Got this yesterday.

Love it!

Became evident right quick that there are a million setting you can use, please share some of your favorites.

Congrats!!!!! looks super clean, HNAD!! rectos are so killer.

everyone's settings are going to vary based on guitar/pickups, boost, cab/speakers, etc but the good news is that they are generally pretty easy amps to make sound good. dont go overboard with the bass and gain bc there is a ton of both haha. treble interplays with the gain a lot too. maybe if you have a loop pedal try looping a riff and then tweaking knobs so you can hear what they are doing in real time.

Thank you.

This amp doesn't have a scratch. Very very happy as I bought unseen and shipped a long way.

Red/Modern/Diodes and gain set around 1 o'clock, bass set low... that's instant gratification with a Recto, you will immediately get what you bought it for. Boost with TS9/SD1 and it goes into "head explodes" territory right away. The other knobs to taste.

Great amp. Congratulations!!

Thank you!

I played it today for about 45 min through a 4x12. Wow. Addictive amp, so fun, easy to play!

I think eating Ramen noodles for next few months will be worth it

It's a classic for a reason. Killer amp!! And as musician, the question is never IF you have to eat Ramen noodles. It's always WHEN and for HOW LONG.

Enjoy the Recto and get through the noodles. We've all been there (and will be again!).

Hell yeah dude. As others have said, most problems with recto tones start with “bass too high” lol

Congrats on the new amp!
