I knew about the revisions on the first gen of 3 channels but they went through revisions on the MWs as well? Is this confirmed and what’s the information on this topic?man, rectifiers are such a crap shoot. there have been so many revisions over the years, and I'm not talking about the early revisions. There are changes and revisions within both the 3 channel and multi watt models that can make them all sound and feel noticeably different.
Fluff knows more about this than I do, but talking to him, the early 3 channels were less. scooped and fizzy and more mid forward and tight. later ones are the ones that give them a bad rep. When they transitioned into the multi wat, this was still true, but after a couple revisions over the years, mesa brought them back to being a little more "rev f" like, ala tighter and slightly my mid aggressive.
this generally lines up with my experiences. my 3 channel triple is the best sounding 3 channel model I've ever heard,l for my personal tastes, as it's not nearly as scooped and fizzy as some others I've played. same goes for my multi watt. it's a 2018 model, so it's much later in the production years, and it seems tighter and more aggressive than others I've played.
That said, the Rev G seems to be the most consistent throughout the years of production, in my experience, and have very few documented changes after settling in the "rev g"
which model is best to you will be totally subjective. really depends on what you want out of it.
