funny... been at the music store.. prob. gonna pick up the boogie v-twin pedal... and run that into my "on order" G- major effects unit... -->PA----> cab ---> mic
guessing the v-twin isnt that far off of the rectifier unit
that chain sounds very nice!... alot better than i was getting
i know what you mean about the jcm's ... they only have one sound to 'em
I have a V-Twin. It's a kick ass unit. There are some quarks about it, but you can probably work around those. For direct recording, you definitely need some sort of cabinet emulation. I use mine in front of my Marshall to add rectifer tones and in front of my Roland JC120 to add tube sounds to the Rolands prestine clean sounds.
I really need to spend more time here in the guitar forum...
I'm gonna head down town and see what Buckdancer's has got in stock today. I've been playing through that Marshall way too long and I think my ears just got numb to it.
You guys got any sound clips I could hear of your amps? No big deal if not... I just try to be really thorough in purchases.
The V-twin does not sound the same as a recto... I have a v-twin, used to have a recto. The v-twin has a creamier character to it, kind of like the vintage channel on a recto, but with less bite to it. I think it has an overall looser, laid back feel than the recto, which is more chunky and aggresive. But then, I could be talking the difference in tubes here also. I never have done any tube swapping.
