Members GuitarGuy503 Posted September 23, 2010 Members Share Posted September 23, 2010 Just curious what you guys think of the NEW Mesa Dual and Triple Rectifier Multi Watt Heads? I really like multi watt thing and the idea of the improved clean channel. What do you guys think of them in comparison to the previous 3 channel Dual and Triple Rectifiers? Discuss......

Members Gary666 Posted September 23, 2010 Members Share Posted September 23, 2010 I just got a Single Rec. series II 50 watter. More than enough power unless you happen to tour all over playing stadiums. Don't know how it compares to the other Recs so......... yeah, ........

I haven't tried one yet, but since no one else has offered anything useful, I'll just tell you that I have heard from others that they are really good, and that Mesa seems to have addressed most of the complaints people had.

The Single Recto is actually pretty quiet for 50 watts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yourguitarhero Posted September 23, 2010 Members Share Posted September 23, 2010 I don't find my Dual Rec to be particularly loud.... Obviously not a bedroom amp but not stupid-hurts-my-brain like my Plexi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Savo Posted September 23, 2010 Members Share Posted September 23, 2010 Certainly looks interesting and sounds good in the demo vid. I'd like to check one out anyway [YOUTUBE]82trOdwh3-I[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Norton666 Posted September 23, 2010 Members Share Posted September 23, 2010 I couldnt tell any difference what so ever between the new Rectos and the last series. There are a couple of new options , but tone wise , they sounded no different to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jenksdrummer Posted September 23, 2010 Members Share Posted September 23, 2010 Difference between 50w and 100w is minimal. Looks like they integrated the same thing my Roadster has across the Rectifier series... I've noticed not much of a difference. And...it's not that loud of an amp...again as others have said, compared to a "peel the paint off the walls" Plexi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Stiletto, it seems like knocking it down to 50 watts cuts the balls off the amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Holy-diver Posted September 23, 2010 Members Share Posted September 23, 2010 The new triple I tried was awesome. The cleans weere dramatically improved. The other two channels were similar to the last series, so good amp imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't play the clean channel though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GuitarGuy503 Posted September 23, 2010 Author Members Share Posted September 23, 2010 I actually had already seen this. It's really hard to tell the difference from this video as the older one sounds very mirangey as to where the newer one sounds more focused and balanced. I'm gonna go to GC soon and probably ab the multi watt to the older 3 channel. I think the Mesa Rep gave the older one crap settings on purpose so it would seem more apparent that the newer model was "better". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zeppelin Rules Posted September 23, 2010 Members Share Posted September 23, 2010 I actually saw this already. I've been searching youtube the last few days. The older 3 channel sounds very middy and muffled as to where the new one sounds a bit more balanced. It's hard to tell the difference because the eqs are either set different or the amps voicings are slightly different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marshallman1 Posted October 19, 2013 Members Share Posted October 19, 2013 Got a new /old stock multi-watt 2010 triple rec and have been very happy so far. It has pleased me much more than the two DSL100'S I sold to get it. I am not impressed w/ the effects loop though , it sucks tone. I run a eq pedal through the loop to try and match the front end tone so it's no big deal. I have been very happy with the gain structure and texture using the stock 6L6 GC 440 STR power tubes. They have a full balanced tone. I may try some EL-34'S one day but not in a hurry. You will need a OD pedal in front to tighten it up a bit. I use a Japan SD-1 the next best would be a MXR GT-OD and third a Joyo Vintage OD . I run mine on spongy/recto tubes as opposed to bold/silicone diodes, orange channel vintage setting. this gives it a old hot rodded JCM800 sound that is impossible to achieve with the DSL'S. Even on the 150 watt setting it has a nice sag and response.Red ch. spongy/diodes modern setting for heavy rythum and tight bottom end.The spongy acts like a variac to reduce internal voltage and get you in the brown sound range.The clean ch. is okay , I run it on silicone diodes to get more sparkle, but I got spoiled w/ the DSL clean ch. , it was very nice,almost Fenderish.All in all it is impressive and extreemly flexible. the closest to my old JMP master vol 2203 I use to have years ago. I learned these settings from a guy who has two 2203's and a JMP he said it gets close to a hot rodded JCM800 and I agree it gets you in the ball park.
