And once I got used to the amp it wasn't a problem at all dialing it in. Just had a steep learning. Curve. 5150 have no learning curve cuz they have one sound. They do that one sound awesome but still one sound.

I'd go for the Recto for sure. Definitely the best of the four, followed by the 5150. The DSL has one decent sound (green crunch), and the rest is shit.

If I had the ability to trade for one, I would have gone for the Recto, and if it wasn't my thing, I'd of sold it and bought another amp and made some money. Always wanted a recto though . . .

Do you know what time it is? It's time to FARK SHEET ARRRRRP!!

Keep this in mind when you make the trade. Especially the "rest is shit" part.

He's trying to tell you not to get a DSL.

What is wrong with the red channels? They sounds pretty late eighties to me, which I like.

As someone who has owned or played a lot through all three of the amps you've got on the table there, just get either of the other ones that aren't the DSL.
