I am looking at re-tubbing my mini recto pre amp tubes. the positions are V1-V4. I was wondering what position really effects channel 2. It looks like V2. What I am un sure of V2a vs V2b? V@a said is the third gain stage for ch 2 and 2nd gain stage for 1 and 2. What does this mean? I...

Right now I am running my Mini Recto into an Avatar 1x12. 8 Ohm in 8 Ohm. I recently acquired an Orange 1x12 that is a 16 ohm cab. I know this would be a safe miss-match, but what would be the best way to run these? Run both the speakers together into the single 4 ohm output? Plug the 8 ohm...

I am selling my Orange dual terror. Perfect shape with newer JJ tubes. This has only left my basement twice!! List if $899. I am selling for $675 shipped to US. Includes padded carrying case.

Yes I am using the loop. I will try running direct to make sure it is an amp problem. Then disable the loop. Thanks for your help. If I need to retube, what does everyone recommend??

here is a video of the issue. Hear the popping? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kduQDMs-LyQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kduQDMs-LyQ

AVATAR 1x12 v30. I too have found the Mesa 1x12 thin sounding. I think this head really shines with a closed back design. The Avatar is slightly larger than the Mesa too. Gets a good deep thump when you want it to.

Thanks. The amp is about 18 months old and the tubes are really starting to hiss and crack under high load. Same sound my Orange dual terror makes when they need replaced. I think I will just go withthe pre-amps 1st. Thanks for the feedback. From what I see the Tung Sol may be worth a...

I am in the market for some new tubes. Questions: Is it true MEsa tubes are just renamed JJs?? Anyone use any other combo in their Mini? I have heard the Tung Sol really rock. I am happy with my tones now but open to other suggestions. Thanks

My mini recto started this crackling sound. It happens in both channels and in both power settings. Kinda sounds like a bad cable but it is not. Amp is a alittle over a year old. Power tubes maybe?? Thanks

From someone who owns a mini, if there was a Dual or even a triple, perfect condition availavle used for the same price, I would not have purchased it. While it may be much more of an amp, it was not was I was looking for. The issues for me were: Size...tone (the EL84s do sound...

Try using the MXR is front of the amp and not in the loop. I have used a variety of OD pedals depending on the sound I wanted. All of them have been in front of the amp, not the loop. I have not been switching between 1 and 2. Honestly because I already spend most of my time on channel...

typical...get used it.

I saw them last night in Reading PA. I must say is the best I have seen Eddie play. Everytime he play it is like history being made. Top 5 player in my mind....

Having traded my ta15 for a mini rectro, I would say mini recto all the way. I was never an effects loop person, until I had one. I grew tired of adjusting my delay and verb based on the amount of gain dialed in on my TA-15. With the loop on the mini, I set it and forget it. I never used the...

Very nice playing. Tone reminds me to Satriani.
