OK - I officially have a total silence - a almost scary quiet amp now. I found out the problem with the board. I don't know why - but I have a fix in place that works. So I was powering all my stomp boxes through the power of the SKB board, as follows. BEFORE preamp - digitech whammy to a...

Well I think I tracked down the issue - It seems that the SKB is the culprit in this. The patch bay that it has is the cause of the issue I am having. So I have stopped using the patch bay of the Pedalboard and simply using it as a powerstrip. I then plug my cables directly into the pedals...

My setup is as follows - I have the SKB pedalboard as the main plug i use for my setup and plug that into the wall. I then use a extension cord and connect the duel rec plug of the amp into the wall wart connections directly on the board itself. I then have two other wall wart effects that I...

Dom and Elvis - Thanks for the insight - I am happy to report that it is NOT my AMP! I took a chord and plugged the send to the return and viola - quite as all. I started missing with my cables and placed a battery in my RV3 and quite as well. So now I need to investigate the board. I...

Thanks - but I am not sure what this means or how to do it. In the simplest test that I have done - I take a 6ft cable out the send from the back of my Duel Rec to a Boss RV-3 input. I take the RV-3 output and run it back to the amp's return. I get NOISE! Removing the cables I get all quite...

Hey All - Gotta strange problem - My Duel Rec - is noisy as all when I use the effects loop. I thought if I changed out 12ax7 Tube in spot V4 that this would make the problem go away - but it did not do anything. On the clean channel - it is silent as all. Its only when I move to channels 2...

I must say I been playing Recs for a good long time now. I recorded our EP with it at a local studio here in Galveston and yes it was cranked. Its the only way to get it to sound sweet. Trying to home record with it, though, is none too easy. I agree with the posts above that say you really...

thanks for the response... I will do that... I have not taken anything apart on it. I will check for any leaks. If there is a leak, what would be suggested. Is this an easy fix that I can do myself or is this something that I should have handled by a amp shop? FM3

Brothers, I have had a rectifier traditional 4x12 cab since 2004. I also have a rectifier 2x12 cab that has less use on it as my 4x12 is my goto badboy. Seems the 4x12 is sounding a bit jello like these days and I have this weird problem that when I fret the 5th fret on my guitar that...

I too play death metal / metal / thrash through my rec... I second the move of the Delay to the effects loop. Sorry bro, but the delay will kill your sound and come off like total **** in front of the beast. Place in the effects loop for sweet solos. Just my 2 cents... TexasFM3

Bro, What you have are simply two DIN5 Midi cables... These are generic cables that can be bought from any computer, music, or online store and not specific to MESA. The DIN5 is a universal connection that allows music instruments to be interfaced... thus the MIDI acronym MUSICAL INSTRUMENT...

For Volume boost I use the solo channel on the head itself... For more gain for soloing I use a BOSS Super Overdrive. Yea I know pretty simplistic, but **** the gain you get is phe-nom TexasFM3

TWO thumbs up for Craigslist... I find a lot of my gear this way now a days... I did however pay 2500 for my Mesa 1/2 stack new back in 2003. Sweetwater is finally dealing Mesa gear too so you can see what an online retailer has the prices for new equipment. FM3

I have both... a 2x12 rec cab and a 4 x 12 rec cab... Both can push some weight... both sound really good... the 2x12 is easier to carry to gigs. Trust me... Plus the sound man is only mic'ing one speaker usually. I however like taking my 4x12 because it just looks tuff on stage, but that is...

Bro, I gotta go with the "Dark" you are hearing is the distinction made between Fender and Gibson guitars. I have always played Gibson guitars whether they are Epi guitars (LP Custom, DOT) Gibson (LP Standard, SG Special). These guitars are naturally muddy guitars, well except for the DOT...

So I wanted to share my MESA experience and it might sound silly, but I had never used my Dual Rec for anything other than metal. In doing this I knew my metal was brutal and nothing could touch it... but when I would play clean it always sounded a bit stale. I racked it up to the fact that...

Thanks for the reply... I will definitely move to new power tubes first and keep these as a spare... As for the Hearing Loss... WHAT? hahahah FM3

Hey All, It is going on 4 years since I bought my dual rec. I have noticed that the sound from my dual rec... though still heavy... is not as Heavy Metal as it once was... I am wondering if changing the 6l6 tubes to new tubes would give me back that new car shine? I see nothing wrong with...

Elpelotero, Thanks for the insight... so you simply disabled the virtual Amp and Mic portion of the pod and simply run only the effects portion? My big concern was the fact that I heard that the efx loop would not work with the POD. Seems like that is not a problem to worry about as you seem...

Question for all yall shred heads out there! Has anyone tried to use the Line6 POD as a Effects processor with a Mesa Dual Rec! I use a Line 6 combo 2x12 as my practice amp at the casa and like the reverb and overdrive I get out of it. In the jam room I keep my Dual Rec half stack. My Mesa...
