The Mesa Mini Rectifier Twenty-Five!

Re: The Mesa Mini Rectifier Twenty-Five!

chokes are filters that are used to smooth out ripples in the power supply

Pardon my ignorance, but how do ripples in the power supply affect the sound? I'm honestly very interested to know!

I can only imagine that 25 watts through an efficient 1x12 or 2x12 (or 10's for that matter) in a small room, would sound just fine and keep up with a sane drummer.

More than that with the right 25 watt amp!! This is my little Zinky 25 watt Blue Velvet unmiced outdoors running a Blackstar 1/12 and the internal 12 ( Both WGS a ET 90 in the combo and a Retro 30 in the cab) and trust me I had a LOT more volume in the amp but would have had a hard time hearing the rest of the band from where I was standing if I turned up any more!

Don't discount that little Boogie as the little 20 watt Subway Rocket I have is an absolute BEAST!! These little Boogies are no joke!!

Mike Soldano explains here that a choke helps eliminate low frequency sag.
