The Official TGF Mesa Rectifier Appreciation Thread.

Very much the honeymoon phase with only 48 hours in but I think this beats my Mark V for me/my playing style etc etc. Mark is fucking sick still and we'll see what time does. The gain is very guttural in a pissed off and offensive way.

They are both are such different vibes but super purposeful in their own ways I'd be interested to see your take on the 90 watt Mk vs a 100 watt Rectifier.

I’ve sort of described their differences as something like:

Mark Series: special forces level precision, 1 shot - 1 kill and you better know where to use it. Not appropriate for every situation.

Rectifier: Your GF’s ex who’s off his meds and waiting in the parking lot with a tire iron. Doesn’t give a shit he’s kicking the door in.

Unless I win the lottery I just spent my entire 2026 gear budget in the first 7 days of the year lmao - I think the 90 watt will be my next amp though - way too many "what ifs" and I won't rest until I can play them both lol (35w vs 90w). I'm also gas'ing for a mw 100w though for the same reasons

my wife asked me why I need a Mesa if I already had a Mesa lmao

35w vs 90w

Funny enough, when I bought my 90w from the guy, he was selling it because he preferred the voicing of the 35w

I may find that to be the case
