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 Rectifier series. So when I played the Dual I just loved it and decided I had to have one.
So I unloaded an amp, a guitar, some FX and went on the quest. I really was only planning on buying used as these beasts are hella expensive. Then I was considering a Mini Rec for a while but then I came across this monster. A 2010 Mesa Dual Rec Roadster. The functionality of this amp is awesome.
I was able to pick this up used so I didn't have to pay a full kings ransom for it, Thankfully
4 channels, assignable 50/100 watts per channel as well as FX loop, diode or tube rectification.
I am currently running it through a Genz Benz G-flex 2x12 cab with Vintage 30's. It is pretty cool. Although I am not a real big fan of the V30's and might be looking for something else. I did recently play it through a Krankenstein 4X12 with Texas Heats and it was awesome.
Anyway, here is a couple pics. This one has a tube cage I have not seen before on Mesas.
Channels 3 & 4 are just killer but I was somewhat underwhelmed with 1 & 2. The Clean is good but the drive is a little lacking. the Tweed setting on channel 1 and the Brit setting on Channel 2 just seem a little anemic, but I picked it up for the crush of 3&4.
I am currently running an MXR 10-band in the loop and experimenting with an OD in front. I tried a cheap Deltalab tube overdrive and it sounded great then the pedal died. I tried a digitech Screamin' Blues and it also sounds good. I tried a EH LPB-1 liner power boost and it sounded crappy. I may go with the typical tube screamer but we'll see. maybe a bad monkey.
