I had a chance to play one of these in person the other day. This may very well be the best-sounding amp I've ever played in my life. Absolutely perfect!

[@IPushHard]

One of the best sounding amps Ive ever heard.

[@BCTGuitarPlayer]

IPushHard: I just bought one. Hope I’ll agree with you;)

[@brandonanderson2066]

@@BCTGuitarPlayer are you in agreement?

[@mackk294]

Roland Cube is bettter

[@justinlim7557]

I have one. And it’s so versatile. The clean tone is unmatched.

[@rahulgautam297]

@@justinlim7557 Indeed.

[@tedcabana]

I have the Rectoverb 50, and after four years, I still haven't experienced all the possible tones I can get from it. But in the recording studio, it has been my most incomparable friend. Great amplifier, unattainable sounds.

[@RunawayThumbtack]

I was particularly impressed by the cleans that this amp did. Neat!

[@CaptAnderton]

I really like this little amp - I know it has a Boogie price tag & that this will be out of some peoples reach, but for those that can afford it, I think this is going to be a real contender!

[@BScalesguitar]

looks like for the price you can get an awesome sounding versatile amp though, so must be worth it cpt!

[@hondansx1000]

you know Capt...i think you're one of the best blues players i've ever come across. Can I ask a question? what are the chords you use for ur blues riff?

[@deltafit]

hondansx1000 mainly E7 and A7 I believe

[@hondansx1000]

sweet, thanks :)

[@JamesRussoMillas]

Better sounding than the last time Peter was at Anderton's with the Express Plus :)

[@pony_drums]

Such sweet tone across many genres. I've always loved Mesa

[@tobortine]

Brilliant, 18 minutes of fun muso, ampy, stuff. Keep it coming guys.

[@MrJDP1974]

love that! it almost gets a little glassy when you open it up but it never was bad, just close enough. you guys are hysterical! keep it coming and thank you!

[@jeffbriggs4268]

One of the best sounding amps I've ever played through.

[@bobkat321]

What a clean sound, one of the best definately i've heard.

[@Strat642001]

Watching these older videos, I must say KUDOS CAPTAIN!! Your playing has improved immensely. All of the hard work is paying off.

[@LordOfThisWorld74]

That is some absolutely luscious reverb.

[@JohnPArgueta]

Great video review as always guys. Your audio is spit on which makes this an awesome place to get reviews. You guys are definitely in my tour stop when I cross the pond. As for the price, yes it's higher but you can not I repeat can not doubt Mesa quality. This unit will easily last you a lifetime if you care for it. It's not meant for starving artists. It's a brand just like Mercedes or Bentley or Gibson (Les Paul). However, there are plenty of used MB you can pick up if you want to join the family. These guys don't devalue like some of the amps mentioned above. I personally like the Mark series but I can see this big a big seller. Cheers!

[@DannyPeel]

Was flicking through an old Total Guitar mag from 2008 yesterday while on the bog... and I stopped on a page, who did I find?. Chappers himself, had to smile.

[@neighbourhoodmusician]

I get the feeling that the earlier ones with the Fillmore FM-75 speaker are the real MVPs. It's like the later V30 ones but with all the super-harsh and irritating frequencies taken away. Also, Chappers, that was an interesting dreads, t-shirt, blazer combo you were wearing 8 years ago!

[@brandonanderson2066]

When did they change it? I have the head/ single 12 cab and it's harsh.

[@Bobo_Tapia]

Love when you guys have a guest. Get to hear even more of the product's range.

[@Driftuner]

you were right, i do love it!! really do..amazing amp!

[@hukl3945]

Wow - this amp sounds awesome! Great video guys! Could've watched that for hours.

[@cwd243]

I've owned this amp for a month. It's badass. Not what I expected, but sweet sounding. For all it's knobs, it's got only 2 sweet spots for blues. It's not that loud. I can jam in a bedroom on 25 with the master on three at it's not going to piss anyone off. I've only ever owned lower end fender amps before this one so I think this amp is super, super dark. I'm playing a heritage 535 with SD humbuckers. Sounds awesome, but it takes some time to dial it in, one you do, you can make the tubes break up with just the way you attack the strings. It's worth every penny of the pricetag. I don't even think the speaker in broken in yet......😀

[@Disabledguitarist1985]

Dude ... that reverb along with the amp is A+

[@gustavo13k]

If i had the money I would buy it in a heartbeat. It sounds so... I don't know how to describe it, it's just amazing. Clean/dirty/whatever you like

[@LoerdNoerd]

Asides from showing off a really killer amp, this video makes me want the ML7 so incredibly bad. One day Chappers, I'm gonna hold one of these in my hands and it will cause pure sonic WIN, ripping through the fabric of space and time itself :P

[@DannyPeel]

Peter's style is so silky. Awesome.

[@DJLEOdamadprofessor]

peter is one hell of a player

[@seanp777]

Proper playing by the Capt. - totally gonna steal that!

[@michael_caz_nyc]

Love Pete. He is such a great player. Seems like a cool, humble guy - too. Really enjoy his Demo's with Mick Taylor - they are fantastic together. Killer Amp. It's a little beast.

[@VarietyShop]

That amp sounds really good. Killer tones.

[@mikeadozenify]

Holy moly, I am in love with Mesa. This is like the 19th video I've watched on the rectoverb.. I WANT ONE!!

[@MB-yw3pv]

IF YOU NEED TO SAVE UP AND YOU HAVE A TUBE AMP ALREADY GET A ROCKTRON ZOMBIE, IT NAILS THE DUAL REC TONE WHEN USED WITH A TUBE AMP, ROCKTRON DESIGNED IT THAT WAY AND IT WORKS GREAT

[@Counterpoint]

0:25 Chappers drinks coffee and suddenly his guitar changes into a screaming banshee!! :D

[@30smsuperstrat]

I will say this amp sounds fantastic, and much more fendery clean then any dual rec I played in the 90's

[@roccotanto]

coffee time with Chappers - love it guys. some of the best gear demos on the whole damn internets.

[@bradcarroll3719]

One thing many don't understand is how much more it costs Mesa to hand build these in the US. Also, sort of like Fender and Gibson, Mesa's hold their value. Last, and most importantly they just sound fabulous, in person and at concert volumes more than in a video. Thanx for the good video.

[@flowjoe100]

What a mega sounding amp! Really considering one of these to replace my mini jubilee combo. It's a great amo but am dreaming of two proper channels and built in reverb.

[@JohnSheehan72]

Had one. Returned it. Ended up picking up a used Rect-O-Verb 50 combo for almost half the price, and it delivers above and beyond the 25 series.

[@dannyboyblue1111]

Sorry I know this is an old comment but do you still rate the 50? Can you still get good tones at Low volumes or do you need to blow out the windows 😂? Thanks, Dan

[@JohnSheehan72]

@@dannyboyblue1111 You don't have to blow out the windows - but it's not a bedroom quite practice amp by any means. Using a clean boost in the front will help a bit too saturate the tubes for decent tones at acceptable volumes. Mark V series is really good for dialing in lower volume tones - but that's quite the price premium.

[@dannyboyblue1111]

@@JohnSheehan72 thanks. Appreciate the reply.

[@UnknownHumanoid]

What's amazing about this amp, you can put the clean channel on 25W and the dirty on 10W!

[@OzziePete1]

I saw the title of the video & the product name of "Rect-O-Verb" and thought there'd be butt jokes aplenty. At 00:57 they were off & running!

Pete❤ This was the first vid I saw him in and I liked him a lot. Perfect for Andertons, fab player also.

[@zerosoma33]

These videos are the mirror opposite of “demo only, no talking”

[@oneox958]

omg Pete when he was at Mesa! Bringin a tear to my eye

[@micuronium]

The best review you guys have done was the Fender Amps comparison with the DeVille Hot Rod Deluxe III. You got right to the point and described the amps features and then sampled its tones. Less chatter allows your audience to focus on what you're selling and reviewing, but otherwise you do great reviews.

[@trintgardiner8702]

Peter is awesome. He's one of my favorite guest people.

[@EventHorizonPrdctns]

The clean channel nails all the tones that I love hearing other people play but have no desire to ever play myself. I'd say this might have the best solid rock tones you can get. Don't think it has the perfect metal tone I'd like. Think I'm still gonna go for the Blackstar Ht-Metal 60. *Fun fact of the day: Jimmy Page is the one playing guitar on the track "It's Not Unusual."

[@Deliquescentinsight]

And what a corny twangy little break it was too-biatch

[@PhilLaird]

This is my first amp and I absolutely love it. One thing I love about it is that I can play it at home without destroying my ears like my Marshall 100 watt tube amp on 2 4x12 cabs.

[@scottcourtney4883]

Looking into buying one of these, I found this video, and MAN, I did not know Pete worked for the MB distributor at the time! I love how relatively laid back and sedate Pete was back then (of course, not working for Anderton's at the time and having to present himself a bit differently) lol...

[@PaulRoseMusic]

Being one who owns a Road King II, I'll surely be looking into owning one of these babies when I go away for school.

[@sinbaadi]

Brilliant vid, never thought I'd want to spend that kind of dough on a small combo amp but now I do.

[@cyclonefan34]

Capt's playing is sounding good!!

[@kernelxsanders]

HOLY HELL. When Rabea comes in with the seven string, it sounds wonderful! no low end flub whatsoever! Or that could be due to the great guitar ;)

[@boynamedlen]

Blue man sticker on the CAP-10! Nice touch

[@SinsAscendant]

God i could listen to him play for hours.

[@Yesidoplaytheguitar]

It sounds really really Nice! Bit expensive for me though ;) cool demo guys! Peter is an awesome player ;)

[@bradcarroll3719]

@Myegul. The rect I verb is the trem o verb without tremolo feature. If your into tremolo Mesa really does a great one.

[@callumcrow7830]

The harmonics at 00:30 XD Spot on

[@TheSephix57]

Nice video guys, but try to not only use Chapman guitar, don't get me wrong, I love them, great sound and my next purchase will definitely be a chapman but, please, use other brands (ok fender at the end, but 30sec on a 18min video...)

[@DanLokar]

Great video guys, as always. Amp sounded great. One thing that I would LOVE to see from you guys is a review of the new Ernie Ball John Petrucci Majesty signature guitar, is that planned? That would be awesome.

[@JB54379]

Mesa Boogie Rectifiers are one of the best amps out there. Boutique amps at a lower pricetag. The older Trem-o-verbs IMO are the best of the bunch still today. Just amazing sounding!! Kills this weak video.

[@dod54]

great review guys, about the teacakes, they are Scottish and so good they can be bought all over the world, the whole range is awesome, caramel logs are also fab

[@lofisatellites4785]

I use this amp. Awesome tone. So versatile!!

[@TobyKBTY]

Devin Townsend said he's a fan and fun user of this little amp. Nuff said.

[@hadin101]

Peter needs to come and demo more gear with you guys his playing is so good

[@celestelongway7315]

Love the amps too . Expensive but oooh ...Metal monsters for sure!

i would love to see peter in some other demos, i love his playing style!!!

[@rubentrevino6288]

badass amp, nice work dudes

[@Itr0niX]

Hoth was filmed at Finse though.. About 2-3 hours away from Myrkdalen where Chappers were.. Where i live :P

[@hawg427]

Hey Lee, This is off topic but when is Orange going to be releasing their new 100w & 50w terrors that debuted at Namm 2 weeks ago? Also since your a Dtrat guy, how do you like Fenders new Vintage lineup 54-64 I think. Do they play pretty good?

[@jwalkrr]

you can really hear the picking dynamics and the attack very well with this amp, i might pick this one up for some work i have coming up! either this or a much cheaper jet city 20 watt head and 2x12 matching cab lol

[@kbirridia]

Odd, the combo is £765 (converted) in the States, which isn't bad at all. Perhaps the price mentioned was retail, but there's also VAT to account for.

[@wheresallthezombies]

its cool that the footswitch looks like one of their drive pedals.

[@preciseaudioblog]

So sweet!! Does it come with a channel switch pedal?

[@ntrbluesx]

What a great amp and demo guys!...just a shame you need rock a rockstar wedge to afford one. Killer tones tho!

[@brunodn9702]

Hi, buddies. Just a question. Did you ever tested ENGL Amps? I'm interested by the Gigmaster serie. Whatever. Always great (and funny) videos! Thank you!

[@RandyP9890]

I didn’t realize that danish pete was formerly with Mesa Boogie. Also, I’m considering getting a rect-o-verb 50 combo, but I’m so torn between it and all the other awesome older Mesa amps, like the DC-3/5, or the F series, even the nomad series. So many choices lol

[@JimmyRadloff]

How do these amps compare to the older 5:25 Express amps? Hard to really tell when your not in the room with the amp. I have an 11 year old 5:25 that is pretty exceptional with a well worn vintage 30. It sounds remarkable and I'd love to hear it side by side with one of these amps. Wondering how much of the tone is attributed to the speaker.

[@phildietrich878]

Hey do you think maybe you two guys can do a review on the iPad jam up bias program? Just a thought.

[@MadSpectro7]

There are few amps I have genuinely loved the tone of, and this might be the cheapest.

[@oneway6888]

great review, I just may go get one, thank you

[@tobyevans9343]

Yo chappers, I don't know if someone already has brought this up. But, when are you guys gonna make an ML-2 in a "Tobacco burst" or "heritage cherry"? Because I will be one of the first to buy one. Cheers m8

[@paulchuter8110]

I have one of these it’s awesome... 10 or 25 watts and great tone.... highly recommend....

[@alexreis4965]

Sounds remarkably similar to my Blackstar HT-5 which I was playing like 5 minutes ago. I've either gone tone deaf from playing at whisper levels or they're very close tonally.

[@MELANSON247]

Love it great tones

[@Jacen13]

The only amp I’ve ever played (besides boutique) that sounds better than this is the Rectoverb 25 head with a mini recto cab or two. Seriously, Recotcerb 25 is amazing!

[@mustafaicil]

In Europe, Rectoverb 25 is priced almost same with JVM205C. Trying to decide between the two. Any suggestions? How do they compare? I owned JVM410H but sold it. Rectoverb sounds great on this video.

[@urutoratk9098]

Sounds fucking amazing!

[@jackalfox332]

It's £1,399 because it's a Mesa Boogie, and because it's a Mesa Boogie, it's just... Blah... Give me Orange or Victory any day of the year! Have to admire the guy's passion though, where there's passion, there's love for music, there for fun, and that's all that matters. But I must admit... I like this Amp. :D Rob, Lee...

Still think Recto25 is a sick ass amp. Pretty much do all. Need more metal? Put a Screamer or Klon up front. Throw a Eventide or whatever in the loop. The ONLY bummer? No headphone Jack like the MKs.
