NEW Mesa Boogie 90's Dual Rectifier

[EOengineer]

$3500 Reissue Recto just seems all kinds of dumb to me----given what is out there
on the Used Market.

I felt the same way but I suppose it works for some if Mesa really nailed the revision F given that those amps seem to be sitting somewhere north of $5-6k right now - though I’m still not sure they are actually moving at that price.

I’m very partial to the original revision G, which can generally be had for < $2k. I prefer it over the F so it’s kind of a no brainer in that specific case.

Just too many god damn great amps out there to be swayed by this peculiar scent of "new."

I've had 2 Tremoverbs and they were very different.

1994 and early 2000s. The early 2000s was shit.

The 94 was totally different from other Rectos I have/had. It roared with no offending high end. Note, I am mostly not offended by high end even on other Rectos. It is just a description.

Tverbs seemed to always weigh a TON!

I had a 93 Tremoverb combo with a serial loop. I wish I would have kept it. Big logo in the center of the grill cloth. Serial # in the low 2500s.

They were both 2x12 combos! Haha

I’ve had a few Tremoverbs but only one Rev G solo head. If I got another recto I’d probably go for the solo head. The Tremoverbs were awesome though.

I was JUST looking into this recently. I had always been under the impression that all Tremoverbs were G with parallel loops, but yeah..,not the case. In that 93-94 timeframe in particular there’s a lot of F/G hybrids and atypical configurations.

Yeah I had one of those and TFG it was on casters. I don't remember how I got the thing in or out of the car to bring it home though?

Always been curious about the Tremoverbs. Even now, the combo's can be picked up for reasonable prices if you don't mind the form factor (you get a pair of nice era V30's too).

Are the main circuits (besides the actual features) quite different then?

True, but… it’s rad.

What, you don't like paying more for less?... because replacing the multi-watt with this reissue is exactly it.

At least until the Multi Watt gets reissued and they slap another $1000 on top of that.

Tbf, a 2203 or Plexi costs more than a JVM. If there wasn’t a massive jump in price, I’d rather the 2 channel honestly. 3 channel recto’s are cool but I don’t need the extras, and I prefer the original tone.

The current Mesa pricing is absurd, its boutique prices with mass produced build quality. And I heard some stuff today from some official UK service centres that a few have told Gibson to poke it due to paying invoices late, never have parts to supply and being crap to deal with.

I halfass predicted this when they were acquired.
