I will rebut my post earlier. I was turned on to this guy's stuff a couple weeks ago. https://pvdhp7.wordpress.com/page/2/ His Rectifier head sounds better than LePou. He also has a Mark iii sim that is close, but it only has gain and volume controls. This may be a bummer for most, but I...

I would like to try =C= EL34's but haven't they stopped making glass?

No problem. Not sure what was done to your amp, but have fun comparing components in the amp to a schematic. I was working on a guys 5150 last week that he said was making some sort of high pitched squeal and could not play through it. It was fine at my house. After checking the usual...

I cannot believe I was such a slacker I never got around to uploading a recording. This is a scratch track I made for my drummer to lay his tracks down to. Forgive the beep as It is hard coded in the mp3 for him. https://soundcloud.com/lasanche/hell-correct We did this a few weeks back...

Are you guys adjusting the bias to get the most out of those tubes when you're using the KT's? I can't imagine using KT88's in a Triple. Those have headroom for days stock. 88's would allow you to really open up the gain/channel knobs. I would rather see how these amps run with a set of...

It may or may not be able to be brought back to stock values easily. I only say this because some companies that mod amps have a tendency to try and be mysterious and apply an opaque silicon caulk to cover up their secret mod or shoddy work. Not saying yours was treated in that manner. I...

I'll suggest the Marshall 2203 if you are looking at a Marshall and needing something to keep up with a Dual Rec in a stereo configuration. I used to run a similar set up, but found using a splitter cable into both amps worked and sounded better for what I was doing. You can adjust a 2203 to...

This was a fun weekend and I liked the Triple Rectifier. It was a 99% similar amp sonically except for the clarity and immediacy of how the amp responds to playing. The headroom was responsible for this I assume. What was bad about this particular amp was that the effects loop pots needed to...

Ill be in town from Thursday til early Sunday. Then I go home for a week or two then back for a show on the 23 or 30 not sure which. I'm playing with Blood Storm if you've heard of them. I know that Friday and Saturday I plan on having 8-10 hour sessions with them, or at least until fingers...

I flying up to Philadelphia next Thursday to rehearse with a band I'm doing live session work for towards the end of August and again later in the year. The drummer for the band has a Triple he is going to let me use. Which is righteously awesome, especially since I can use my same floor noise...

Mal, you are from NZ then, you may already have that transformer. Email Mesa and ask if that is so. I am guess you're eyeing one already in country and not placing an order from a dealer. No clue on that last amp, but can give some opinion on a triple vs dual. I have only shared a stage with...

The small driver tube.the manual refers to is your phase inverter tube which should be v5.

Is home Stateside? If so, when you order your Mesa, make sure you have Mesa install a Dual Use transformer, so if you travel outside the US you only have to take it to your tech to swap the primary wires so it can handle other countries voltage. I don't think the upgrade is too much more...

I would use two 2x12's or 2 4x12's personally and set each amp to augment the other and run them at same time. Since you are using a switching configuration, I would still use the 2-2x12's only because I am the living example of Murphy's Law. If something can go wrong it will with me. I would...

You guys made that looks fairly easy. I would have contacted Custom Audio Electronics to ask them what would be the most economical way to do that switching that would work properly every time. Tell them in the email that you have a budget of $xxx that you can put towards the set up. I'm sure...

I don't know if you posted it, but what cabinet will you be playing out of? I know that the Mesa Rectifier cabinets are a bit larger than a standard Marshall cabinet and do have a bit extended low end that needs to be worked with until you are familiar on how to tame it. The best real sound I...

Sorry man I am really not seeing the 100W Head. At times, I think I can see it, but the camera never gets close enough where the camera is steady enough to read that, then at times I also see "Solo" as Mine says. A couple of times though the letters of that side of the logo looked smaller (not...

GAH!!!! I am loving this amp now.... A Dual rec that Kerrangs if that makes sense. I really want to hear this recorded now.

@Shemham Any chance that you have one of the two channel Rectifier schematics you could email me? I am at a loss comparing the two circuits without one. I swapped the gain knobs of channels 2 & 3 today, as well as jumpered the 100ohm resistors on v1-3. I will probably swap the 1M pot for a...
