    Playing lead on a Recto (Mesa pedal content)

    Hi guys, Can any of you compare the Grid Slammer to the Xotic BB Preamp? I am going to be putting either my Rev F. dual channel Rackmount or Triple Rev. F head into a working rig and planned on using either the Mini Tube screamer or the bb preamp, both of which I have currently. Wondering if...

    Back to Mesa: Recommendations for 2x12 Cab and Overdrive?

    FWIW, I have never played a roadster. I have used 2 channel rectos for years. With that said, I would suggest trying out either a mesa recto 2x12 or perhaps even a mesa traditonal 4x12. I've used both cabs a well as the standard recto cab with a rev f. dual and rev f. triple with great...

    Getting Metal tones out of a Dual Rectifier (Rev F)

    +1 JC is right on the money with the power tube recommendation imho. This is the secret sauce I've been using for years. Also, might want to call doug's tubes and get their "hard rock" preamp kit. I have both the "hard rock" and "metal" preamp kits in two different amps: a 4 space rackmount...

    Trade two ch Dual Rectifier for a three ch version?

    You will never believe this but I actually found the work order for the repair which was done in October of 2008. It was in a pedal board flight case. I knew I had it...somewhere. :D It was actually in the first place I looked. Almost a miracle that I found it that easy. Ok, I only have a...

    Trade two ch Dual Rectifier for a three ch version?

    I have 2 rev f.s that I will never sell. FYI, I have had the fx loop go out on my 2 channel rev f. dual recto twice in 10 years. Each time it required a .99 cent part in order to fix it. I do not know if it is common or why it went out. But it happened to me 2x. Labor for the repair was 2...

    DC5 (now with pics!) and another footswitch question

    FV83, I'm totally stoked that the boogie is working out for you. I have to say that this thread and the thread at TF has sparked a Gas attack for a boogie combo. So thanks for that LMAO! The rig looks great the way you have it angled on the stand. I probably should have done that when I had...

    DC5 (now with pics!) and another footswitch question

    Flying V 83! Welcome to the boogie board! Good to see you found your way over here! Where have I seen that DC 5 before? :roll: :D :D Really glad to hear that you are enjoying your new rig! Boogies Rule!!! Get some Aluminum U channel, maybe at home depot, lowes etc. Cut to length, drill...

    Finally got my hands on an Early '90s Dual Recto - Help ID

    Congrats on the Rev F. Recto. I love them. They are my favorite mesas. I have 2 currently, a dual rackmount and a triple head. I will never sell either. You scored!!! I did not know this. Thanks for sharing. Incidentally I used to run my triple rev f. with an intellifex with the pitch shifter...

    New Mesa pedals as a boost? Need tighter recto

    exbest182, I have a rev f. dual recto rackmount 'racktifier head' and a rev f. triple head. I have found the best way to 'tighten' up the rev f is to: A: get a Recto Cab 2x12, NOT 4x12. I've had both and the 2x12 is better for tightness. B: Get some decent 6l6 power tubes and a "Rock"...

    Doug's Tubes review ... Hard rock & Metal preamp tube kits.

    bjorn218, With the Dual I was in need of a retube, with the Triple I replace the new stock tubes that the factory sent in my recently acquired head. I tried the metal kit in the dual and played it for about a week, then I bought the triple and ordered the hard rock kit. I took the metal kit...

    Doug's Tubes review ... Hard rock & Metal preamp tube kits.

    deeman, No problems at all. Ordering was simple through his site and delivery exceeded my expectations, (you can order by phone too as well). He had it to my door within 3 days from my ordering. He is in NY and I am in HI so that is outrageously fast in my book. I ordered the two kits about...

    2 Channel Triple Rev F. Kudos to Mesa Hollywood

    Wildrat666, You sir are absolutely right. I went to the Mesa dealer in Honolulu yesterday to have a look at the recto 4x12 side by side recto the 2x12. I made up my mind after seeing the 4x12. I haven't had a recto 4x12 in almost 8 years. After selling my oversized mesa recto cab I got the...

    2 Channel Triple Rev F. Kudos to Mesa Hollywood

    Thanks for the kind words and positive vibes guys! Really appreciate it. :D I need to get a cab for it now and I'm thinking about getting a 4x12 just for the head. I don't need a 4x12 to be honest, but that is what I had when I had my last triple and it would really make a nice "stand" for the...

    2 Channel Triple Rev F. Kudos to Mesa Hollywood

    Wanted to share this rev f. score with the the board as I believe that some may find this head interesting. I picked this up from Mesa Hollywood last week. It's a rev F, 2 channel triple. A fabulous head that I bought because I regretted selling my old rev f. triple blackface/chrome about 10...

    Which speakers do you like best with your Rectifier?

    Best tones I ever got from my triple recto were from a Mesa Oversized Recto slant Cab with stock V-30s. Monstrous and lovely tones at loud/concert levels. A recto 2x12 with stock V-30s is also a fabulous match with a triple at loud/rehearsal levels. Mesa has matched the cab(s) and amp...

    DILEMMA! PLEASE HELP!

    My pleasure. I love talking shop about the rectos. =) I believe all the rectos that I have used and owned have all been revision F's if the following information is correct in my cut and paste from another 'Gear Page'.* There is some info on all Revisions as well as the Rev G in there so you...
