@mmim4 if you still dont know and to anyone else, a diode makes the rectifier (it allows voltage to only go one way) the dual rectifier uses 4 diodes (2 in series) to get rid of any negative voltage, to keep all of the positive high voltage. a tube rectifier is pretty much the same, only differnce is, the diode is made of sillicon, a tube makes use of a vacuum.

I've ever thought that Mesa is probably the only brand that really you need to know before selling an amp. Who sell a Rectifier probably doesn't know , as always, how to set it correctly. Never max the presence control an treble too, I've seen video where presence where at max and it sounds horrible. The less treble control you use the more power have bass and middle, like all Mark series. And, anyways, everything is on the manual. Read it...I would work for you ahaha I'm born in the wrong place.

@Zhorellski Wattage is about how much headroom you have - when do the tubes break up. Volume level is measured in decibels :). 25 Watt and 100 Watt are almost the same decibels, so both are freakin' loud anyways :D - to see this check the tube for a video How loud is a Mesa Dual Rectifier (100W) and How loud is a Mesa Transatlantic (25W). The 5W will just break up really soon, but are also too loud for home if you crank them up :) Besides that power section can only technically be 100, 50 and 25

I have a mesa 5: 50 plus. I realized I'm needing more high gain than the burn and crunch modes obtain. Besides completely switching my rig to a dual/triple rec, would the throttle box peddle be a good choice to push my amp. I'm looking for that Umphrey's Mcgee like heavy tone. Great demo!
@mesaboogie7 жыл бұрын
Hi Ryan - The Throttlebox tends to be the pedal that guys use into a clean channel to get Rectifier style gain from the pedal. It sounds like you probably want to blend the gain from a pedal with your Express gain sounds, at which point, we would probably recommend the Flux-Drive or probably the Flux-Five (with Graphic EQ) as the most versatile, all around pedal to add gain to existing gain channels. BONUS: The Flux Five sounds great with the clean channel too! :) Hope this helps and good luck in your search.

@mesaboogie9 жыл бұрын
HiMartin Romero - Nearly all Mesa manuals will state this when discussing the Bass control. As Gain or Master goes up, Bass should go down (because Gain and Master increases Bass response). You may think you want a high Bass setting because you want a lot of bass, BUT... There are limits to where all three can be set. Try turning the bass control down with your eyes closed (so you're not looking at where the control is when you adjust it) and listen for where you get good bass response with maximum gain/volume. Hope this helps and let us know what you find out! :D

Good question,mainlymusicman - The Roadster was the introduction of Lone Star based clean sounds in the Rectifier series and after it was released, the Road King was updated to that same circuit. In 2010, the Dual and triple Rectiufiers were updated to the Lone Star Clean circuit as well as offering Multi-Watt switching and a few other feature upgrades. That's the long answer to your question... the short answer is YES! The latest Dual and Triplke Recs have all the features of the Roadster but only 3 channels (instead of 4) and no reverb.

Hello Tomas, would be nice if MESA/Boogie KZbin channel help you, but they wan't. So I will. They get that sound from amp because the sound was recorded in MONO channel, so you need to panned and mix the clip from mono, this make a more gain. Also a 4x12 cab has more natural bass because the air inside the cab. There you have the solution.

+MESA/Boogie I'm having some issues with the sound of my rack mount Dual Rectifier. Channel 1 clean, is very dark and muddy with overly pronounced low end. When dialing in the sample setting from the manual, the clean sound is very broken up and unusable as a clean sound. Channel Two is no different in that it also sounds very dark and muddy. I have read the owner's manual over and over and am very familiar with how this amp works, but when following the manual's mantra of, "less is more" I am left wanting more clarity and precision out of my Boogie. I play country rock, classic 90's country and 80's pop in a band so I have no need for boosting the front end with overdrive like a typical metal player, but I do need my amp to be punchy, tight and lively. I wanna love it, but I'm just not getting what I was promised. Any suggestions, Mesa Boogie???
@mesaboogie7 жыл бұрын
Hi Anthony - Depending on the serial number of your rackmount Rectifier, there may not be an incredibly robust clean channel on your amp. There could also be a problem with your amp that needs troubleshooting - either tubes or possibly something else. Hard to say exactly based on your description. Early Rectifiers had a clean channel that was not the same as the clean channels of three channel Rectifiers (in this video) and the settings for the amp in this video or in 3 channel manuals would not directly apply as this amp has a different clean circuit from 2 channel amps. You could start with low gain settings around 10:00, High Master settings around 2:00 - or all the way up - and if you're using the loop, you should set the Loop Active Master around 12:00. If you find the sound bass heavy, feel free to run the bass very low - 9:00 - or off if needed. Start with Treble, Middle and Presence at 12:00 but adjust them to taste once you have the previous settings I just mentioned in place. Also, keep in mind that the higher you turn the Treble control past 12:00, the less bass you will get overall - so you may be able to turn the bass up if you run the treble higher above 12:00. It may be a matter of finding a sweet spot in the amp for the clean you want, or it may be that the clean channel in a two channel Rectifier isn't exactly for you. You might consider calling MEsa Customer Service to discuss your settings and the possibility of whether or not the amp is working correctly as troubleshooting via KZbin comments can be long winded. Hope this helps and let us know what you find out! :)

MESA/Boogie Thanks for your insight! I will be trying some troubleshooting measures soon. The manual I was referring to in my message was the two channel Recto manual found on the Mesa website support page.

Ahhhh, OK. That makes more sense. This might lead us to think that there is something wrong with the amp then and troubleshooting would be the next step. Feel free to contact Mesa Customer Service for guidance and support to try and figure out what's happening. Sounds like the amp should be sounding much better than it is. Let us know what you find out.

MESA/Boogie I know you are obligated to say to only use Mesa parts but I'll ask anyway. What tubes do you honestly recommend in the V1, V2 etc. for the best performance and tone?

MESA/Boogie UPDATE: It seems that I've found the source of my problem. I bypassed the FX loop and there was the sound in all its glory. The guy I bought the amp from (who's a buddy of mine) did tell me he had it modded to make the loop series instead of parallel so I'm thinking that restoring the loop to its original state should fix my issue. I do have a tech who I take my amps to and trust. Is it safe to have him restore the loop or should I send it in to Boogie?

The problem with this amps is that ALL the sounds are so awesome, you actually want 3-4 amps and rigs to play all the time for different sounds/setups..From Rock, to Metal, to Trash, to Blues.....

People talk about how flubby the lows are on the Rectifier series. These Multi-Watt Rectifiers sound tighter than I imagined.

Is it taboo to use a mesa boogie head on a marshall cab
@mesaboogie9 жыл бұрын
+Realistic black man - Not at all. We might suggest the tone will be better with a Mesa cab but if you have a cab and looking to get a Mesa amp, it's a great start! Thanks for the question and thanks for your interest! :D

+Realistic black man I've heard some Recto's that sounded really really good on some Greenback loaded Marshall 4x12's. I think newer Marshall cabs are garbage but some of the older JCM800 cab and older and really magical.

@6eternal6genocide6 your local guitar store can order it in for you or should be able to order it in. also make sure you have a decent cabinet to use with it.
