I love that secret path reverb --I'm getting it plus the steel park circuit, both built-in to the laney cub supertop. I'll still want the mini-rec though. And the rockerverb. And the ironheart. And the...
Been dreaming about a Mesa since I was a teenager, so when I picked up my guitar again... 15 years later, I pulled the trigger and got a Mini Rectifier. I love it. As you say, it's pretty versatile with nice cleans, a great crunch and excellent hi-gain sounds. It really has a huge sound. I don't use the 10w mode very often, but your video reminded me that the voicing is quite different between 25 and 10w so I definitely need to switch to 10w every now and then. Recently, I got a Mesa Triple Crown 50w which is massive, too, but as expected, quite different from the Mini Rec. Maybe you'll get that one, too, and you'll be able to make a review of it. As always, excellent video. Great job, Jon!
You really are good at dialing in great tones on all your gear. Your demo riffs are freaking sick too!! I have had my eye on the Fireball 25 for quite some time. Then I saw your video with the Ironball SE and I really like that with the additional features. Now I watched this and it sounds incredible as well.
Great comment, these three amps are also on my list. Both of the Engls and the Mini Rec. Been at it for a bit and still can't decide. Did you end up getting one of them?
The Mini and the Rectoverb have unique tones for sure, very mid present and suited for rock and country and what not. I know players of bright guitars like Strats and Teles will really appreciate them as well as us Rock Hounds looking for killer tone. My Rec pushed with a Fluxdrive and coupled with EMGs is brutal. The ‘rec tone’ will NOT get lost in the mix.
@@oldguyjammin9732 Single coil guitars rarely sound bad with Mesa amps. The saddest thing for Mesa was their Rectos being associated with active hum buckers and Metal, essentially pigeon-holing fantastic, versatile amps. The versatility of the Mini should not surprise any fan of Mesa amps, but I think it's capability to sound equally as good in a mix, with it's own character, is definitely surprising. I personally made the mistake of associating Mesa with Metal and as a piss take, tried a Dual Rectifier with a Telecaster in a store many years ago. I quickly realised what a mistake I had made about Mesa! Bordering Fender Cleans, driven Plexi-esque tones, all the way to Tool. With a fucking Telecaster!?
@@3rdStoreyChemist - yep, my hats of to the Mesa guys and gals for being able to create an amp that covers such a broad range of tones and sounds. From Strats to EMGs tuned to drop B :) F’n Eh?!?!
Smaller gigs :-) I've had an opportunity to play this beast on the same outdoor stage as Kenny Wayne Sheppherd Band. With 112 cab and monitors no issues at all. Actually have been exclusively using this amp since 2013 for everything, it is built to last and sounds amazing. Thank you for a wonderful review as always
Had been searching for a V-Twin pedal for a long time and prices for those have been climbing. Found one of these without bag or footswitch for $360. Grabbed it and cannot wait to hear it through my Vibro King cab
This is the best sounding demo of this amp I have heard. Nobody captures the detail of it and most people don't even bother to mic the speaker or do comparisons that keep the same variable. Im probably gonna end up buying this
Yeah it's good but he is using a lot of IR's, probably EQ, and other pedals. The real test is to hear it straight up just the guitar plugged into the amp. I mean you can make any amp sound good with all the IR's, and EQ and every other technology that's out now.
I've played a lot of different amps over the last 25 years or so. Just picked up one of these mesa mini rectifier twenty fives. It is a scary sounding amp especially on 25w modern setting. Absolutely insane and I love it ! The mesa roar is something else..Extremely articulate and responsive. I can't believe the wide variety of tones mild to wild without a doubt. Lots of adjustability, not a one trick pony at all. My 6505+ 60 watt head conversion is gonna be gathering dust now sadly 😅
I love mine, and I'm not absolutely a metal player, I use it with my cover band for everything from classic to hard rock. Great classic tones and that unmistakable recto growl, and tons of db for such a small amp. The only minus that i've found is that it doesn't clean very well in the pushed channel with guitar volume like some single channel amps do. Great video and playing!
This one definitely surprised me. Sounds great at so many settings. Any thoughts on this vs the ENGL Fireball 25? Those two are top of my list right now.
This is the best sounding amp demo I've heard where light distortion to full on metal is concerned. I really want to get one of these but I've read horror stories about their QC issues and if I buy it used, I'm worried they're selling it because they have a bad one.
I really dig that clean riff you played at the beginning with the LTD. Is that something you wrote for the video? I like the bass line and how it changes keys. Reminds me of something I would write. The last riff you were playing had a really cool riff in it too at the higher frets. I would like to see how the amp sounds just by itself though, no reverb, no IR's, no EQ. I always found Mesa's have to much low end.
I have both, like you I started with the MKV:25 and got the mini rect later. I love it, both great amps but the simplicity (in comparison to the mk) appeals to me. I found it sounds a bit thin at low volumes I had to buy a attenuator to be able to use it at home but it was worth it. This thing really comes alive when the volume is up a bit. Its built like a tank too.
I remember hating mesa rectifiers for many years because of that flubby low end. Then I found out that pretty much everyone puts an overdrive in front of it and all of a sudden the amp made sense. This sounds great, these modern mini heads are like magic.
i think I've mentioned before, I'm saving up for the Rectoverb combo, just cause its got the Spring Reverb. This video has further convinced me that's the right move. Thanks for the video! Your riffs are killer!
Get an EVH 5153 6L6, it's way cheaper and sounds bad ass all the gain, then just buy a cheap reverb pedal. I think nowadays you can get any tone you want from any amp especially if you use EQ, IR's, and pedals. That's why I like reviews where they just play the amp straight up. Guitar into the amp and that's it.
man I really like your videos on rectifiers... keep em coming! Also, I have never seen you play a Neural DSP plugin before. Would love to see you review/demo Neural DSP plugins. I think they sound great trought Own Hammer IRs... Is there a reason why you haven't made a video about them (I'm just curious lol)?
HI I really liked your review of this amp. Not only did you go though all the features, you used various guitar pickups and tunings. I wish all amp reviews was this good,!
I've the Mini Rect, it sounds preety like the Single Recto with EL34's. Without that "flubby" bass when with 6L6's. The EL84 makes the Mini Recto a very versitile amp, and we also can get some honest plexi sound with the clean/crunch channel.
plexi sound? NONE of the mesa mini reviews i've watched got even close to a "plexi-like sound"... i was thinking on selling my Origin 20H to get this Mesa but i guess i'll miss the classic rock tones from a plexi-style amp more than i miss the modern high gain today... got a little disapointed with the Mesa :(
I am surprised to hear what this little thing can do. I was looking for a Mark V:25 or Mark V:35 as my next purchase but this video makes me push towards the Mini recto.
Excellent review. I have a JVM and love it, but hate to haul it around. I got a PRS MT and the gain channel is stellar. The clean channel is crap. It is super clean and lacks dynamics. What I play goes from very clean to mild and mid level distortion to heavy and have to have an amp that can cover it all. I have used MB in the past and loved it. May have to try this one. Thanks again.
Depends if you wanna do metalica go with the REC, if you wanna do black sabbeth and other british amp users go with the Laney. I would say that the rec is more versatile as it has 2 completely independent chanles each with 2 different voicings, I cannot really speak for laney as I have a LC50 from the 90s, but that was made int the U.K so Idk where quality with them is rn.
Great Great review. Very thought out and executed. I've owned several 2 Channels over the years and even Serial #R00149 reversion D I believe it was and kick my self in the nuts every morning for selling it. Looking for a recording (which I know won't be comp. to what I had) amp that is a Mesa and this one just might fit the bill. Until I get 00149 back........ Liked & Subscribed.
This demo/review was well done. Thanks for using different guitars with different tunings and pickup configurations. I may have to add one of these to my arsenal now.
Just bought one of these! I know you’re not a mesa engineer or anything, but tube amps are very new to me with this being my first. Do the tubes always glow that bright every time the amp is on? I played for about 5 minutes cranked insanely, left then came back to play again later in the day to only see that all the tubes are now dim. Do they get brighter with the more gain you add on channel 2 or is my amp just fucked??? By the way sorry for the long question I’ve just been dreaming about having a mesa amp since high school and I want to make sure mine is working properly.
Super sick but seems as if they are pretty hard to find you these days and for what they cost new you can pick up a used rectifier for the same price or maybe a little bit more. As always sounds great
Hi Jon, hope you can answer a question for me. At the moment Mesa amps are really hard to find here in Europe. so I was wondering - which amp(s) in your collection do you feel sounds somewhat similar to this little beast? I currently own a SLO30, Marshall SC20, Marshall 1987x and a Revv Generator 7-40.. so I'm looking for something different from those, essentially those scooped modern metal tones. What about the Engl Fireball 25 for example? Does it come close to a Mini Rectifier in tone? Thanks!
Awesome vid, great playing , just as good as your 12 tones on mini too. Question for ya, i have a mini and looking and considering another Mesa for stereo, which would u go with ? Keep up the great tone vids 🤟
Had this for about 6 months and really don't know much about tube amps let alone ohm . I've always used solid state till I heard the mess boogie mini at a local show I was blown away. I really don't understand the ohm I recently came across a Bugera 70 watt 8ohm 2x12 cab given to me. So do I have a 140 watt 16 ohm ? I don't want to damage the Mini Mess boogie
From the perspective of time you had it ....and current offerings ...which one of these MINI amps would you chose for versitality of it ?.....playing anything from OASIS to Dream Theatre Cover bands ...Cheers
Damn dude, these riffs just keep getting tastier and tastier! Question - how would you say this amp compares to the Invective MH and the Fireball 25? They're what I'm looking at currently. And thanks for making great content!
That green channel push mode.... wow man. that was the one that pushed me over the edge to want this. How do you compare it to the TransAtlantic TA-30 ? Im choosing between these two. help.
I gig so anything less than a 50 watts makes me cringe. I do not want to need to mic anything but vocals in small clubs. I would rather deal with an attenuator then not have enough level.
Fair enough! These small amps are not for everybody. A little amp like this doesn't have the same clean headroom as a 100w amp for very loud playing, I get that
@@SonicDriveStudio I am 74 and still front a an original Prog Metal original material power trio. One thing I know for sure as things change in both directions from gigging or even not for long periods. One never knows what the future is so buying an expense amp that may in future be underpowered is a bad move. I never saw myself playing at 74 ...and from my own choice. I have a 50 watt Plexi that does the job everywhere and anywhere.
I recently picked up a Rectoverb but find I can’t quite get it scooped enough, can you recommend a speaker replacement? Right now it has a UK V30 in it. Thank you \m/
I already have a Laney Iron heart IRT Studio, do you think getting this one will be an upgrade? My laney is really good, I just play in my bedroom and I don't how how to justify getting this haha
I came over here to check this amp out because some dude on Facebook is saying that the gain channels on this amp are unusable. Yeah, I don't get it, either.

I wish I can get one soon. Mesa amps are so expensive but they worth investment
Is there a point of comparison with the ENGL Ironball lunchbox? I own one & I love it. Wanted to get your 2 cents on the comparison. Thanks.
Beautiful sound that Rectifier has. What Cabinet would you recommend besides the one you played ( as long that is not very expensive.

Which one should I get for heavy metal. This or the Peavey 6505 mh mini or the diezel mini

Maybe consider an EQ in the loop?
Can you please explain how you recorded the guitar amp? Torpedo CaptorX?
Whoa loving that pushed channel! Remind me of like 2000s emo lol
Red Channel Modern did not disappoint!
VERY NOISY ON VINTAGE SETTING ON CHANNEL 2. ANY SUGGESTIONS TO TAME IT
My amp tech really hates Mesa Boogie amps.😆 I cut my teeth on British style amps, but I do have an affinity for Mesa Boogie amps.
So many amps...so many nice guitars! AwEsOme
Are these better than a series 2 single rectifier? Assuming it's in good working order.
It definitely does Rectifier Thing!!!!
I already have a Laney Iron heart IRT Studio, do you think getting this one will be an upgrade? My laney is really good, I just play in my bedroom and I don't how how to justify getting this haha
They sound very different so yeah, absolutely!
mesa boogie should hire you 👏👏👏
Can u please do mini rectifier vs Joyo zombie II shootout please
Do you still need a load box for the mini amps?
Could this keep up with a drummer in terms of volume used with a closed back 2x12 with V30s?
I haven't tried that myself. Some say definitely yes, other are doubtful. I guess it depends on your drummer too. I'd say it's pretty loud
I came over here to check this amp out because some dude on Facebook is saying that the gain channels on this amp are unusable. Yeah, I don't get it, either.
It sounds amazing!
Love the zm prs
Mini rectifier head or mark v 25 head? And also can anyone tell me what's the difference between mini rectifier and rectoverb 25 combo?
Channeling some Billy talent/at the drive in at the 630 mark
is he also plugged into a AxeFX ? 14:12 in the video
sorry for the silly question. How are you coming out of the amp and using an IR? are you using an OX?
Loadbox
