Thanks man! And yeah, I can see how you'd wanna keep that one immaculate - Rev E, g'****! :shock: (mine was a Rev G, though one of the early ones with the attached power cord, different labeling on the speaker outs, etc. - still a large logo and parallel loop though)

Thanks man - and yeah, those deals can be enticing, but man, I'm definitely hesitant to extend myself even more credit-wise; I'm holding it down with my current balances so far, but only just barely! :shock:

Yeah, I can definitely imagine it just wouldn't react the same as a good tube head in a live setting, but man, the convenience and reliability seem like pretty big advantages! I've actually been using LePou's SoloC and Nick Crow's 8505 as my main ampsims, they're pretty sweet (and free 8) )...

Just digital ampsims and cab impulses unfortunately (had to sell my rig for financial reasons :() - hardly the same awesomeness factor, but they actually can sound pretty good!

Thanks dude! Honestly, I barely ever used channel 1, so I can't say for certain, but I'd probably have the treble and bass up a bit higher for Vintage mode (I think those are left over from when I was messing with cloning the red to the orange, but found I still preferred modern red) And yeah...

Hi guys, thought you fellow Boogie-fiends might dig the tunes on an EP I just finished up. The band/project is called APEX PREDATOR, and you can listen to the Undivided EP at http://www.myspace.com/apexpredatormetal or download it for free here...

Bought mine in mint condition for $480 on craigslist! (from Richard Z of Rammstein no less 8) )

Not me :D Pretty sure that's the kicker there, cuz while I did think they were close, to me the differences actually were most apparent in the lower mids, in favor of the Mesa (the Mills just felt a little unpleasanlty dense there IMO)

Thought some folks might be interested in this http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/equipment/545285-mills-afterburner-cab-vs-mesa-recto-cab.html

Perhaps V30s weren't necessarily the source of your complaints with the sound in at least a few of those circumstances? I find them to sound quite smooth, especially in a Recto cab 8)

Oh yeah, and Jens Bogren used Dual Rec through a Marshall MF400 cab w/ G12K100's for the rhythm tone on Opeth's Ghost Reveries, which I've always loved (so crunchy), so I really wanna get a K100 to try in my Recto cab. And I've never played through a cab with Greenbacks, so I'm quite curious to!

All the clips I've heard of C90s do indeed sound like they're quite a bit more scooped than V30s, but IMO the downside of that is everything that goes through them sounds like it was recorded in San Francisco, circa 1985 - I guess some people dig this, but I personally do not, I much prefer the...

Roadster can definitely get as heavy and saturated as you will EVER need, trust me on that (and of course a Tube Screamer-type pedal is mandatory IMO, not for adding any extra drive but just for thinning some of the lows before the input signal to tighten them up) - I've played them and heard...

Depends on what style you wanna play, but if it's anything remotely metal, Class A and 4x10" speakers are a pretty crappy combination IMO! :(

I think it's far smarter to play with a cab that will get the sound pointing directly at your ears so you can know what the audience is hearing (and of course be able to hear yourself better), so I vote Recto Standard (Oversized) Slant without a doubt!
