      @Nicko Lps That's subjective, and genre dependent. Blues, ect yes, this is pretty true. Lots of HM2 based Swedish tones true also, but that's not the clean channel you're hearing, that's a pedal that's literally designed to be a stand in for a high gain preamp section. Best? Best for what? High gain channel of a Rectifier head is the best for the genres that require that kind of tone. It's not best for playing country. I'm really intrigued as to how the clean channel of a cranked amplifier of any type is "best" for heavy stuff unless you are using a high gain pedal in the particular contexts where pedals are preferable to amp distortion, such as Swedish death metal, stoner doom, and whatever it is Sunn o))) is doing, which I will reiterate is not really about the clean channel at all, and arguably could be achieved by bypassing the preamp altogether and going straight into the power amp with your dirt pedals. Distortion and fuzz pedals are acting as preamps. And don't talk to me about boost or overdrive into a clean channel, that's not likely to achieve the sorts of tones used in the heavy genres these guys work in. And I say that as someone who loves a good overdriven clean channel. There is no "best" Sunn amps were unsuccessful for good reason, they were too clean for guitar players and just as good for bass as a lot of other much more established brands. But for what Sunn o))) are doing they are indispensable. Fender amps are an integral part of many many classic genres, but they are completely unsuitable for heavy stuff, just as you wouldn't buy a Engel or Diezel to play rockabilly. What is "best"? The only answer is that it depends.

    I honestly love the high mids on the Rectifier, rather than the low end. It has such a recognizable "CRGK" in the top end, along with it's preserved dynamics makes it cut through dense mixes so well without it just sounding like edgy noise!
    I do like how big the low end makes the guitars sound, but I do almost always turn down the bass on the amp because otherwise takes over the bass too much in my experience

      @@PippPriss There is no full "DIY kit" for that amp, but some dude who's selling PCBs on eBay. However, they are ridiculously overpriced and I was quite lucky that I found someone on EKA (german craigslist) who was selling a set of those for a reasonable price. For the rest, I basically took my own Rev F as an example of where to put the PCBs/parts/tube sockets etc. and went from there, since I changed quite a lot (toroidal power transformer, MIDI switching unit, 12V supply for switching and floor pedal) and completely replaced the over-complicated switching matrix of the original Mesa with a more modern relay design.
      For populating the PCB, I basically took all the specs from the original layout regarding resistor/capacitor values and ratings. You can find a lot of detailed gut shots of old 2ch Rectifiers online.
      I also posted my progress and troubleshooting/trials to a thread in the "Musiker-Board". It's in german but maybe you can get some ideas&inspiration from the pictures/sound files there.

    When I used to own my 1995 Mesa Recto black diamond plate w/ Mesa EL 34, huge difference. I would change from 6L6 to el34. One day I used EL 34 on a gig one night, one guitarist came in that night thought I modded it. Love that sound too. That is why I ended up buying a Road King2, so I can interchange with the progressive linkage between 6L6 & El 34 or both. I wish I never sold my Rev F. That still sounds more dynamic. I saw a few interviews that Mike Soldano in the very beginning used to tinker with Mesa MK 2bs before he came up with his SLO 100s.

    @jimshomestudio 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Whatever blows your hair back. For me I like to use rack mount power amps, they’re always two channel so you can power two different speaker cabs from them, so that’s what I do. From Mesa, the 2:One Hundred. From Marshall the EL34 50/50, and from Peavey the Classic 50/50. These are the output sections for 6 rack preamps, from Mesa the Rec Pre, from Marshall the JMP1, and then ADA, Rockman, KSR, and the new Black Widow MGP. The speakers can cabinets are big changes to the personality of any amp, and 4x cabs have proven to sound more woody, which is nice especially for the Marshall sounds. I don’t get really modern metal sounds from my guitars, always have been into 80s sounds, and have tried to get closer to Ratt and Accept style sounds. I’m kinda new and amateur, but learning how to mix from all of these YT videos. No real outboard compressors, but use a Waves mix Buss G comp, and that really allowed me to record loud audio and not worry about killing it with level reduction/peak reduction. Learning phase and sample analysis was one of the biggest caveats. I wanted to get all kinds of great sounds, and focused a lot on the Marshall sounds, since back then Mesa didn’t exist. But having a 2:100 allows me to try all kinds of speakers with it, and so far the V30 and Creamback are my go to. I have some Eminence as well, but the 4x cabs are really what brought all of the nice woody sound. Still want to get an AKG mic set back, and hear more of the room. It’s a lot of factors, and I don’t really experiment with it all very often. I play every other week or so. I don’t play every day. It’s a hobby. Thanks for teaching us what you can, I learn a lot from all of you guys.

    i never cared for Rectifiers until I first got to play one and ever since I've been in love with them. Though personally I love the three channel Rectifiers and feel they just have that meat, that anger, that saturation I love in an amp with also a nice deep clean channel that I want in all my amps.
    I played a 2000's 3 channel triple years ago but I have no idea what year or revision it was since I didn't know anything about amps or remember to take a picture. Hopefully I can get a wayback machine to find it on guitar center's website at thst specific location.
    I currently own a 2020 Multi-Watt and I love it so much and find it to really be my favorite amp to play with even over my JCM 2000 and 5150 Iconic. It's truely such a unique amp and not for that much money compared to other boutique amps. I've found very few nice and expensive amps really compete with the rectifier even at higher price points and twice the amount of features.
    Though I also didn't like the Badlander at all. I thought a tight, modern Rectifier that doesn't need a boost would be cool but when I played it I was very let down by the overall lack of low end resonance compared to my dual. Also they made the Badlander combo's and open back which is stupid to do that to a RECTIFIER amp which is all about low end and closed back cabs.
    Also I will say that personally I like the Tube Rectification but you do lose a fair bit of tightness and fast percussive palm mutes. I personally have my Multi-watt on the modern voice for both Orange and Red but I pulled back the treble on the red and set it to be the only channel with tube rectification. That way I have this tight, percussive, fast, mid-focused Orange channel and this big, beefy Red channel.
    Overall, good amp even though the SoldonBro's hate on it for being only half the cost of an SLO.

    I own a 3 channels Dual Rectifier (from 2009) for 2 years now, and honestly, I never found a satisfying sound, with flubby/muddy lows at high gain, and never found a satisfying balance between the 3 channels. It's one of my dream amp, and a great disappointment. With the effects loop adding extra frequencies and volume changes (adding an EQ in the loop is a true challenge !), I decided to mod my Rectifier instead of sell it. Just changing a cap (cathode bypass cap on V1A tube), changing the gain pot on red channel and bypassing the effects loop buffer, it's a new amp, keeping the original Rectifier character, but hugely more tweakable and manageable. And I'm sure I can get better modifying some caps on other stages... But right now, I LOVE my Rectifier. A few components for a few euros/bucks and a little know-how (the internet is your friend), it's simple, right?

    The SLO100 actually has a generally superior power amp - it's got that _massive_ output transformer, more capacitance in the supply nodes than Mesa, and they have more headroom - the reason the Mesa _sounds_ more dynamic is because it doesn't run any global power amp negative feedback in modern mode. Short version, without negative feedback has more voltage gain (open loop gain, if that means anything, refers to gain with the negative feedback loop open - i.e. not connected) and has a higher output impedance and less even frequency response because of that.

    i have an early 3 channel recto. surprisingly great clean channel if you ever decide to use it. and Fluff is absolutely right, any rectifier is pretty much the same sounding, the most difference ican tell is some of the early 2 channels and Revisions sound like they have some kind of filter on the high gain channels. its not a bad thing, just different. almost like your recording the same amp through different mics.

    My two channel triple rectifier was incredible. Don’t know what revision it was but I bought it used. The tone sounded to me like it zipper sizzled. Like each string was on fire and so clear on the read channel. That was my first tube amp and I realized I could use more than 3 strings at a time

  • @TroyPosey

    I have a 1995 Dual Rec Rev-G (rare factory blackout tread plate and grill) with 6L6's, and a Legendary Tones Mr. Scary Mod in the V3 preamp tube slot (HUGE boost in clean gain, because you can back the preamp gain down to keep things tight). And I have a new custom shop (blackout) Badlander 100 EL34 with a Mr. Scary Mod in the V2 preamp tube slot, which turned the Badlander into a fire-breathing monster! Super tight, but absolutely massive amounts of clean gain and tons of headroom.
    What I love about them, is that they both sound amazing, but also different at the same time. Ryan said he didn't think the Badlander was a true Rectifier, but I strongly disagree. I feel that the Badlander 100w has MUCH more headroom and depth to the tone, compared to the 50 watt version. This is why I got the 100w version, after hearing both, the 50 seemed very "anemic" and thin. But the 100 was bold and had that deep Rectifier "echo" (headroom) sound, and had that low end thump that hits you right in the chest.
    I like running the Mr. Scary Mods because it basically does the same thing as a Tube Screamer, but internally, and you can basically compensate to "turn the screamer off" by just backing down the amp's gain knob to retain your factory amount of gain. For example, I run my Mr. Scary Mod's gain knob wide open, but then I turn down the amp's actual preamp gain knob (on the front of the amp) to about the 2 o'clock position. This means that my preamp is only working 5/8 of a full load, keeping the amp's tone tight and articulate (not flubby), but with all the added gain from the Mr. Scary Mod. So, modded, my amp is actually producing about 1.5x the amount of gain a normal Dual Rec produces on my settings. If you crank both up, you can get nearly twice the gain of a factory Dual Rec...But the amp gets very loose and flabby sounding.
    And while most of yall might think I'm crazy for this, I'm running my Mesa's through an old Blackstar Series One PRO 412 cabinet with Celestion V30's. I've had that cab, and my old 2009 Series One 100w EL34 head for years. After doing tons of research, I have found out that basically the fairly rare PRO Series cabinets were a direct clone of the Mesa Rectifier cabs, even down to the internal baffle designs, and V30 speakers. The same wood (marine-grade Birch), same thickness, same specs, same joinery styles in the corners and joints. The only differences are like maybe a 1/8" or 1/4" difference in external dimensions. Other than that, the internals are identical. They even sound just like a Rectifier cab. @Kohle Audio Kult I still hope to see you get hold of one of these rare Blackstar cabs over in Germany, if you can, and would love to see some side-by-side sound tests next to a real Mesa Rectifier cab with V30's.

    Got my early model triple channel dual rectifier for $1300 through my drummers brother who worked at the big brand guitar store at the time. I was 15… bought with cash. The downside - I ran it through the bottom of the barrel crate 4x12 cab. Still sounded alright, but I wish I had the extra cash for 2x12 Avatar or Mesa cab at the time. Sold it about 10 years later on EBay for $1300 plus shipping. I still miss that amp.

    I don't begrudge anyone their nerdy passions. These are great amps to be sure. I belive you can get good tones out of any amp & guitar combo if you work on it. We love what we love & usually dump on anyone else who doesn't agree. I love my GBX SUPERBUG (early 70s Canadian solid state with Celestion greenbacks) but I'll play through any3to get the job done.

    I remember how noticeably different (in a good way) post-1994 Napalm Death sound is in terms of tone, just when they switched to Rectos (I think they used some weird combination of Mesa Mark 3 and hot rodded JCM800 before that).

    Question: the back of my single rectifier has a single 8 ohm speaker out and two 4 ohm outputs. I usually use a Mesa 2x12 8 ohm cab plugged in the amps 8 ohm out, obviously.
    I also have a Harley Benton 2x12 cab that's 8 ohms.
    Would plugging both 8 ohm cabinet's into the two 4 ohm outputs on the back of the amp be correct?
