Eventually we'll need a dedicated tech and another guy to man the store, but it's a little too early to know for sure when that would be. Definitely I can keep you mind though

nooo good.
get some other people in there, even just as a temporary favor. you do NOT want even 3 or 4 people in any sort of retail shop when theres only one staff membar. network of eyeballs prevents theft

Don't worry, we've got all that stuff covered dude. We know what to do

I say you implement a rule at your store...

"If caught stealing, not only will the product be returned to the store, but the theif's neck will be broken by smashing a Hello Kitty guitar over their head."

I call minimum wage n00b that tries to be cool but isn't.

Zimbloth, you should open the store in Worcester instead, that way I only have to drive 5 minutes


What do you recommend for any rackmount preamp? I'm thinking about something besides the recto recording preamp I have right now. I have a mesa 2:100 power amp, but find the tone on the preamp somewhat limiting.

I would have recommended the Mesa Triaxis if you had a 2:90, but since you have a 2:100 which can't take advantage of all its features, I would recommend against it. Plus you already have a Mesa pre, I'd think you'd want something different and possibly better than what you have now.

If you want to go ultra cheap but still good, the old Peavey Rockmaster is pretty cool. The Marshall JMP-1 is alright but it's pretty solid-state sounding.

Honestly though, I recommend a head over another preamp. You can get a superb head for the price of most high-end preamps. I don't mean to sound like a broken record, but I strongly suggest looking into a VHT amp. I'm confident if you stopped by my store when it opened you'd fall in love with those. I believe from your seeing your playing style and tastes those would be perfect for you. They have various models in different price ranges which are all superb. If you wanted something straight forward, the Deliverance 60 or 120 is a great way to go. If you wanted something versatile and top of the line, the Sig:X or Pittbull series are the way to go.

If any of that interests you, get in touch with me and I can hook you up. Otherwise if you want to stick with pre-amps, try and find a used Peavey Rockmaster, that would be my formal recommendation. Anything else I could recommend in terms of high-end tube preamps that could hang with or beat out your Recto, would just be too expensive to be worth it IMO.
