Here's an mp3 of a song my band recorded last week.
I was using my 210 75 + a single 12 box.

Sounds great! What distortion pedal were you using?

I was using a boss GT-6 with the pre amp set as a Fender Tweed and the boost set on a TS-9

last night I had occasion to use my 210 sixty-five in "tone candy" mode (bridging channels on a two channel, four input amp). I was in a recording session and the engineer kept trashing takes because he wanted some undefinable quality on the guitar track. (damned frustrating when someone can't even tell you what it is he or she wants.) becoming somewhat lathered myself and not owning many pedals (tube screamer and passive volume pedals only) I reached deep into the old bag of tricks and dug out a short patch cord I carry for just this purpose and bridged input 2 of channel 2 to input 1 of channel 1. (my axe was, of course, plugged into input 1 of channel 2....)

well, apparently the engineer had never heard the sound of an old amplifier channel-bridged in this fashion... ah, tender youth..if I only still had mine... anyway, with the master at 8, both volumes on 2 and the tones mixed 6, 6, 3 (T,M,B) with reverb on 2.7, intensity .5 and speed 0 we acheived an otherworldly sort of sound that the engineer positively flipped for--he said it "sounds like a rock band from jupiter" (his actual words). I've never used any rack mounted effects other than an occasional bit of reverb in my home recording so I can't really make any sort of valid comparison here but: coupling the two preamps in series with the "screamer" functioning as a third preamp creates an incredibly cool effect. I've auditioned no pedal that comes close to the versatility of sounds one can acheive with an amp set up this way. I'm not sure I'd use this effect outside the studio, as it tends to reduce the overall volume of my amp (making it inappropriate for a live gig). other than that one restriction it makes a very cool change from your straight amp sound.
