Spent some time with it today. Put it up against my two channel triple rectifier, just to see how they stack up. They're damn close, but for whatever reason, my triple just seems to have a little something that none of my other rectifiers ever had. A little bit more rawness and upper mid presence, and a hair tighter and punchier. The blackface dual sounds a little bigger, but has more of the typical low frequency push you'd expect out of a rectifier, making it just a tad bit looser and less cutting at the same time.
On the fence of what to do with it. Part of me wants to rehab it to it's former vidual glory, which would be cheap and a fun project, and I could also retube the power section with kt77 or e34l's and still be into it for less than I could sell it for. I could spend some time with it and come out even, or I could just sell it for a couple bucks profit and keep my trusty triple around.
Here it is sitting with the triple and my new mark Iv that I traded for today.
