Hi all!
So I picked up my Cure yesterday (My first Dr.z amp). Got it for £700 off eBay.
It's mint apart from scuff on the footswitch. I'm very happy with it so far.
I made a quick vid of some modern'ish gain tones. Currently experimenting with pedals and settings to find the tones I need for my cover band (Dirty blues - classic rock - modern rock).
The sound recorded is a little compressed and a little muddy than what is heard in real life unfortunately. I used a Sure 57 and an M-Audio DAC.
If anyone could recommend some better kit for recording I am all ears. Same goes for settings which would achieve the kind of tones I am wanting to nail for stuff like: Muse, Kravitz etc.
The tones I am hearing it the room is very pleasing though. Loving the cleans and edge of break up the amp produces with out pedals too.
Thanks!

Welcome! This is the best forum on the net. You did indeed pick a fine stepping "into" point in the Z lineup. My Cure has been my #1 gig amp since it came out.

Welcome! The Cure is a great amp. Good for home use and plenty loud for gigging.

Infrasound, welcome to the forum. Is that a fuzz face peeking out from the bottom of your pedal board at the end of the clip ? Nice clip BTW. Great distortion tone. 700 GBP ... so that's about what, ... 870 USD. I think you got a great deal.

Pulled my Cure out yesterday after a few months of not using it. Dialed it in for the guitar and adjusted some pedal settings. I'd forgotten how good this amp sounds.

Welcome to the forum! As far as kit, that's a deeeeep and wide rabbit hole you may never emerge from. Prceed cautiously! A 57 is a good start - they're classic guitar mics for a reason. Try experimenting with where you position it, and how far back. But there are a LOT of other options, depending on your ears and your budget.
