Bogner Uberschall vs Mesa 2CH Triple Rectifier

[Dimebag11]

Which one would you pick and why? What are some of the advantages/disadvantages?

The reason I ask is because I got a Mako Mak-2 the other day that sounds absolutely killer at ALL volume levels and records absolutely fantastic. When I plug in the Mako and then switch to my Trec it sounds soooo dull in comparison and not as much definition or clarity for sure also, the Trec SUCKS at low volume playing (which I have to do often) but, it tracks well with the Mako because it helps fill in the low end and low-mids (typical recto huge wall of sound). My main thing is will the Uberschall do the same thing as the Recto in the studio for me? and create that wall of sound to pair with the Mako? will it sound good at low volumes like the Mako? and will it be clearer and tighter than the Recto but, still have that MASSIVE bottom end with some saturation just a "touch of sag"?


Oh, and btw if it weren't for the Recto tracking so well in the studio I would've offed it a while back...I'm not a fan of how it sounds in the room too much, it's aight though

I much prefer the Uber over the Recto. I did get a killer sound with my Recto, but IMO the Uber takes what the Recto does to another level. Everything you mention you're looking for the Uber does in spades. I've never tracked with the Uber in the studio, but if the studio engineer can't get a monster sound out of the Uber I'd be looking for another engineer.

I am fairly certain the Uber IS what I'm looking for and my 2CH Triple Recto with brand new tubes and a Road Case will be for sale sometime this week. When it sells I'll go Uber shopping (metal grill only and I gotta buy white knobs for it )

I've heard a few Uber's live latey and they are impressing me more than any Mesa Rectifier I ever heard.

Well, if anyone here is interested in a 2CH Triple Rectifier made in 2000 No footswitch but, comes with roadcase. Loaded with brand new Ruby 6L6GC's (maybe 20 hours on them) Let me know $1,199 Shipped to your door +3% if you use paypal.

I prefer Diezel lows & highs & Bogner midrange when mixing amps together. The low end of Uberschall is too loose for my taste.

I know you said that you didn't like VH4, but VH4 Ch4 is what fills up the gap you are talking about the best. Another important thing is the combination of speakers.

I've owned the Dual Rectifier and while I liked it, I preferred the Uber by far for both rhythms and leads.

I've always thought the Rectifier series was WAY overrated!

I sold my Dual after I bought my Uber. I say go for the Uber and don't look back. I liked my Dual Rec but the Uber really just takes it to a whole other lever.

I liked my Uberschalls better for recording and low volume playing.

I liked my Rectifiers a little better in the band mix.

No, that's an old lever.

The Uber takes it to a whole new lever.

But don't you lose the channel options on the Uber. Being an Uber is just 2 channels. Recto more versatile no?
