Mesa channel switching delay?

[Dirtyking]

My buddies Single Recto half stack has a slight delay when he switches channels on his amp? Is this normal? Can it be fixed? Are all the Rectos like this?

Yeah, it's normal.


Fortunately, most all switches between clean and dirty happen on a downbeat, and you don't end up hearing it in a band mix.

i used to have a single recto and it did the exact same thing. bothered me to no end, but i didn't know what to do about it, and eventually ditched it for a dual recto.

So this is just a problem that plagues the Single Recto or all Recto's?

I honestly don't find it that bad - it's not like a loud pop, just a click from the head itself (lights switching) and then a pause... but seriously - if you're playing alone it doesn't really even matter. In a band situation, it'll get covered up just fine by a kick drum or snare hit. I can't see how it would be THAT much of a problem.
