Yeah. That kinda shocked me. Honestly if I think of the guitar tone of 00s radio rock (buttrock) I think of a PRS with EMG's running into a tube screamer into a rectifier with the mids scooped, then heavily processed with lots of compression and a very heavy noise gate. The usual result of this was the infamous "static" guitar tone. Which was basically a guitar tone with no note definition and just sounded like static at different pitches. When I heard that's what Doug used, my first response was "so that's what a rec sounds like in the hands of someone who doesn't chug monster energy"redchapterjubilee wrote: ↑Tue Nov 10, 2020 6:10 amOne of the delights of seeing Guided By Voices live for the past 20 years has been watching Doug Gillard coax excellent cleans to big dirt tones from his Dual Rectifier half stack. Certainly changed my mind about what those amps are about and what a variety of players can accomplish with one.
Also, Jeff Buckley, REM, Radiohead use/used Mesas ,not just for chuggers.s_mcsleazy wrote: ↑Sun Nov 15, 2020 7:34 amYeah. That kinda shocked me.

I owned a mesa trem-o-verb. was in a space rock band with huge clean sounds, pedal heavy synth type pads, reverbs, and smooth gain. that amp did it all very well.redchapterjubilee wrote: ↑Tue Nov 10, 2020 6:10 amOne of the delights of seeing Guided By Voices live for the past 20 years has been watching Doug Gillard coax excellent cleans to big dirt tones from his Dual Rectifier half stack.

vibrolux is so good. I've got a chassis to build a brownface vibrolux after the new year.BoringPostcards wrote: ↑Sat Dec 05, 2020 11:43 pmI have been GASsing for a Vibrolux Reverb for years.
They're always hard to find, or the price is crazy.
I love the clean tone on them, and they sound particularly good with Jazzmasters and Jaguars.
Bandmate plays a Mustang through a silverface one. Great sounding combination.BoringPostcards wrote: ↑Sat Dec 05, 2020 11:43 pmI have been GASsing for a Vibrolux Reverb for years.

Yea, they sound great with all the Offsets. They give them a big tone. Especially the version with the 15" speaker.marqueemoon wrote: ↑Tue Dec 08, 2020 6:28 pmBandmate plays a Mustang through a silverface one.

With Vibroluxes being a 2X10, does this mean they've been replaces with one 15in speaker.BoringPostcards wrote: ↑Tue Dec 08, 2020 8:30 pmYea, they sound great with all the Offsets.
