channel 4 is optimized for "modern" mode and sounds different in "vintage" mode to channel 3.

hi folks, just wanna share a tune of my band called Morbid Sky with you. the song is also called Morbid Sky, as the band is. we just moved into our new studio-rooms and after everything was setup, we did a quick live-rehearsal-one-take-no overdub-recording. on the right side you hear a Music...

that´s it! like dom said. i´ve read so often questions like yours in the first posting and every time the problem is, these amps are played at low-level....you get that phase-shift even with a marshall amp played at bedroom level....and with many other amps as well. take this beast and bring...

the same here, never felt in love with the brit mode but got those nice ac/dc crunch tone with tweed mode gain set high. since this day, my yellow channel set to fat-mode is my clean sound. orange set to vintage mode with tube-tracking for good rock sounds and red channel modern on diode for...

the roadster is still (after 7 years of using it) my main amp and i did try a lot of different amps during those years. rectifier-series amps are not famous for having a great solo-sound, and the roadster is a rectifier-series amp....but you can get a great solo tone while using an overdrive...

there is still a tiny little bleeding left after the mod, but i can only hear it with the mastervolume turned way down to bedroom level. in the normal playing situation, it doesn´t matter. i´ve done the loop mods to all of my mesa amps with parallel loops, it´s just easy to do and very effective.

LOL, they really sound different. the Rectoverb is by far the most aggressive amp of them all, the roadster is a well balanced 4 channel monster for a lot of different styles of music and the DC-5 is more of a classic rock-amp compared to the other. totally different kind of distortion, more...

and to give you another option, try the roadster with a set of EL34s in the poweramp. the sound with 6L6s is good, but for my taste the EL34s give that amp a nice mid-crunch and different voicing in low- and top-end, which i really prefer. for solos i always boost my amp with a mxr zw-44...

the roadster is a darker sounding amp compared to the dual rectos...if you want that reborn sound, you´ll have to go for a reborn. so you get both problems solved at once - smaller footswitch and the sound you want. ;) try to turn up the presence control of the amp and you´ll have to set the...

wow, that mini looks so evil! love it!

changed amps within my rigs last week and therefore i got the chance to make a "stacked" picture of the gear. DC-5, Rectoverb II, Roadster, Recto 4x12" straight/slanted

hi folks, just want to share a video from our last gig at the "Killer Metal Night" in Erlangen / Germany. we were opening that evening. this time i was using my Rectoverb 2 head for the show. Morbid Sky - Mindsucker enjoy!

afaik, the differences between RKI and RKII is: mesa improved the two clean-channels on the II and the loop-section is different - RKI had two parallel loops, RKII has two serial loops tried a RKII combo once (set to 4x6L6) in the orange and red channel and to me, this thing sounded the same as...

just do the simple fx-serial-loop-mod. it works fine on my rectoverb II, never could get a good delay / dry sound with the parallel loop as well. unscrew the chassis, turn it upside down, remove the right wire of the mix-pot and solder the left-wire to the center of the mix-pot. reinstall the...

wow, thanks for that nice feedbacks guys!
