3 different Mesa Rectifier cabs in the band mix!

[GJgo]

Hey guys, so last week it was 5 different heads in the band mix, this week it's 3 different cabs. I'm running my Rev G Triple Recto set up the same for all with a boost. The cabs are the 2x12 vert, the 4x12 OS slant & the 4x12 OS straight. I don't have a traditional at the moment but it's not the right choice for a Recto anyway. They all sound very different- which one do you think sounds best?

4x12 OS Slant to my ears. Great playing too.

Thanks man. I did end up using the OS slant at our gig last week as I think it pairs best with the Triple in the live band mix (see link). For recording though, I LOVE the straight cab.

Straight cabs!

And the Traditional cab is the best of all of them, bar none.

You can't make that as a blanket statement- it's all about the sum of the parts.

Same


I have a slant trad - which to my ears (subjectively) is the best of all of them

And yeah great playing and band mix/tightness/cohesiveness/etc.

Thanks man. I used to have a slant trad- it was super dark & I sold it. Check out this comparo I did with it. The only head that really liked it was the Mark IV.

I played a straight trad a guy had with my IIC++ but haven't owned one. It was dark, but I did like it better than the slant- just playing solo in a room.

I've A/Bd so much Mesa gear, it's really about finding specific pairings that work well together. For example, my IIB Coli is WAY better with the OS straight than with the OS slant where the Rectifier is better with the slant but not massively so.
