Whoa just relax bro...

Ha. I'm glad he shares em anytime one of us newbies pop up. We should just go ahead and make a spreadsheet or setting form tho, labeled "Sawal's Mesa Recto Setting Guide".

Thanks!!

I had a Rectoverb 25. Great amp for the $ and 2xel84s. Same with the Mk V 25.

I found instructions on how to do the serial loop mod. Will be implementing once I'm past my return period at GC, or when something in the emporium moves.

I also read there's a cap that needs replaced to retain bass with the effects loop engaged. Jeremy recommended bypassing the reverb/trem. Haven't found how to do that yet.

Yeah, mine is the 50w head. I like it for its cleans and because it is super quiet. Still has the Recto grunt and sounds great with the Dual together. Can't speak to bypassing reverb but I just removed the tank

Not aware of a capacitor change for the loop but wouldn't surprise me. If mine has any less bass it is for the better because it is already bass heavy as you know. The C mod really cleaned all of this up and made it tighter for sure. Here the notes from what my tech guy did to mine if you are interested:

I started the list in 1994, wish I labeled them, so I knew who's setting it is

Buddy came over and played with the TOV.
Here's an ambientish clip, Suhr Modern, Carl Martin Timmons compressor, flanger, KOT, EQD Dispatch Master, looper into clean channel.
He's quite persnickety about his gain sound, preferring fluid, saturated, ez to play, and thoroughly enjoyed the modern channel with a TS.

Comparing pedals here, but...that TOV!
Sounds really good, even without the pedals:
