PRS Custom 24 Heavy Tones (Part 3 - Mesa Dual Rectifier)

This post will detail my PRS Custom 24 through a full bore Mesa Dual Rectifier.  The signal chain is pretty much the same as my previous entry around the Mesa Mini (pedals, mics, etc).  The main difference is that I am using a Mesa Recto 4x12 instead of the 2x12.  For the rhythm part I am using Red Modern, and the "lead" Orange Vintage.  The back of the amp is set to Bold with Diode Rectification.

PRS Custom 24 Heavy Tones (Part 2 - Mesa Mini Recto)


Welcome to part 2 of my PRS Custom 24 tone profiles.  This time I am going to play the same riffs in part one through a Mesa Mini Rectifier and Mesa 2x12 cabinet.  All clips are using Channel 2 Modern.  The setup is as follows: PRS Custom 24 into Boss NS-2 gate, Protone Misha Mansoor sig OD for boost, Mini Recto, Recto cabinet with an off axis Shure SM57 and on axis Sennheiser MD 421.

In the Mini Recto loop I am using an ISP Decimator to take care of any extra hiss, as well as a TC Electronic Flashback Delay for the "lead" part.

PRS Custom 24 Heavy Tones (Part 1 - Marshall JVM)


This begins a series of entries around my 2011 PRS Custom 24 - specifically for heavier tones.  I will play the same basic riffs (and crappy improvised solos) into each of my amps to get a feel for how the guitar sounds recorded through my camera and mic setup.

PRS Custom 24
The first amp recorded is the Marshall JVM 205h - through a Marshall 1960a with T-75s and V30s in an "X" pattern.  The mics used are a Shure SM57 and a Sennheiser MD421.  The amp channel used is OD Green, boosted with my MXR Classic OD.  The "Solo" parts have some delay on them provided by the MXR Carbon Copy.
