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 particularly impressed by the red channel modern high gain.
So now I am interested in picking up a rectifier of some kind. Well I have seen the new mini recs that are out there and I am wondering are they any different from a single rec (other than the single being 50 watts and the mini being 25/10 watts and the mini running EL84's vs. the singles 6L6's)
Is there any difference in tone?
Also, I will likely be buying used if I go Dual or Single route vs. the mini. Not really looking to spend over $1K. I pretty routinely see singles for $1K or less and occasionally see Dual Recs for $1K.
ALso what is so different between the Old Dual and the new Reborn? The extra channel and power options are differences but anyting else and is the tone much different?
greatmutah answered some of these questions for me in the Rectifier FAQ ( Thanks greatmutah) but I have some up with a couple of new ones so I thought I'd post here for more responese/opinions.
I don't really need the 100 watts as I don't play out live so I am looking at the Singles and Mini but it was the Dual that I actually fell in love with in the first place.
So does the diode rectification vs. tube make a huge difference in terms of tone? If so, how?
sorry if I am all over the place, I appreciate the wealth of knowledge here on this forum.
Thanks
