Thanks for the reply. The slightly tighter bottom end and upper mids might be worth giving it a try.

I have a Roadster and love it. Especially the Dual Recto high gain sound. I have heard the Roadster is a little darker than a typical dual Recto and I am just curious if anyone has much experience with swapping out the 6L6's for EL34's since the amp can be swapped. I am asking in terms of the...

My experience with Mesa's is limited but I own a Roadster and have owned an F100 and a MKV 25. All great amps but I found the recto tone is my favorite of these for metal. I have found that for really tight sounding, palm muted riffing, I get best results by boosting with some sort of...

WOW :shock: That is a deal for the ages! Congrats man! I have the head and paid a grand more than you did and was happy with that. I love this amp and I think you will too. Have fun

It looks very promising. I like the simplicity of it, as in it looks easier to dial in then some of their other amps. The clean and crunch sound great! I would really like to hear someone do a good demo of the the hi gain channel in standard tuning with the gain cranked and some good palm...

Was a single Recto or rectoverb 50 considered? It may compare favorably to a Mini Rec,

Hi, I am curious if anyone using a Line 6 M13 is running the tube screamer model into the front end of the amp like you would a traditional boost pedal? If so, how do you like the sound? Is it very different than the real thing? Is it reasonable/passable? I know many people use the TS9, maxon...

With my roadster I use an Ibanez TS-7 tubescreamer. This is the tone-lok version pedal that has two modes, TS-9 mode and hot mode. Hot mode is too much for me but the TS-9 mode with the level cranked, the tone ~noon and the gain ~ 9 o'clock sounds great on Ch.4 modern. It gives that little extra...

This is interesting. I am a new Roadster owner and love channel 3&4 but have felt the tweed and brit modes of channels 1&2 are a little lacking. However, what effect do the EL34's have on the modern modes of channels 3&4 in regards to how they sounded originally? Thanks,

NAD! Well, actually I have had this for about a month but haven't had the chance to post it. So, I finally joined the Mesa family. Originally I walked into a GC and played a used 3 channel Dual rec and was floored. I guess I had never really played one and didn't really fully appreciate the...

Yellowjacket, Thanks for the info. I appreciate it. So of the 2 channel Dual Rectos, how can you tell which Rev is which? You mention Revs C-G, with F&G having the better cleans but how do you tell them apart from looking at them or do you have to go inside the amp? Thanks,

Is it possible to pull 2 or 4 of the power tubes from a pre-reborn Triple rec to get it down to 100 or 50 watts? If so, which pairs do you pull? Do this require re-biasing once pulled? How would this effect tone? Thanks

Interesting on the mini. Seems like the circuit would/should be basically the same, both with diode rectification but the mini is running EL84's while I think the Single can run either 6L6 or EL34.

Hello all, I am a noobie here and have no personal experience with Mesa amps. I recently played a modern Dual rec which I believe is referred to as a "reborn" rec. It had three channels and 50/100 watt power options. Well, it was completely awesome. It floored me and while it was all good I was...

Total noob here and brand new to forum, I have little to no experience with Mesa amps and just played my first Dual Recto the other day and was floored. It sounded amazing on all channels. I have several questions about these amps though. First, what is the difference between single, dual and...
