I have stumbled across the opportunity to switch from my beloved triple rectifier to a late-model VH4. Currently, I am teetering on the fence about this ... push me one way or the other.

VH4 > Triple Recto. You can grab another Triple Recto anytime, anywhere.

VH4 hands down. 
You have to put in any cash I assume?

Rectifiers have their place. Some great metal albums were recorded with duals. (SYL, Nevermore for example)Rezamatix":19bzccim said:
That said, I'd take a VH4 over a Rectifier.

The VH4 owns the triple rec all day long. I could never really get along with the triples anyway

This is a no brainer, I dont ever recall ever hearing a triple recto that sounds great, but I can think of many VH4s that sounded awesome.

I'm not saying he shouldn't do the trade. But saying the Triple Recto "sucks"? Really? One of the most used amps of the 90's, that redefined popular guitar tone "sucks"?Rezamatix":1ivyage4 said:

Dual rectos are great, in fact I am looking to get another myself but the triple sucks.

The dual recto was the one that was used the most in the 90's, the single recto is pretty good too but I feel confident in saying that the triple sucks.

I thought Adam Jones used a Triple ? .... to be honest could hardly tell the difference in them and the Dual myself.

I only seen him with dual rectos since 93. The triple did not come out till late 94 if I remember correctly. I always wanted to ask Adam's tech this question just to be sure.

I thought the Triple and Dual came out at the same time .... but really have no idea ? I thought Adam never used a Dual to be honest.

My WIFI is loading very slow tonight. It took this long to download about a 1/3 of that video. From what I saw there is no way I could tell if that is a dual or triple ? At what time on that video could you tell if it is one or the other ?

I was going to say something about the logo size but I better ask the people on the Mesa forums to make sure I am correct these are dual rectos because I may very well be wrong.

I played a triple on a few different occasions but I can remember the first time I ever played one the most because it was such a bad experience. I had played a dual rec and thought it sounded good so I expected the triple to sound even better....wrong
I really did think it sucked IMO but to be fair I was so let down I didn't spend much time with it. On the other hand, when I first played a VH4 my jaw hit the ground, I was in awe of what a great sounding amp it was and would still love to pick one up some time, that's my personal experience
