The Official TGF Mesa Rectifier Appreciation Thread.

On my plate is to try the MW clean and pushed modes through Fender-y speakers in open back cabinets. I’ve like how the cleans sound through V30s enough that I never looked into trying out Jensen-type speakers for lower gain.

I kind of want to hear what the Modern mode sounds like through C90s.

FWIW I have an oversized 1x12 with an EVM12L in it that sounds awesome with my revision G. The V30 definitely isn’t the only game in town.

I still have one of those in combo form!

I kind of think the Rectifier is my favourite amp. I have the Recto Recording preamp and a 2:100 and it's amazing. Doesn't even need a boost, it's much tighter and the low end is more controlled than the Triple Rec I used to own.

Here's a clip:

Band Im working with brought one of these in. Been a few years since Ive played a 3 channel triple. Absolutely rips.

Absolutely as good as my 2 channel and multiwatt. The 3 channel ones are a slightly ifferent flavour but deliver the goods, defo the ones to go for while they are out of fashion.

One of my favorite amps. I used a 3 channel triple for a long time. Pretty easy to do a series mod on it too if that’s your thing.

Glad to hear it! I got a triple nipple multi watt because it was too cheap to pass up and everyone was saying the MW is great but glad to hear the 3 channel non multi watt one are good. Good time to snag a Rec if you are looking for a non "special" one for sure.

Really curious to open this one up to see what valves it has in it because I’m blown away. Can see it has 6 STR 440’s in the poweramp.

Getting the vintage modes sounding as good felt harder/more finicky than the Rev G or MW, but the modern modes on orange and red are just killer even with no boost. Sometimes the MW feels a bit grainy to me (using a boost sorts that out) whereas this one doesn’t have that. Maybe it’s just down to the right preamp valves hitting a decent level through the preamp. Will try and shoot some clips of this before the band takes it back. Did about 5 seconds through a cab thinking the MV was pretty low and it was loud AF

IIRC there is an early version of the 3 channel that some folks have reported preferring so they can apparently vary. I forget the specifics exactly.

I’ve seen sub $1k 3 channel duals stateside a couple times recently and been tempted. That’s a lot of versatility for the money. I also struggle with the vintage mode on those amps, FWIW.
