Mesa 90ies Triple Rectifier

[Racerxrated]

Aren't Malamutes cold weather dogs?

Yep!

That just tells you how fn cold it really is. Even she doesn't want to be out in this shit.

Any brutal clips yet?

 

[TheGreatGreen]

Mine came in.

Sounds great! I need to spend more time with it but the differences between it and the 90's Dual seem to be pretty subtle overall.

There are no obviously different preamp voicings I can hear so far.

The poweramps are very close. The Dual is maybe a tiny bit more mid focused, while the Triple is maybe just a bit wider with a tiny bit more more upper sizzle and low extension, but it's subtle enough that I can't be totally confident the differences aren't because I just moved a knob on one of the amps or something. I haven't really opened them up to see how much more clean headroom the Triple has, everything I'm describing is from listening on monitors.

Awesome sounding amps.

Very nice. So all the positive attributes from the Dual RI were carried over to the Triple then?

Sounds like it to me, yep!

What can I say? I like amps with 6 power tubes!

I used a Sharpie to black it out even more!

You need to black out your Penta.

 

[lol]

Maybe I’m the odd man out but I always liked rectos for non metal stuff.

When I fired up the 2203, and double boosted it

What pedals did you use?

 

[Simon Dorn]

Rev G Triple is my favorite bedroom amp.

Anything smaller just don't make no sense.

 

[Simon Dorn]

Got the Triple last night. It's a beast! It's tight and tracks fast. I'm going to use it to heat the house today!View attachment 430392View attachment 430393

Do you find the fan inside annoying?

An 86 SD1 and OD1X.

They were good enough for Allan Holdsworth.

I would like to just have all of the RI amps set up in one room, ready to go on Mesa Cabs so I could try them all at once.

Those 5u4’s in the Trident are comically big

Nope. Can't hear it with the amp cranked.

Those are NOS Winged C rectifiers. Much better than the stock ones.
