Thanks again, never would have thought of that. Looking forward to delivery of this beast.

Thanks for the info. So it doesn't matter that the "send" jack of the loop will have nothing connected to it? So I should select the green channel (3 ch DR) and set "Master" and "Gain" to zero?

The Ampteaker Tight Metal Pro can apparently be used out front or as a preamp straight to a power amp. If used in conjunction with a Dual Rectifier could you somehow bypass the DR's preamp and run the Tight Metal Pro straight to the power section of the DR? Even if it can be physically done...

I have a Rectifier oversized 4 x 12 cab that I putting up for sale. It's about 6 - 8 years old. I seem to remember a tech once telling me it was a good one because the V30s in it were somehow different to newer versions. Maybe it was because of where they were made or something, I can't quite...

Could I use Jamup on my iPad to create a signal I could route to the FX return on my 3 channel DR and onto my Recto 4 x 12 for live use? In other words I would use Jamup on my iPad to act as the preamp and pedalboard. Then the power amp and the 4 x 12 create the live sound.

Thanks a lot for that, I got quite a bit out of your response. As for the ISP manual, I find it odd that after developing such a high tech piece of kit they seemed to have scratched the manual out on the back of a beer coaster at the pub one day after work. Why not provide half a dozen example...

I have a 3 Ch DR, an ISP G String Decimator, an Empress Para EQ, a Flashback X4 delay, a Maxon OD9 Pro+, a Wahzoo Wah and a Fuzz War. I have been trying for a while to get my board right. The Decimator G String is supposed to be used in conjunction with the loop apparently, so I wanted to do...

Had GAS for a RA100 until I checked local price in Australia; AUD$4k here USD$2k there Convert currency = AUD$2300 add 10% local tax = AUD$2530 That leaves around AUD$1500 for shipping from USA. I can fly round trip Sydney to LA for between AUD$1100 and AUD$1400. Oh, the pain! Futile bleat...

Might just have to leave it all out front then.

Trying to work out the best way to organize my board. here's a diagram of how I have it now; Is this the best way to do it? In particular I'm not sure about whether I should be using the Mesa Dual Rectifier's FX loop (parallel loop). To compound my confusion the G-String Decimator noise...

I've read that the DR is designed to run a cold power section in combination with the very high level of gain coming from the preamp. Maybe lowering the bias to a level that would be normal in other amps has caused the problem.

Hum on all channels to varying degrees. Changing the power cord made a big difference. However the power cord I removed never caused hum before so the hotter tubes must have affected the old cord somehow. Maybe the new cord has better shielding or something? I took it from my computer. The note...

Note that the technician told me that he altered the bias by putting a resistor with a lower value into the bias circuit. The result was warmer running tubes and more gain. He said they were running too cold. Could this alteration have contributed to the perceived warble and flutter in the way...

My 3ch Dual recto started to sound very sick so I got it retubed and serviced. When I got it back it sounded greatly improved. However I have noticed that when I play a higher note at high gain settings, the note seems to have a bump in the sustain as it decays. It's like the note "breaks" just...

Thanks Dom

The Assign rotary control on the back panel for the FX loop has 6 settings (going off the manual as amp is in workshop); Loop On Channel 1 Channel 2 Channel 3 FTSW Loop Bypass Here is what the manual says about this control; An ASSIGN rotary control that allows you to have any combination of...

Amp totally farted out again at rehearsal this week. Usual problem in that it still kinda worked but it sounded like absolute crap. Something seriously wrong...again. Off to a new tech this time.

Thanks for that. Does this mean to run both cabs I would do the following; Using DR head 4 Ohm output from DR head to 8 Ohm input on Recto cab + 4 Ohm output from DR head to 16 Ohm input on Krank cab Using K+ head Flick switch on K+ head to 4 Ohm and take speaker output 1 to 8 Ohm input on...

I have a 100W Mesa 3ch DR and Recto 4x12 cab. My friend has a Krankenstein+ 120W head and 4x12 Krankenstein cab (150W Eminence Texas heat speakers). Below are photos of the back panels of the heads and cabs. We want to experiment with swapping cabs. Then further to this, maybe even playing...

Anyone used a Stereo Wet through the loop in a 3 ch DR?
