So I got my dual recto a couple years back when I was playing in a loud, dirty punk/metal cowboy trio. It was the right amp for the sound.
I no longer play anything like that. I'm a little older now and mostly stick with blues and classic rock and don't gig as much so having several loud amps isn't necessary.
I'm looking to sell my Fender Twin reissue and use the money to buy a new cabinet and possibly make any some other changes. I like the idea of the flexibility the recto offers and I like the 50 watt option however I haven't been able to totally dial in a sound I like.
Here's my question, and my thoughts so far:
Is there a 2x12 cabinet that will help highlight the non-metal aspects of the amp? I don't need the tight lows or fizz in the highs.
I'm thinking about an Avatar 2x12 open back with greenback speakers. Is this a good option?
Are there better tube options for blues/rock sound? I noticed some people recommend El34s?
The cabinet I'm running now is an old Peavey 412 with the metal grill and Sheffield speakers -- I ran out of money after buying the recto head
Thanks.
