Mesa RevF Recto kicks so much ass...3ch Rectos can suck it!

[Lasse Lammert]

I'm in serious love with my RevF Recto....all those new 3 channel models can suck it!
Wanna hear why?

Here you go (bear in mind, that this is not a decent mix yet, there's no bass guitar etc

I agree, I'm loving my "pre 500" modded 2 ch Triple!
It's so brutal now!

Kick ass video as always!

What were your settings? Did you boost it? I loved my old 2channel recto. I wanna get another to run stereo with my marshall

 

[Lasse Lammert]

Settings were something like
Master: 9:00
Pres: 10:00-11:00
Bass: 11:30-12:00
Mid: 10:00-11:00
Treb: 11:30
Gain: 12:00

Boosted with od808 drive:9:00 tone: 10:00 level:12:00

If you like it now, try it with a pair of KT88's and a pair of KT66's. My rev F hasn't gotten much play time lately, because I've been tearing it up on my Rev C!

But seriously, I think people blow the differences between the revisions way out of proportion. My rev C and rev F are really not much different from one another. My buddy brought over his early 2000's 3ch Triple rectifier, and outside of maybe having a touch more sizzle to it, it is just as tight.

Nice. Real close to my old settings, cept i used more mids(1to2 o'clock), and less treb(9 o'clock), and and raised the prez to make up for the low treb... Same boost and everything. I miss that critter

So my three channel Triple sucks? I thought it crushed.
Ok I'll put it up for sale and get a real amp.

By the way, the vid sounds great. Like to hear it with bass.

I own 3 2ch recs, RevG with Schumacher trannies, RevG rackto with mercury trannies, revf (this one), I've owned several later 2ch RevG with the newer trannies, as well as a 3 ch Rev.
I gotta say the differences between all of them are quite significant, especially between the revf and the 3ch RevG...almost like an entirely different amp imo

 

[Lasse Lammert]

The 3ch recs still kick ass though....just not as much as this one
