    Petrucci V30 Mix-like IRs

    The latest JP tones are way too dark. I agree that the best JP tones are in Suspended Animation and those were kinda our reference tones when shooting CP7. Actually those tones are the reason I bought the Mesa Traditional cab. The sm57-r121 mixes in CP7, r121 is pretty close to the center of...

    Dual Rectifier comparison (real vs axe fx)

    The speaker page is really the thing you wan't to tweak if you wan't to get recto models really work. Me and Clark Kent/Mikko/ML? tried to match recto2 everything at noon to my Roadster everything noon. All we had to do is change the lo res value and hi freg and hi res, BOOM! And we can get...

    Mesa Boogie Roadster with Mesa 4x12 Traditional Cab

    So.....I bought the roadster...again after two years :D it's ******** awesome. And now I can tweak the axe fx pretty close. Here's a clip I recorded yesterday with roadster and the second part is axe fx Recto2 tweaked as close as I can get it. Weird this is that you have to put the input...

    HIGH vs. LOW res amp sim?

    There is a clear (but small) difference. I was wondering why my new amp settings sounded different in my live patch wich has 2 amp blocks, so I did a tonematch...and.. 1 amp block is little louder and brighter, better? But the difference is still so small I don't really care.

    G3 FW18 Recto2 vs Roadster

    Yep, the real has a little more bass but the bass response is pretty close. It's REALLY hard to match the low end 100%, I'll post TM pic here how close it is. But I prefer the axe fx in comparison because you don't need that much bass anyway in gtr tones :)

    G3 FW18 Recto2 vs Roadster

    YEAH! :D awesome! so 7 it is! For me it's THE IR, is kinda dark but it has great (best) sounding "phase" and works really well in recording and it's "ear friendly" when using IEM for monitoring like we do.

    Oh and I don't really care anymore if it's 99,9% close and not 100%. It's so close and FEELS awesome just like is should so I can settle down and just PLAY the instrument and make good music :) ...and I'm sure I you have two different Roadsters side by side there would be bigger difference...

    Yep same thing... Recto1 modern actually does NOT clip that much MV at 4.0. But yeah the palm mute notes are BS and clip at default setting even the bass knob is f.ex 2.0 It's not really a problem because lowering the MV brings it back to life but default settings shouldn't be at values that...

    The range is the same actually. Mesa MK IV eQ is +/- 12dB as well as Axe FX II 5-band eQ. Once I understood this, you get the mark sound working. I did new tonematch comparisons with real MK IV and the TM eQ was pretty much flat... It just "feels" different on a real MK eQ because the knobs...
