On both the Crunch and IV Mode comparisons, the Mark V and Mark Five:35 have identical EQ settings and the volume on each was adjusted so that they were within the same ballpark of one another. For the phone comparisons, the amps were recorded with my phone resting on a window sill across the...

Bought a Mesa Boogie Single Rectifier Series 1 yesterday from a nice fellow for a good price! It appears to be in great shape too but it doesn't have a footswitch. I have a Dual Rectifier and a Mini Rectifier but I've never tried a single Rectifier. I was very curious about trying one. Luckily...

Remember a while back I bought a Mesa Powerhouse 410, the speakers were dead, and I fixed it up with some replacements? Well, I found it a match, so I can have the whole stack: I only just got it home, so no real comments on it yet. I can tell it's beat up a bit, but everything seems to work...

Every once in a while as my amp collection grows, I like to do something a little crazy.... In this past year I got a Gibson Les Paul Custom. It's probably my favorite guitar! I basically wanted to hear how this guitar sounds through my entire amp collection. No clean tones, just one high gain...

Many people hate it for its kinda harsh upper mids but much like V30s im thinking that is a bonus in cutting well in a live mix especially for fast technical stuff. Its kind of like the amp is boosted while still retaining the huge lowend which can be tightened up with a boost with its tone...

Brief & Accurate Description of gear/guitar: mesa single rectifier 50 head and footswitch, works great. Modifications (if any): Accessories (hardshell case etc): Location (City,State or City,Country):Victoria BC Canada International OK? : canada prefered, perhaps NA if you pay the extra for...

Hey all, I've been working on this new series, it's called "One Song, One Amp!" V2 and I'm pretty excited about it. I've done something like this before but this one has more guitars and styles so it will hopefully keep things more interesting... :) The idea is that I wrote and recorded this...

So i traded some pedals for a series 2 single rec!! So far at low home volumes i think its great! I def see what people mean when they talk about the upper mids thing, guess it just doesnt bother me that much, i find going a little lower in the mids helps smooth it out and when its cranked i...

Hi guys, i started to mess around with tube amps a year ago after i got some Crate heads and modded it Some months ago i decided to take the next step and build an amp from the ground up and so i got a very cheap 20w amp kit It was supposed to be some kind of simplified Plexi-SLP replica with 2x...

In a perfect world id have kept every cool amp ive had but its never been an option. I already sold the triple but im having a bit of sellers remorse. maybe i shoulda kept both?... I dunno, Def some over lap and quite frankly im somewhat poor so the $$$ was helpful. Do yas think it was...

These days im thinking itd be awesome to own a 1x12 recto combo for both, the great heavy af tones and an amazing pedal platform! (thinking used, $1500 give or take or under) Great for home playing and pretty easy to lug around for band practice/etc. What are all the different recto 1x12...

Got the triple rec a few days ago in a trade for my fender super twin reverb and have been loving it as a fuzz pedal platform. That huge chewy bottom end is absolutely perfect for it! And holy shit how perfect is it on top of the metal plate randal 1x15 +2x12 cab ehhh!!!? Just got the roadster...

Hello! I'm a proud owner of an ENGL Invader 1 amp that I use to play cleans, crunch stuff but most important, METAL! I am a djent type of player (progressive metal, downtuned stuff) and I love tight distortions with boosters in front for some added clarity. This is exactly the tone I get with...

A bunch of you have probably seen me post a whole bunch about bass stuff recently, including the Mesa 4x10 I picked up. The tl;dr version is that one of the speakers (top left) is making a kind of papery/crunchy sound (it sounds more like electrical noise than distortion to me), but only when...

While poking around some used ads, I came across a Mesa Powerhouse 4x10 for 500 Canadian loonies, and I'm considering going to grab it. I thiiiiiiink it's the more recent "modern" version (I keep reading about there being three different versions of these). From what I can find from googling...

I've had this amp for 1.5 or 2 years or so. It's a cool little amp for sure. I have a fairly large collection of amps with some big 100w heads but also a lot of small lunchbox amps. This one definitely sets itself apart from the rest with it's true recto tone. In comparison to my Dual Rectifier...

Hey guys, Here's something a little crazy I worked on for a while. The concept is simple: I wrote a 'riff' specifically for this concept. It's basically a collage of riffy bits and some lead bits so that you can hopefully get a good idea of how these amps all sound with a modern high gain rock...

:yoda:

Brief & Accurate Description of gear/guitar: Got this in a trade not long ago and I LOVE it, but I've decided to go all-in on modeling and I'm satisfied enough with the Recto sounds I'm hearing out of my FM3. I was planning to sell all my amps and just downsize, but I have a feeling I'll miss...

Hey guys! Super excited, I just picked up my first Rectifier! I work at a music store and someone traded it in so I immediately got it haha. It's a Dual Rec Road King in red snakeskin. I assume it was a custom order, as I've never seen another red snakeskin Rec. I don't know much about Mesa, was...
