Tremoverb Help!!!

[BeZo]

That sounds like me when I got my third 5150 a few years ago. I had two before, played bass next to countless others, and have played FJA modded and the likes. Mine was dull and lifeless, almost saggy. It was the caps. In both cases we're talking about amps that are 20-30 years old or so. The caps might have gone bad.

My buddy fixed up my 5150 for me. He did the choke and tubes first and it still sagged. Putting fresh caps in it made all the difference. Hopefully that isn't the issue, but if that's it, it'll need an overhaul.

For the record, my block letter 5150 owns now. If you fix that amp up, it will be your favorite amp. I miss my Tremoverb dearly.

Most Tverbs need to be serviced because they have LDR problems. You should plan on this when buying one. Do yourself a favor & send it to Mesa for a proper servicing.

Here's a playthrough of mine for tonal reference. Best cleans I've ever had. It's the one amp I regret selling.

 

[Beyond Black]

yeah I would definitely get it checked up. Who knows what kind of fuckery goes on with amps these days. I think Ola said the Tremoverb is like his desert island amp so I cant imagine it being THAT hard to dial in. If you have some experience opening amps up have a look at the board, check the voltages, and poke around with a chopstick. If it was a Marshall type build I would open it up but considering its a Mesa I would have to get a pro to look at it.

I bought it BECAUSE of Ola’s demo. Good God, did you hear that beast? It even sounded nasty without the boost. Oh well, still got my Mark IV!

One thing to do, if you want to give it a chance is consider sending it to Mesa to have a checkup. Probably less than 200 bucks, and they'll let you know if someone messed around in there..that may be part of the problem? But I totally understand wanting to return it. I don't gel with duals but each one I tried (Rev G 2 channel) I could get decent sounds out of them, esp with a boost. Something is amiss with that one..It should come alive with some volume though, which should reduce the fizzy nature of the gain...

I’m just gonna ship it back to the seller on Monday, get a refund. Maybe I’ll try another one someday, but I’ll have to hear it first, or really trust the seller.

I had a tremoverb that had the same issue. it was the ldrs. fixed it and 6 months later it happened again. some people have sent theirs to mesa and it only works for a few months and then goes back to the awful sound. return that amp and move on with your life. you will have to change all 19 ldrs and that will be close to $300 with no guarantees that it will fix the problem. never again will i buy a tremoverb. it will never work.

btw, at least 5 techs looked at the amp and none were able to fix it, including a mesa authorized tech on the phone with mesa.

Yeah, I’m definitely moving from this one. Sounds like a poor design. Unfortunate, since it’s supposedly such a great sounding amp. I wouldn’t know.

Thanks again for all of the suggestions. I’m moving on from Tremoverb land. Sounds like a big headache with faulty LDR’s, preset and future. I’d really like to have a nasty Recto in the arsenal, cause a good one dialed in right is a beautiful thing. There’s just so many damn versions to choose from. Which Recto is the best for a killer, tight (boosted), brutal tone? I heard two channel Triple, two channel Double? I have no idea.

Rev G or F Triple, or a newer Multi Watt Triple. The 150w power section dictates the most brutality. IMO. They are tighter and less mid heavy than the Duals. From my exp anyway. One option is to grab a 2 channel Triple, and send it to Mesa for the Rev C mod. Like 200 bucks for the mod. If you want the earlier Rev tone, which is brighter/tighter than the later versions. But all can be easily tightened with a boost.

Ola has me wanting to get a dual rec as well. Its really never been my thing. I do have a Mark IV on the way which is a tone I enjoy. I know this is kinda wishing especially since I'm not rolling in dough but I would like to have the standard amps if you know what I mean? I have a 5150 and a hot rodded marshall type and a Mark IV on the way. I would like to get something Orange for some doomy goodness and lately Ive been thinking about a Dual Rec also an standard plexi or Jcm might be nice. A friend in Germany who I met through Ola's FB group just got an MT15 and he sent me some clips. Damn it sounds good.

I like tight, but still like it thick with a little sag. I hate the clanky, overly tight Fortin tones. Not into it. I like a big, thick tone, thus my total infatuation with my new Mark IV. I’m in awe of that amp. It’s a brute. A fucking rabid, 800 lb gorilla that makes everything sound thin and weak in comparison....So you think a Multi Watt Triple Rec, huh?
150 watts is kind of scary. They still sound go at low volumes? Do you have to tip the Richter scale to get the goods? 3 channel or two? Don’t need three.

I'm a more recent 'venturer' into the recto thing..yrs back I had a single rec and hated it. But I didn't know much about how to really run one, i.e. with V30s and with a boost. My recent exp has been with the Rev G Duals and Triples; I've heard the new Multi Watts are very good and closer to the earlier 2 channel versions which are thought to be the better ones, than say the 3 channel non Multi that came out in 2000 or so. The Dual Rev Gs I had were early small logo versions; I liked them but couldn't t totally dial out the low end 'bloat' even with a boost. Very mid heavy too, I always thought they were scooped.
Now enter the Triple. I had 2 earlier Triples, Rev G also and they were much less mid heavy and no bloated low end like the duals. Pretty tight stock; with a boost they were damn near perfect in a Mesa way. I think the boosted Rev G Triple is closer to a boosted SLO than the dual but with way more tight low end. Not the same as an SLO but that power section bloom is similar. They do need volume to do their thing like any amp; but they don't need ear bleed volume. I haven't played a Multi Watt but they have a switch to take each channel (3) from 150 to 50 watts...so they probably are better for low volume playing. But I didn't think the Rev G Triple was a terrible low volume amp..
My choice is for a 2 channel Rev G or F if you can find one...but I say Triple all the way for the no low end 'bloat' and less mids, plus more inherent tightness out of the gate.

What I learned, is most of those extremely heavy "Recto tones" were actually Triple Rectos, not Dual Rectos. Cannibal Corpse, Nevermore, Testament, White Zombie, etc.... all Triple Rectos on the recordings, not Duals.

I never got along with Dual Rectos back when you could find them easily in stores, but I have always thought Triples sounded better. I have had an old 2-Channel Triple Recto for years now. It sounds like a sledgehammer.

 

[GJgo]

These guys are right. Triples are the shit. This video sums up the difference quite nicely.

If I was forced to only have one amp it would be a MW Triple.

I’m kinda in the same boat. I’ve got the Mark and a Monomyth Marshall. There’s not too much they can’t do, but I’ve always wanted a nasty Recto. It’ll be next...

Last week or so I tried to work with that guy to no avail. Totally unreliable and horrible communication. We were working out a trade for my KSR Ares + cash from him and all communication stopped. I hit him up a bunch of times, offered to buy his amp outright, no response. Then suddenly his listing is pulled, he says he was sick and down for a few days, and decided not to sell. That’s cool but throw me a fuckin message, ya know? I don’t care how sick I am, gear transactions are life and death, and will commence. lol: I wouldn’t buy ice water from him in Hell.

Rev G triples are easy to find. Rev F are a different story, and you will pay for them. That said, even with Rev G I'm partial to early ones. I happen to know a guy in Chicago with an early blackface small logo G triple for sale now. Same as mine or I'd have already bought it.

Rev G triples are easy to find. Rev F are a different story, and you will pay for them. That said, even with Rev G I'm partial to early ones. I happen to know a guy in Chicago with an early blackface small logo G triple for sale now. Same as mine or I'd have already bought it.

Hello, what do you make of this? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mesa-Boogie-Tr ... Swq4NelPYY

None of the other Rectifier amps sound like the Tremoverb. The voice is slightly different.

Most of the amps never had a LDR problem. I've never heard of anyone that sent the amp to Mesa to fix it having the problem again.

I think it's about a grand too much money, even for a F. Especially an F in a foreign country.
