Thanks man, appreciate the practical response. I'll never be mic'ed up at gigs, so the sound of the cabinet will be playing an important role. Hearing myself will be critical since we'll also have no monitoring system. The Mark V is plenty loud and could easily swallow up the whole band, but...

Hey all! So I'm a couple of months into my Mark V ownership and I'm really happy thus far. I currently have a Mesa 2x12 and it sounds lovely. However I recently joined a band where I will be the only guitar player in a 4 piece combo and I am definitely going to need to fill a lot of tonal...

I bought my Mark V on Monday last week and since then I've played an open mic and full gig with my band and spent several hours at a friend's house today just jamming. All I can say is that this amp is everything I'd hoped for and more. All three channels are the best in its class. And having...

Hi, I recently purchased an early 90's 2x12 horizontal Rectifier cab. Sounds absolutely amazing. Also weighs a metric ton. But, good tone always comes at a price. :) I wanted to pick up a set of the Mesa Trak-Loc removable casters to make transporting a bit less cumbersome. What size...

After playing dozens of "boutique" amps over the past 10 or so years, I would classify the DR cleans as definitely usable, but certainly not the strong point of the amp. To be fair to the Dual Rec, tubes and speakers make a HUGE difference. Many players (including myself) choose tubes and...

On my 3-channel Dual Rec, for leads I use the Orange channel in vintage mode. Here are my favorite settings: Gain - 7 Bass - 4 Mid - 4 Treble - 6 Presence - 6 Power - Spongy Rectifier - Tube This is direct into the amp - no pedals. The best part about these settings is that when I switch...

I will say this... Sometimes it's not the amp, but the other items in the signal chain, that impact how well an amp cuts. I found that some guitars in my arsenal just always seem to stand out. Also speakers play a big part. I know lots of folks (myself included) like the Vintage 30's. When...

Noisy pedals? Ground loop in the power chain is usually the culprit. One thing I learned when using 9-volt power supplies is to look for isolated (class 2) supplies. Non-isolated tend to create noise in certain setups. Also if you have pedals both in front of your amp and in the effects...

Hey all. Anyone in the South Jersey area that would like to check out my band, we'll be at the Library II in Voorhees. My band plays a lot of classic and modern rock. Looking forward to cranking the DR!! Wicked Cricket - NJ's Premier Rock & Party Band...

Very slick! Very clean, crisp rhythm tone.

Maybe Mrs. Petrucci? :)

Nice! Which guitar was that?

Green: Clean Orange & Red: Vintage I keep the gain on the Orange channel at about 1 o'clock, just shy of that point where it gets really saturated. This is a great rhythm tone and can get nice and nasty when it needs to for solos. On the Red channel the gain is about 3 o'clock and this is...

That's the Koch LoadBox? Nice! Just a quick question > If the LoadBox provides a speaker simulated tone why did you need to run the signal into GuitarRig?

Take the fuzz pedal out of the loop. It belongs in front of the amp.

The JJ High Gain re-tube kit Mark IV is a nice choice. I found it helped me milk a little bit more gain from the Lead channel. However be advised that when run at really high gain settings, the Mark IV will eat preamp tubes for breakfast. I usually get at least 12 months out of a good 12AX7...

Hey, this is a question for all you guys out there that have recorded your Dual or Triple Rec, or even your RK. I've been doing home recording for about five years, and I've recorded a bunch of amps that all sounded really nice. My most recent amps were three Riveras (Rake, Suprema...

Some folks mod the loop, change it from parallel to series.

Having said this, I now realize that both my guitars are signature models. :roll: :wink:

That is fantastic, bro'. Not only is the timing nice and tight, but the tones are really slick. Great job!
