Wow, if I had the cash, I would have been all over that. Good luck with the sale!

For the kind of music you're playing, I'd go with the Recto pre. I love mine. :D

I can't help you with the tubes, but one of my favourite rock distortions is the dirty channel on "Raw" mode pushed by my Zakk Wylde overdrive pedal. If you have a decent OD pedal like a SD-1 or something, try it out. Channel 2 "Raw" Gain: 1 o'clock Treble: 1:30 Mids: 1 o'clock Bass: 10 o'clock...

What, you're giving up on it? After that long email I sent you? :(

They sell those cables at Addison's here in Montreal for $3.

Wow. Thanks! :D I hope you enjoy the pre as much as I have been!

Thanks! :D

Here's another - a clip of the clean channel: http://www.bedroomstudio.net/media/rectopre/clean.mp3

Nice! 8) Now make it longer. :P

Here you go: http://www.bedroomstudio.net/media/rectopre/asiam-gainy.mp3 Using JP's live settings back from when he used a Recto - basically the same settings as me, but with less bass and more gain, like you asked. :P I kept the post-EQ'ing the same, so you could compare the two more easily.

Yeah, I suppose I could look at that tonight or tomorrow. I checked out Petrucci's old Recto settings, mine weren't that far off! :D Just needed more gain, a bit less treble and bass. I see if I can get another clip up tomorrow.

Thanks for this, dude. One of the tubes on my Channel 2 sounds like it's shot (clean channel is uneffected), so you just saved me from changing them all for nothing. :D ... I'll probably wind up changing them with JJ/Teslas anyways. Thanks for the info, though! :)

Crate GX-15. Ugh. :oops:

Thanks! :D Playing an Ibanez SZ 520 with stock Duncan-design pickups directly into the Recto pre. I had it set to Channel 2 modern, gain at about 1 o'clock, treble at 4 o'clock, mids at 3 o'clock, bass at noon, presence at 8:30. Post EQ'ing on one track was a scooped setting with boosted highs...

Kind of late, but here's a rhythm clip I just made. I got the Recto pre yesterday, and I'm loving it so far. Recto pre recording outs direct into a Motu 828mkII. http://www.bedroomstudio.net/media/rectopre/asiam.mp3 Production isn't the best, but it'll give you an idea. Pardon the sloppy...
