I know I spoke pretty early. But to this point I think the only song here I really "don't like" in Man Unkind. For myself, i have to be in just the right listening mood for Justice these days. While the songs on Hardwired are also long, to my ears they aren't nearly as tedious to get through as...

Their best record in over 25 years IMO. To my ears it knocks Justice out of the top 4. James' best guitar and vocal work in many years. The god-like riffage is back. Really nice harmony guitar parts. Rob is the most visible he's ever been. Lars just turned in his best performance since the 80's...

I'd love to see what you're using for settings. I have a series one Single Rec that I love. I'm not playing with anybody right now so for me it's your typical scooped tone in the man cave. I tend to prefer Vintage over Modern for high gain stuff. I run it through a closed back Avatar 2x12 with...

Best wishes from me as well. Take care of yourself.

Yeah i've heard the term "Mesa month" thrown around with regard to how long it takes to get to know them as far as learning to dial them in right. I'm kinda struggling a bit with my Single Recto right now in getting that modern metal "recto" tone that i'm after. I think it's a combination of not...

You don't by chance live in South Florida do you? Reason I ask is because I've been watching one haphazardly on Craigslist that was going for $800 and it's suddenly off the board. Way too much power for my needs but I was curious how long that was going to be around at that price and it hung...

I have no switching issues to speak of on my own series one.

Sounds like you got a better deal than I did. I paid $800 for mine and it's a series one. But I had money burning a hole in my pocket as well as my first Mesa amp within sight. Couldn't find one cheaper on ebay or Craigslist so I went ahead with it. Can't complain, the thing sounds great even at...

Seems practicality is starting to win out a bit these days in some circles with smaller wattage amps like the Mini Recto, Engl Gigmaster, or Orange Terror series. If I hadn't picked up the Single Recto I was going to go with a Mini Recto or Gigmaster 30 and run it through my 4x12 cab. I saw some...

I also just picked up a Single Recto head (series one) a few weeks ago. Loving it so far. I had used my MXR 10 band eq in the effects loop when i first got it but decided the tones I was getting plugged straight in were just fine. Only thing I have in the loop is a shimverb pedal for clean...

I've always felt that Metallica is a band that has very seldom been recorded in live situations in a way that truly represents how the band (especially the guitars) sounds from the perspective of being in the crowd, and they sound huge live. For me their tone always sounds so small and thin in...
