Welcome to the forum. What’s your budget? Looking for new or used? The new Multi-watt Rectos are great. You can’t go wrong with a good old original 3-channel, Dual or Triple Recto either. OK cleans and great Recto drive. Just about everything recorded with a Recto in the early 2000’s was a...

With the Roadster the reverb tank has to come out to make room for the Mr. Scary, that will go much easier with the chassis pulled out. Dom

Digital has its place, but in over 20 years of gigging I could count the number of live modeler rigs I’ve seen on stage on one hand. Granted, that was ‘99-‘19, and the technology really has come a long way in the last 5 years or so. I’m not a digital hater, I love my Iridium, either by...

100%. It’s all about moving air as that is what is carrying the sound waves. More speakers will also move more air due to the increased surface area pushing out sound waves. As you turn up the volume the speakers extend further from the neutral position creating more air displacement. A tech...

Thanks for feeding my G.A.S. LOL. I just ordered the Mr. Scary Mod to try in my Roadster, David at Legendary Tones said the reverb tank has to come out to make room for it. I don’t use the onboard reverb anyway, and once the chassis is out it’s easy-peasy to pull the tank. I’ll start a new...

This is the beauty of the civilized human being, to be able to adapt and learn. I’ve learned most of what I know about electronics on my own, especially tube amps, over the past 20-something years. A dozen fuses and a few sets of power tubes later and here I am today, able to follow signal flow...

Finally finished the power and control interface. I use the PowerCon system for mains power for its positive connection and locking connectors. Dom

First thing to check is preamp tubes. Per your owners manual there is a tube task chart on page 62 listing the preamp tube locations and their function. There are 3 tubes that are unique to ch 3, V4, V5 & V6. Start with those positions, swapping in a known good 12AX7 one at a time until you...

Welcome to the forum. If there is a mix control on the FX Loop it is a parallel loop and this will not work. Even when the mix is at its maximum there is a parallel signal path that is not affected by the FX Loop. Why not just use the output control? It is a volume control on the FX Return...

I ran an RFT 12AX7 in V2 for about a year in mine with no issues. Dom

eBay has plenty. Here is your basic Rev G 3-channel (not a multi-watt). https://www.ebay.com/itm/155311903064?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=5HrU1LIDTYi&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=rC-_sSYkTpC&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Welcome to the forum. How I remember it is that Randall Smith needed a proper company name for when he was buying car restoration parts as well as electronics, and Mesa Engineering was born. I heard that Carlos Santa story from Randall Smith himself on a video interview I remember seeing...
