BTW, I'm assuming that's "Mids at 3 o'clock" rather than 3 out of 10.

Tell him to be careful with it. If he looks at the amp wrong or a fly lands on any of the knobs, they'll turn and he'll lose that sound forever.

I never found Rectos to be THAT hard to dial in.

They're not that hard to get a good sound from them, once you get a feel for the controls.

However, going from a "good" sound to "THE" sound will probably drive you crazy. :lol:

Not only that, but "THE" sound at home/lower volume and "THE" sound at the gig are two very different things :lol:

Yeah I always had trouble getting a good tone out of the dual/triple recs. It seemed to saturate too much under high gain and get muddy on the low strings. I probably just didn't spend enough time when I was demoing it, cause I didn't flip any switches or stuff in the back to mess around with it. I just got the ENGL instead because I feel that it sounds good at any EQ setting, and it was easy to get sounding great.

Which is funny, because I had the exact same complaint about the Powerball that you have with the Recto :lol:

Gotta love subjective stuff like tone.
