What's the difference between the Single Rectifier and the Rect-o-Verb?

Besides the obvious reverb, is there any difference between a Single Rectifier and a Rect-o-verb voice-wise?

I'd be curious to find out about this too, as I was looking at both amps but wanted the reverb :).

The Rectoverb has better cleans.

Sweet :). Glad to hear that.

rectoverb has a reverb and a 3 button footswitch. also comes in a 1X12 combo and head while the single recto comes as a head only.

I've heard the Rectoverb has a sweeter, warmer tone compared to the other Rectos. I haven't spent enough time with the others but I am really loving my Rectoverb combo, especially with EL34's :32: Soon to add a 412 with Eminence Governors and Private Jacks in an X... sweet.

I can confirm the better cleans. Why, I do not know but I do know the Rectoverb was just better and had more depth.

It's amazing how time slows down when we are waiting for good things...

Yep, I have to enjoy it tomorrow while I can, I'm leaving for Colorado on Wednesday, and won't be back until Sunday. In the meantime my Avatar cab and couple pedals will be getting in as well :(

Look at the bright side... when you get back you'll have EVERYTHING all at once.

True, but while I'm gone I'll be thinking of it sitting at home, alone and scared haha.
 
Re: What's the difference between the Single Rectifier and the Rect-o-Verb?

ahhh... Rect-O-Verbs..... What great sounding amps... :32:
 
Re: What's the difference between the Single Rectifier and the Rect-o-Verb?

Its true... I've spent a lot of time with both amps (my best friend owns a Single Rec) and the rectoverb DOES seem to have sweeter, juicier cleans and the distortion seems to have a but more of a sweeter, more classic vibe as well. It can rage with the best of them but it's still got a really nice vibe to it when you plug EL34's into it. The cleans are better though, that is true.

Actually I chose the rectoverb on the grounds that it sounded the sweetest and warmest out of all the rec series amps. I didn't want something TOO vintage like a Maverick (although that amp feels and sounds AWESOME :32: ) but the Duals and Triples seemed too hard for me. This is just right.
