Mesa/Boogie Rectoverb series I (relist)

[FretFire]

Well, I had to pull the original listing because I needed the amp for a gig that got dropped in my lap. Now that it's done, the amp is back up for sale.

Series I Single Rectifier Rect-O-Verb. Two channels w/ two modes per channel (clean/pushed on channel 1, vintage/modern on channel 2). 6L6 only, 50 loud watts, Reverb w/ controls for each channel, effects loop, and includes the power cable and footswitch.

It is currently tubed with JJ 6L6GC power tubes, and an assortment of preamp tubes (GT 12AX7M Mullard reissue in V1, Shuguang 9th gen 12AX7 in V2, 3, and 4, and a balanced JJ ECC83S in the phase inverter spot). The amp is in excellent condition both cosmetically and functionally, I have had absolutely no issues with it.

I'm looking to sell or trade the amp because it simply doesn't have the voicing I want on the gain channel. It's a great amp for rock and metal, but I'm becoming more of a blues/jazz/fusion player.

I'm asking $775 shipped (Paypal to confirmed address if you cover fees, or USPS money order), and will also consider trades. I'm interested in heads only, preferably 50-60 watts at most. I'm mainly looking for Fender amps (Bassman, etc) but let me know what you have and we'll talk.

I have pictures of the amp HERE

Re: Mesa/Boogie Rectoverb series I (relist)

you have one of the exact setups i've been looking at....Rectoverb and 2x12 avatar cab...except i'm considering the hellatones 30/60?!

you can't get good enough blues sounds on the clean channel with an overdrive?! how are the cleans and the reverb?!

Blues tones are something the amp CAN handle rather well, but it's the jazz and fusion tones I'm wanting that it can't quite reach. The cleans and the reverb are pretty nice as well. It's not a Fender reverb, but it's not trash, and since this is technically a high gain amp the cleans are excellent. However, right now I'm only using the amp as a clean pedal platform for my dirty tones, and in that respect there are much better options out there.

Bump. This will probably hit ebay sometime next week.

I know you said you're interested in heads, but... I've got a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, 3 channels, can get lots of different tones, can be run as a head or a combo amp.
40 watts all tube.

Just checking to see if you would be interested in the HRD + $$$

Thanks for the offer bro, but I'm going to try to stick with heads here.

I would love to trade (plus some $$$ if necessary) for a Rivera, especially a Rake!
