Re: M/B Dual Rectifier- Red Channel or Orange?

Ryan	Re: M/B Dual Rectifier- Red Channel or Orange? Tom, thanks for respecting my opinions, I did get kind of harsh there. Maybe it's my cab that makes the difference, I mainly use a Mesa haflback cab with some weird speakers I've only seen is this cab ("Celestion G-100"'s, and Mesa speakers that only have a pic of a Knight carrying a Mesa flag and say "MS-4"). I've tried a Soldano cab, a VHT, Marshall cabs, other Mesa cabs, but nothing gets this tone. It's all a matter of opinion I suppose And wow!, I'm a high gain freak and I never put the gain knob past 11:00 (maybe it's the pickups... Dimarzio X2N's). By the way, I'd heard really bad things about the Sovtek 12AX7LPS in this amp (any high gain amp for that matter)... said they went micro., which posistions do you have 'em in? Cheers, -Ryan
