NEW Mesa Boogie 90's Dual Rectifier

[la szum]

True, but… it’s rad.

As rad as existing Recto options, though, is highly debatable.

 

[LCW]

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?

They literally weigh like 100 lbs

This. Casters are a must. Or a furniture dolly.

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.

That's a great description.
I got rid of my rack of Rivera TBRs and got T-verb and XTC combos in 94.
The T-verb outlasted the XTC, among other stuff that came and went were a Guytron I sold to Suhr, a Dumble ODS that I opted out, a few Egnators.
Wyatt stayed were some old Marshalls, and a THD Plexi I killed the output transformer (which led me to eventually work there).

I have Rev F Recto on my Reverb feed… all of a sudden a few seem to be popping out of the wood work…

Great demo actually… lot of 90s nostalgia in this one. I’m all for it!

Ha! I have those in my feed too.

These do look amazing with the black and chrome.

looks like they waited for reissue to charge those crazy prices.

Good review from Kyle…

Sounds killer to me!

Good review from Kyle…

This doesn’t sound great here. Kyle seems genuinely impressed. It’s been fun watching him 180 on Rectifiers.

I’m definitely developing a preference for the dark faceplate and chrome chassis.

I think it's more the mic and placement than the amp. Kyle generally has good mic placement in his videos, but the SM57 sounds like this when its off it's mark by even a centimeter.

Yeah the 57 and Recto has never really been my favorite combination. He clearly dug what was happening in the room.

Sounds good.

This did not.

@LCW you have any plans to try EL-34s in your reissue? I love what they do in my G but it’s apparently a divisive topic.

No plans no…
