I love the 2018 multi-watt Dual Recto I have ...what else would I love???

[Orvillain]

yes yes yes. Rev F, Rev G. I know.

Other than a different Recto model or different Mesa amp... what other amps would I most likely dig??


My favourite amps ever are:
2018 multi-watt Dual Recto, obviously.
Marshall Satriani JVM
Orange Rockerverb
Diezel VH4
Fryette Sig:X
Laney VH100R

I want to love the 5150 stuff... but there is always something a bit too "metal" about them.... I'm not averse to trying out another one. But I had a 5153 50watter and hated the cleans. I had an EL34 5153 Stealth as well.... and I thought it was a bit meh overall, and I sold it only a few months after owning it.

I've had my eye on a Revv Generator MKIII amp; probably the red model... although the 4 channel with purple and red modes would be lovely too.


What else?

Mark VII???

 

[spawnofthesith]

That too

 

[MirrorProfiles]

Not sure if you’d dig a Mark although you might get on with it. Dont overlook a IV or V either, not sure the VII is going to have much benefit for you.

Friedman Naked, Dirty Shirley (if it’s not too caveman, Twin Sister could be better), BE100 DLX might be up your street.

 

[MirrorProfiles]

Uber Ultra or XTC might be cool too

Is there anything else quite like a Recto? I'd suggest there isn't?

Enjoy the bounty currently at your disposal. Dumb response. I know.

Well we all know its basically just a SLO rip off circuit sooo.....

It took schematics and Gear Forums to finally prove they sound exactly alike, too.

 

[James Freeman]

That's a nice collection of amps.
I think you can do pretty much everything tonewise from the amps, maybe invest in a Greenback loaded 4x12 to expand the sounds you can get, if you don't have one already.

haha!! That is more or less what made me start this thread!!!

Nah not dumb at all!!! Totally fair point!

Part of me is imagining:

Revv Purple - Recto/SLO kinda thing
Revv Red - 5150 kinda thing

Probably doesn't really breakdown like that though.

Hmmm.... Someone has Revv on the mind.

We need to get @Stratzrus in here to remedy that.

He seemed to suggest the Revv was kind of meh and bland,
without much of a defining character.

Yahhh but who the fuck is he?!?!?!

(I jest! I jest!)

The irony is, my interest in Revv is solely down to Line6 and their Revv models. Which to me, are the best high-gain tones on Helix.

 

[la szum]

Well, he owns a Sig X so he must know something.

 

[la szum]

Do you prefer the Helix Revv models over the ones in the Fractal, Orv?

Not anymore - sold it last year

They're very close to one another. But I find the Helix easier to dial in. Fractal might be a touch clearer because of what I assume is less aliasing or more oversampling in the model. But I really don't know exactly.
