2007 3 channel Triple Rectifier For $1100!!!

It is used, but the only reason why is because someone bought it. (well no duh huh?) For real though, it is in super dooper mint pristine condition. Only thing is it didn't come with a manual or foot switch... Got some questions though.

What cab should I run with it?
What are some recommended settings?
Anything I should be aware of?
How does it behave with a g-major?
" " " " " " bloody murder?
Where can I get a manual?

I will post some pics as soon as I take some.

The correct thing to do is to ship it to me.

biggness · 02-19-2008, 08:12 PM

Allrighty. Just took some pictures with my new blackberry 8310.(testing it out I guess) So, enjoy.

(not how I plan on setting it up, just how it ended up

)

2007 Triple Rectifier for $1100 is damn good dude!! As for a cab i just use a 2x12 Mesa w/V30's and i like that but theres a shit ton of cab options out there and yes a Bloody Murder would rule with that amp. I just have a stock Tubescreamer TS9 and even that made a world of difference.

Yeah man I couldn't pass up this deal!! A case of someone not knowing what they have. I always like to be on the winning end of those deals.

Have you heard any reviews of this head with the Vader 4x12? I got's me a rack mount pie in the works right, so that pretty much rule...

Triple???? I can't even imagine the major balls that thing must have

I hope you've got a hotplate

Check out my Rectoverb thread, I got some good advice from the Mesa users on this board.
oh and congrats, great price on such a clean triple.

the best cab i've heard one through is the orange ppc412. Sound A LOT better than the standard 412 recto cab. The C90s loaded recto cabs are supposed to sound completely different though, and many users on this board swear by them. A standard marshall 1960 g12t75 cab will probably be the cheapest cab you could get for it that'll sound decent.

if you like a modern tight tone, then switch it to BOLD and DIODE rectifier to start off. The modern channel with all knobs at midnight is then a good start for tweaking depending on your cab, guitars and room.

if i remember correctly, the FX-loop is parallel so you'll probably wan't to set the g-major in 'kill-dry' mode. Experiment with input and output volumes on the g-major on the FX-loop on the mesa to find what works best for you. LOTS of people are using rectos with g-majors so it can be definitely worked out!

boosting rectos is a MUST, imo. The added diode clipping before the first gain stage will tighten things up A LOT and give you more clarity and punch.
I've only boosted my (already parted) recto with a modded TS7 and it already sounded great. I still haven't got the chance to play a bloody murder, though. I'm sure its one of the best boost/overdirve pedal money can buy.

i couldn´t live with myself having a recto set to the DIODE setting... i mean, it has tubes, i wanna use them! :P
