Yeah, that is the drawback. They aren't cheap, and they're so new that you're not going to find that many used.

Yep, sad but true.

I'm not buying anything else though until I hear my buddys spidervalve head in action and try it with my Vader, I wanna put it head to head with my Recto and see how it fares

If i'm lucky i might be able to get $800 for my XXX. and possibly another $1200 for the DR (maybe). that's about what it'd cost for a used roadster by my estimates.

Oh, I see you're up in Canada. I forget that they're more expensive up there.

How much does a new Dual go for? That will give me an idea of what your prices are.

PirateMetalTroy · 04-11-2008, 02:47 AM

I honestly don't know. I see used duals selling on craigslist and kijiji for anywhere from 1300-1600. beyond that i have no idea. i think the list was over $2000 for a new one the last time i was in a store that sold them (2 years ago) but that's not horribly accurate as i could easily been a triple due to my n00bness.

noodles · 04-11-2008, 02:50 AM

Well, a triple is about $1600 in the states IIRC, but with the weak dollar, it may have dropped since you last checked.

PirateMetalTroy · 04-11-2008, 02:55 AM

all this talk of a roadster is making me seriously consider buying one. since i'll probably be able to afford it if i can flip my dual and the XXX. having a decent clean channel is always good too. since my style isn't necessarily limited to hi-gain metal.

As a 2 channel triple rect. owner I am quite curious about these differences. Would u mind explaining the differences and tell some more about it?

As a former owner of a 95' recto all I have to say is the newer ones sound diffrent. I know they had to have changed some things up as far as voicing is concerned or it just might be altenate sourcing of componenets for mass production. For better or worse. They sell a lot of them now (Guitar Center) compared to 1995 where only one shop in town was an autorized Boogie dealer and even then you had to special order. If I was in the market for a DR I would be looking used 2 Channel 95' and older, but thats just my opinion. This is by no means a "flame" but I think there is some truth to this.

The serial on mine is R-013582

what does this mean to you guys?
