Found a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier "Rev G" at a great price so I made a 'drunk offer' and then the next day, a 'hungover apology' to wife
That's right. Can't really afford it right now as I'm in between jobs but I said what the hell. I told my beautiful wife that I would sell the Single Rectifier to help fund the Dual, and that the Dual was x2 as good.
Because everyone knows this amp and what it is capable of, I will spare you more of my crappy clips and the Review
Seriously, I really do not deserve any of the amps I have, except maybe my Peavey Vypyr as that is a practice/starter amp and that is definitely where I am at. So this thread will somewhat be the opposite of @ uzeurillus1on1982 Headfirst NAD. Special thanks to: braintheory, Metal1977, BesaMoogie, saxxamafone, Zen Amps, GJgo, Bram576, Racerxrated, dave74, and Totally Rad for answering all of my noob PM questions I actually need to go back and reread all of that. There is a lot to learn. More going on then my Rectoverb.
So far I think I prefer Red Channel, Silicone diode, Bold, Gain = 2pm, Treble = '0', Presence = 2pm but then again, I've had maybe 24 minutes on it so far let alone 24 hours. I also prefer it over the Single Rectoverb although the Rectoverb is no slouch either. The Dual definitely punches harder and cuts better. Obviously, it is 100w, but I have a feeling if I pulled 2 tubes I would say the same thing. My original plan was to swap the headshells because the Rectoverb shell is much sexier and I was never a big fan of the shiny diamond plate. Anyway, those chassis are different sizes (depth) so my bad for not double checking. I may consider painting the diamond paint black later on.
$1,400 including flight case and new Mesa branded tubes so I'd say that's pretty good.
Below are some pics including side by side. It was pretty clean when I got it but a nice cleaning of tube sockets and jacks are usually in order.
Packed really well:
I take pictures better than I play guitar
