So that's why I always sound like cr@p through a Recto. The guy who made it is obviously a tw@t.

Well, patenting other people's ideas has never seemed very gentlemanly to me, in any case :lol:

:lol:

As has been said before : at US prices, it's an interesting prospect. It'll probably sell for 1500 euro or so over here, and that's a bit steep...

Wanted to try out a PRS Studio last month. Shop assistant asked what amp I was using - as they do not stock Cornfords (Hellcat) he set me up with a Dual Rec (why?). Cleans were good but gain/distortion I can only describe as UGLY - if my Hellcat (or any of my amps) sounded like that  my first reaction would be to tear out all the valves and replace them. I have heard some great sounds from Dual Recs but, try as I may, I couldn't get one no matter where I set the controls. (was using it at a 'polite' volume as there were some other customers being served, so would probably have helped to wang it up)

Because he didn't know what the Hellcat was, didn't want to let on and took a gamble.

Listened to clips, especially the second one.
No longer want.

i actually thought the clips were alright :lol:

Maybe that's because I was so down on it from the get go, that the fact it didn't sound completely terrible meant i was pleasantly surprised? :lol:
