Re: Mesa Rectoverb comments?
I thought the series 1 versions has switchable power tube options as well? It came out ofter the duals and triples and the duals and triples both have that option so it would surprise me if the series 1 rectoverb/single recs didn't.
Now if they could add their "built-in variac" option and one rectifier tube that'd be PERFECT.

:burnout: you do the math.

It should be... I have a marshall 1960AX that I'm selling with greenbacks and WOOO british tone but sometimes I'd like more mids and more bass. So I'm trying to sell the cab and buy one 2x12 with greenies and one 2x12 with G12H30s. I never was a fan of V30s though...

The series 1 Rectoverbs do NOT have a bias switch. 6L6 or nothin'
. From what I keep hearing, the series 2 Rectoverbs are a bit different than the series 1, in that they're geared to sound more like the duals and triples instead of maintaining they're own character. One reason I wanted a series 1.

Supposedly the pairing of the V30 and the G12H30 gives you a nice mix of highs and upper mids from the V30, and a smoother bass and low mid response from the G12. You get a 14-day trial period from Avatar, so if it's too bright for me I can always send it back and try a different speaker option.

Re: Mesa Rectoverb comments?
That combo always gets rave reviews... let us know how you like it upon arrival. :smoker:
I find that the Singles do not sound like the Duals or triples at all. Sure they've got that Cali-Boogie flavor but the cleans and dirties and gain voicings are way different. Thats why I went with the Rectoverb in the 1st place! LOL
If I ever find a series 1 I'll give it a go and see what i think.

I have a series 1 and love what i've heard from it, unfortunately i bought it off of ebay and the tubes went pretty quick and ive just got around to putting new ones in. They're definately worth checkin out, especialy the vintage gain channel.

Re: Mesa Rectoverb comments?
Yeah, mine should be here tomorrow. I didn't get it off ebay though, and I talked to the guy several times on the phone about the amp. He put in new Mesa power tubes about a year ago, and hasn't played the amp much since then since his band had pretty much called it quits. He's sending those new tubes and a spare pair of 6L6s, but if those are kaput or something I'll snag a pair of JJs.
