I think I want a Dual Rec for Xmas ..... now which one ??

I wonder...

Is the 90s RI tighter because of a tweaked circuit, or is it because we are comparing them to 30 year old amps with old components? My 5150 was dog shit when I got it, but it rips since I got it recapped. Those amps are about that age where they start to need caps and stuff.

Naw. I had a rev G back in the early 2000s and it sucked beyond belief. I didn't know about boosts back then...

The mt100 is even tighter than the 90s RI .
 
I really liked the MW Dual I had but it never got me quite there for thrashy rhythms that required super tight fast tracking response regardless of boost, cabs/speakers, guitar, etc. The 90s RI does and with better feel, clarity, and mids. It feels better under the fingers, has more grease/juice with tighter-faster response.
Can't disagree. The MW is a bit tighter than the G's but it does still need a boost if you are playing fast/technical metal.

I am just saying I think they are a better amp for the $$$ considering what Rev G's go for nowdays.

I haven't played the reissue yet, but it certainly gets rave reviews. I have a friend who bought one who absolutely loves it, so hopefully I can try one soon.
 
I think current 3 channel if playing it live. In the studio the RI seems good but that's just based on clips - I don't own one.

I always liked most dual/triple rectos honestly.
 
I'd wait and hold out for the RI Triple that's supposed to come out very soon from what I hear.

Makes sense given the internal gut shots. The circuit boards had some triple rec clues on them.

Ive got a ground zero triple rec and this thread is convincing me I need a dual rec RI lol

I think it seems/is tighter because the bass is less boomy and more usable.
I can run bass higher on the RI than I did with the others, and it gets fuller and punchier without overwhelming and flubbing out. The RI is the most balanced Recto I’ve played.
 
I would grab a RI, as well, were I in any position to be acquiring any gear any time

The real question is the Recto RI or the HRG RI
 
I bought G
Modded it to C
My tone to a T
Is all it can be
Now I want RI
Dual or Triple
Or maybe a MW
To go along with my Single
 
I would rather a Dual than a Triple on the reissue. I find Recto’s open up a little with some volume and I can’t trust an attenuator with a 150 watt amp.
