I have a 2 channel Mesa Dual Recto that I'm thinking of sending to Mesa for maintenance and modding to pre-500 specs.
Just a little back-story about this particular amp. I bought it a few years ago and it was messed with. The pots were not original and I'm not sure what else was changed in it. I had it returned to stock by a mesa authorized dealer, but the amp never really sounded great. About a month ago, I got a fantastic deal on 1994 Rev G Recto and I bought it. Low and behold, the 2 amps sound a different. The new recto sounds great and the old one I had sounds like crap in comparison.
Does anyone have any experience with Mesa doing mods and maintenance?
