Like it says on the tin GuitarGuitar are knocking out a couple of brand new Rectos for £1399, which is about a £1000 off: http://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/electric_amps_detail.asp?stock=150929289696002 Have at it! Ross

I've got a few things for sale: Mesa Boogie Studio 22+, pretty good condition for its age - comes with cover - £550 ONO Mesa Boogie Formula Preamp (clean has been modded with the Andrews mod by Dennis Marshall) - comes with footswitch - £450 Mesa Boogie 20/20 Power amp - £550 Mesa Boogie Recto...

The IIC+ has a pull on all the front knobs except the middle one, as does the IIC, one says gain boost and the other pull deep (IIC Vs. IIC+ I mean) but I can't remember which way round that is and just to make things really interesting Mesa made a few hundered of the early IIC+'s with the wrong...

I'd say go for it £600 seems like a good price - I've got a red stripe and it will do a pretty good IIC+ impersonation. The standard tones for Dream Theater, Metallica etc. are in there with a little outboard tweaking, generally a parametric EQ in the loop does the trick. I *think* the blue...

Number 242 is on ebay now - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mesa-Boogie-Dual-Rectifier-THE-HOLY-GRAIL-amp-head-excellent-rev-C-pre-500-/200848345269?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2ec37e88b5

The version for all dual channel rectos is marked on the PCB, which is just as well as there is a fair amount of myth and folklore about the revisions and the numbering - there are also other give away factors for an early recto, namely serial loop, attached power cord etc. Should be minimal...

Hey Nick - Strung out Guitars in Glasgow have a Mark I combo in at the moment, think it's original not re-issue - http://www.strungoutguitars.com/ - give them a phone! Ross

Hey, Not sure how your midi setup is working at the moment but you seem to have a Ground Control Pro so I would cut the G Major out of the equation as the midi manager the GCP is way superior to the G Major. To use the GCP do the following: On each of the midi devices you want to control set a...

Hey Dudes, If you are in the UK - Dennis Marshall has a loop mod for the TA15 - check him out at: http://www.dennismarshall.co.uk/ What Dennis does not know about valve amps, mesa in particular, aint worth knowing - cool dude too ;-) Hope that helps!

Defo the best Triaxis IMHO - V2 non-fat is the best one they have done ;-)

Hey Dudes, £1250 is way too much for a DC-10, currently a really good condition DC-5 is about £500 to £600 so I would guess that a minty DC-10 would be (at most) £750 - 850 - worth remembering that a good second hand Mark IV is only about the £1000 mark, unless it's got options such as hardwood...

Hey, I've been using a voodoo labs ground control since they were digital music corp - I've now got two, one for both my different rigs - I would have to say I love them! The manual is not the best so playing around is a definite must but they are pretty intuitive once you work out how to get...

Hey All, Just a quick suggestion macbethava - check out ebay for the older (i.e. pre recto) 4x12's that boogie used to make (they can be ID'd by the wide diagonal lattice used on them). A lot of these came with celestions on top and EV's in the closed bottom and they are awesome hooked up to a...

Hey Dude, It’s also worth bearing in mind that the Marks have a much better clean channel, especially the Mark II's IMHO – it’s just not what the rectos were designed for ;-) Contrasting the Mark's to the recto's is kinda hard as they do pretty different things, but essentially the rectos have...
