Have you actually tried a V 25? Through a 4 X 12 , the half way mark of the volume control would blow the roof and windows out of your house, It's louder then my ENGL preamp through the MESA 2:100 power amp. Don't get me wrong , I am sure the V 35 is as equally as awesome, but I could not...

An Eventide H9 goes a long way with my Mark V 25.

I play in a 2 guitar band, Metal(thrash) we are older and have spent years ruining our ears with loud amps, so we jam very loud. I had not expected the amp to be able to cut through at rehearsal, but it does, and laughs while doing it. It's more than loud enough for any scenario, Don't let the...

I've never once heard of James or Kirk using G-Majors in any of there rigs.

For Rec Recording Pre Channel - Vintage(fine on modern too). Gain -1- 2:00(to taste) Treble - 11:00 Mid- 12-2:00 Bass - 2:00 Presence - 8:00 or to taste( i prefer it almost off) Master - to Taste This is through a power amp/cab not direct. I have found the treble dial is the key to all...

I use it with the 20/20. Its a killer setup that wont break your back. I've never had any problems at all with volume restrictions. Never had it past 12:00, its dam loud for a little unit. Only disadvantage is no kind of voicings like you get in the 2:100 / 2:90. But if you are happy with the...

Agree with the above, Mid Range is going to make you cut through. You have to find your live sound when playing with the band. You'll never get it right trying to figure it out solo. You're always going to share some space with other members in the band so you need to compensate when they are...

Yep that would do it. Keeping your dry tone always present is the main reason for separating your effects, and it is the best way to go if you can set it up without too much hassle.

There are numerous different ways you can set this up, its just finding what works best for you. The best set up I had with this really required 2 cabinets. This way you can completely split the signal by sending a completely dry signal to one and the wet signal to another. You can do the same...

Really depends on what you are trying to do. I have a Zoom G92.TT MFX. It has great stomp box effects that I can use through the clean channel to create a wide variety of different overdrive tones while I can keep channel 2 on the Mesa Pre reserved for my main distortion sound. I can use the...

I find the settings on the pre a bit more sensitive but still the same tonal characteristics of the Dual Rec head(lots of mids and treble to play with). There is a bright switch and and -3DB switch as well near the gain controls. The warm setting should only be used when recording direct. If...

My Standard is a Mesa 2X12 Recto Cab but I often run it through a Marshall 4 X 12 as well, sounds great through either though I prefer the mesa cab. .. 2 X 12 Comes stock with V30's.

I am currently running a Recto pre through a 20/20 and the sound is awesome and more then loud enough. I have heard it run through the 2:100 many times and although the extra voicing in the 2:100 do add some extra punch it is not a night/day kind of difference. You would be more then happy with...

Yes the have a fixed BIAS. Nothing to adjust just pop in the new tubes.

Very nice clip! Thats closer to the tone that I get from the Recto Pre.(through a power amp)not direct.
