Black Out Your Mesa Boogie Rectifier for $6??? Maybe...

DON'T FORGET TO LIKE, SUBSCRIBE & TURN ON NOTIFICATIONS!
Here's a walkthrough on how to take that Rectifier of yours and make it look bad as F*CK! Best of all COULD only cost about $6 USD...
This cost me about $62 USD all in as I bought new black knobs, however you COULD just spray them with the same stuff you black out the faceplate with. I ended up doing about 3 passes of the PlastiDip... but it got boring to watch so I edited it out. Just FYI...
Here's a link to the knobs:

So after watching this I decided to murder my 3 Channel Recto. I used a Rustoleum rubber spray and did the treadplate and the knobs. It cost me a grand total of $11 and a bit of effort and I am beyond happy with the results🤘

[@Rectifer]

I’ve done my Roadking including knobs too. Works a great. I used the new Glossy version on the knobs. They came out great!

[@markolivares6943]

Thanks for posting this. I will for sure be doing this to my single rectifier.

[@JeremyVarao]

Heck yes! Post up here and let me know how it turns out!

[@zman0729]

Damn. I should do that to my Trip R6 & my standard slant 4x12 [which is covered in blue diamond plate]

[@JeremyVarao]

Yeah you should!

[@M4Y0_]

Looks dope. Totally an upgrade.

[@Stahlengelmusic]

Thanks a lot for this video. Now I know what I have to do next!

[@StudioAmpCaptures]

Looks awesome!

[@SonicSoundofDoom]

Man!!! Looks sooo good! I’m currently working on a trade to get a Triple Rec, if it works out I’m using this video as a resource! Definitely blacking it out! I’ll do the work before I even play it because I know it will automatically upgrade the tone 🤘🏼😂🤘🏼

[@JeremyVarao]

Just FYI - I’ve had a few people that have done this and used the Plastidip on their knobs. Looks good. They’ll report back hopefully on whether or not it hold up. I’ll do it on my spare knobs as well and make a vid.

[@Skoora]

If only there was a way to spray a chrome looking finish on the front and back. That’s the real money look.

[@DJ33]

Good stuff, taking matters into your own hands!!

[@JeremyVarao]

Yeah man! Even I couldn’t screw this up!

[@DJ33]

@@JeremyVarao right on bud. Came out great.

[@Henke.stenback]

Great video :) did you use glossy or matte black?

[@markc7063]

Did you use Matt of glossy plastic dip finish?

[@JeremyVarao]

I used the matte

[@barrylafratta5720]

i'm doing it

[@guitarguts666]

Can you not just remove the diamond plate off the chassis? I think I might try this with spraying it Red, more blood evil

[@JeremyVarao]

You can but you need a good heat gun and scraper, and a good bit of desire. Most people I know that have tried the heat gun method said it was a pain in the butt.

[@bossistheboss6996]

I have painted one of my 3 channel, it was with normal paint but I like the plastidip stuff, im going to do my other 3 and 2 channel heads. You mentioned its easily reversable? Can you explain how please? Great video, I need the black knobs 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@JeremyVarao]

Yeah you can pretty much peel it off with not too much effort if you decide you don’t like it.

[@jconner3891]

Now I want a Mesa.

[@JeremyVarao]

Everyone needs one in the stable!

[@jconner3891]

@@JeremyVarao that’s what I’m thinking. I’m also looking at the badlander.

[@JeremyVarao]

@@jconner3891 oddly I can’t seem to get into any of what I’ve heard from the Badlander. Looks cool but it isn’t grabbing me based on the vids I’ve seen. Would love to try one for myself.

[@selmics]

Damn! Good job, now I want to do mine! Can't the treadplate be removed from the head shell without removing the chassis?

[@JeremyVarao]

It's WAY easier to do this. I know a few guys that have removed the tread-late, but apparently the glue Mesa uses could lift an elephant off the ground! More trouble than it's worth.

[@selmics]

@@JeremyVarao thanks for the tip. If I do mine I plan to Plastidip the knobs, hope it goes well

[@JeremyVarao]

@@selmics Awesome! Please report back here if it works well on the knobs. You should easily be able to use an Exacto to clean out the screw hole and the bronze indicator on the knob too. Good luck!

[@selmics]

@@JeremyVarao bronze indicator?

[@JeremyVarao]

@@selmics yeah there’s a little round bronze circle on the knobs that are the “pointer”

[@rex3live7770]

Did you say plastidick? 😆 nice vid bro

[@JeremyVarao]

I did indeed! Lol!

[@dongreenlee675]

Why didn't you dip the chrome back panel part ? Seems like a no brainer to me!

[@JeremyVarao]

That doesn’t bother me. I never see it.

[@nickharper8145]

So once the appropriate screws are out then grab the transformers to pull out the chasis? Just double checking. I have done mods on a Jet City amp before but every amp is different.

[@DirtyMikeTM]

Why would you not black out the aluminum piece in the back?

[@JeremyVarao]

Eh, it doesn’t bother me…

[@dramius]

That looks TOUGH!! 🤘 👍 What If I have a black one that I want chrome...? 🤣

[@teampain1]

is the band playing - In Flames???

[@Krypt666Norway]

Just saw this. Also bought a can of PlastiDip to «fix» my recto. It’s a chrome rev f with WRONG headshell… what sick fuck does a swap like that? Anyway. Got a small logo to make it look even more old school. Nice vid 👌🏻

[@danieln2967]

How did it go with the knobs? Is it doable? Im gettin a can of Plastidip for painting my Dual Rec faceplate and it would be nice painting the knobs too. Thanks!.

[@JeremyVarao]

3 or 4 folks have messaged me saying they sprayed them and worked just fine!

[@richardschuyler2446]

I want to do the top vent also. Do you think the heat from the tubes would affect anything

[@QuentinLatour]

If you take apart the top vent, you can flip it and it will be matte black. Hope it helps.

[@SonicSoundofDoom]

Plastidic 😂😂😂
