design. Cool, but ouch.

    Wheres the search button?

    Half the value of this forum is using the search function to find discussions. If you think there are too many "what's the best mic" threads now, think of it without the search function. :)

    Vocal Mic Recommendations

    Since we seem to be getting some Rode responses on this thread, what do people think of the Rode NT1A?

    A band reunion after 41 years, DJL, and life in general.

    Dang, Harvey, I'm brand new here, and you've already taught me more than you can ever know. You leaving would be a huge huge loss. :(
