The recto and any old Mark series will work. I have a rectoverb and MKIIC. If you are going to be chasing the best possible tone out of the recto, boost it for tighter chug. I have ran a recto with a DSL and MKIIC, it is indeed the great combination of two dissimilar but complimentary amps...

I would lead toward a different amp. The MKV can cover all the nice Rectifier tones with one pedal. D a search for Wampler Triple Wreck. Monster pedal. I have a rectifier and use that pedal with little combo amps when I go to little jam sessions when I want some versatility.

I had a MKV and got rid of it. It was a fair bit of amp modeling of great Boogie amps, but fell short. I still have my MKIIC. What the MKV had as the MKIIC mode fell short. I am hearing you on the Recto. I still have my Rectoverb and love it. A Recto just kills for chugging riffs...

If you like lead playing, I would steer away from Rectifier based amps. They are awesome chugging amps. Killer. A crappy boost pedal makes them insane. They often have a great clean channel. For a lead player the Mark series amps are often the magic bullet. A MKIV is a liquid lead type...

There is a decent overdrive boost pedal called the Blue Note. It can help get you to a good bit of burn without grain. I have a MKIIC with GEQ, reverb, simulclass. As others have mentioned, it is a pretty unique amp. I have been collecting NOS and regular used preamp tubes for years. They...

I have a few guitars of each construction. There is no best guitar or neck setting. I tele sounds better to me with a bolted neck. Strat too.. That is for blues and such. For rock, I have a few glued necks I like. Neck thru metal oriented guitars with actives. I think it gets down...

I would try the volume pedal up front. I used to use my guitar volume knob for swells. And that is up front :lol: I hated my MKV. Sold it for a bit of a loss and I have no love for the KMV.... But the loop? It was fine. I used a Wah and volume pedal up front with no issues.

Steve actually sent something to Myles to sign by fed ex, signed it himself, then shipped it to me. As legitimate rock stars, I must say they are straight up guys. Very cool to see and chat with the people that paid the price of being a full time music slave and bring us the music. I have...

The somewhat secret replacement? Steve Wagner when he filled on for Joe Perry on Aerosmith album. The leads in Train Kept a Rollin are far beyond anything on any other Aerosmith album. When I heard that song, even I could tell that was not the band guitarist. He played that one song on the...

It sounds like active pups into the amp in vid. May be a boost as well. It does not sound like normal passive pick ups into a stock amp to me.

I saw Metallica the lat time thru ATL. The tone was just amazing. The live production crew did a great job brining chest thumping bass and mids that cut. For good rectifier tone, and me being more of a player than tweaker, I feel like the Recto sounds different and better up good and loud...

I never got to see them. I was able to chat with Steven Segal, guitarist for a bit. Very cool. They did some cool stuff with layers and basic riffs that morphed into complex things. I like the raw guitar sound. In a vid I see an old Boogie head. Great guitar tones. A great band. The...

I have a jvm410 and I used to have a MKV. I like the old DSL100 best of the three. My gripe on the JVM is that the value dropped like a rock. cant even get $1000 for the thing used now. it was 2499 new. I know some like the MKV, I just did not vibe with it like my other Boogies. The MKV...

Killer cleans and blues on tap in that amp.

Ha! Man I can identify with your post on great cleans. I rarely say it, but I chose to buy the MKIIC I have because of the clean channel. I push it a but to edge of breakup, but it is just phenomenal. The awesome guitar tone in the Robert Plant song Big Log is that great Mesa cleanish...
