    FS - Mesa Studio Rectifier Preamp

    Near Mint condition - Just retubed from Dougs. Getting out of the rack business and getting a head. This thing is amazing. Has 2 button foot switch (mesa) and manual. Here are some pics. Here's the receipt from Dougs Tubes. All 6 tubes have been replaced, even though they were fine...

    Is there a way (put on your thinking caps folks)

    I have a rectifier preamp and mesa power amp as you all know. I'm also an idiot, as you all know. I'm contemplating doing pedals for effects with a true bypass loop. What I'm wondering is this. Is there any device out there that I can press one button and have my amp switch from distortion to...

    Does thee exist a diagram of the 4cm?

    I can't find any info on this on google. Just discussions on everyone that already knows about it. WTF? Can someone please spill it as if they are talking to a 5 year old child? Thanks, Kevin

    Line 6 POD XT

    I've got a POD XT the other night. I'm wondering how it sounds as a preamp to a combo amp or power amp. I shouldn't even be asking this as I had a RACK POD (one of the originals) 5 years ago and hooked it up to my mesa 2:90 and the mesa basically said "YEAH RIGHT" and it sounded like mud. Now I...

    Dougs tubes / Mesa / Eurotubes?

    This is for my 2:100. I had planned on retubing the whole thing from the beginning since it's used. However I want to stay on the safe side. I don't care about hot rod sound. The thing sounds fine as it is with the mesa tubes. But @ $42 a pair I'm looking at over $200 with the preamp tubes and...

    Tube glow color

    I'm wondering if I have a bad tube. I got 7 that glow blue and amber and 1 that only glows amber on my 2:100 Power amp. One channel (A) has some intermittent crackling. What do you think? I'm going to retube in a few weeks, both my recto preamp and the power amp 6l6's as well as the three...

    2:100 Problem

    Don't know if this is a problem or not. I bought a recto studio preamp and a 2:100 Recto Power amp. I have it all hooked up properly. I'm running it in stereo to a 2x12 cab. The speakers are Celestion 12-100's 8ohm and I'm using the 8ohm outputs on the power amp. I'm getting a speaker crackle...

    2x12 and speaker question with 2:100 amp

    So I got a 2:100 amp and a 2x12. I got (2) Celestion T12 100's which are 8ohms. What should I do with the speaker wiring? 1. Wire the 2 8ohm speakers in parallel to make a 4ohm cabinet and run one side of the power amp and have the volume off on the other side 2. Run the 2 8ohm speakers so...

    Can someone explain cables to me?

    Balanced, shielded, unbalanced, unshielded? I read today that if you use the wrong cable for speaker to amp you could fry your transformer? I got 2 short 3' cables. I believe these are instrument cables right? Guitar and effects cables are the same? I twisted the end off and looked at it...

    speaker options for 2:100 Power amp

    What do you cats think? I got a monster power amp on the way Mesa 2:100 to start off with, I'm thinking of going with avatar cabs. Either (2) 1x12's or (1) 2x12 with Celestion T100's to start off with. I'm going to shortly quadruple this configuration, but I'm just wondering what to do to...

    Shielded and unshielded cables.

    I noticed in the rectifier studio preamp manual and the 2:100 power amp manual it mentions shielded and unshielded cables? How important is this? Kevin

    Foot pedals vs. rackmount

    Is there any downfall to using foot pedals instead of rackmount effects? I have a mesa recording rectifier preamp and a mesa 2:100 To me, it's simpler to just have some foot pedals instead of a rack mounted effects unit. My logic is this. I have pedals now for the preamp and I don't really...

    New to board, a couple questions.

    I recently bought one of these used And I'm looking to get one of these I'm starting to get worried as people are saying the combo of these 2 aren't really good for a thrash type of tone. The reason I'm going with this combo is that I read mesa stuff is reliable and I'm so tired of Solid...
