So I think I'm going to buy a Triple Rectifier.

Chris · 11-13-2006, 02:27 PM

I played through one yesterday, and .. well.. it kinda kicked ass.

Drew · 11-13-2006, 02:31 PM

DO IT!!!!!

Seriously Chris, even at low volumes that's one rig that gets about as close to your tone as I've ever heard from a tube rig.

Was it an original or Road King?

They only make the Triple as the Solo head. 3 channel, I presume?

I'm not sure, what's the difference? It was the newer looking face, if that helps.

The dude had the purple THD running in front of it, so I was even able to dial the thing in at evening-volume and it sounded awesome. I brought my 2101/SS rack down to jam, and in a small space my setup just isn't loud enough to be articulate when playing over drums, it just gets muddy. I still fucking LOVE the 2101, don't get me wrong, but playing the triple through the hotplate (which I'd never been able to do before) gave me a new apprecation for it.

Plus.. Jesus fucking christ, was it loud.

Plus, I have the 4x12 for it sitting in storage right now, and the fullstack just looked so damn sexy.

It looked just like this:

What's the main difference between the dual recto and triple? Is it the number of channels?

Just like mine. The main difference is the the Triple has two more power tubes (and one more rectifier tube) for a total of 150w. The driver circuitry is different, too, and I prefer it to the Dual's.

Drew · 11-13-2006, 02:38 PM

Wattage. A Triple is 150 watts, a Dual is 100.

Did the front panel say "Solo Head" or "Road King?"

Also, I need a THD Hot Plate.

Yes, they are. I've never had mine above half way, and I almost killed the drummer with that and one 4x12.

Leon · 11-13-2006, 02:40 PM

so, the problem lies with your power amp? have you tried any tube power amps lately with the 2101?

It's a Solo. The RK has four channels and a different face.

I'm borrowing a friend's Hot Plate. They're pretty freakin' cool.

I have a radical idea. The door swings both ways, we could reverse the particle flow through the gate. We'll cross the streams.
