I've recently purchased a Studio preamp once again, and (as with all the cascading channel Mesa amps) I expect trouble balancing the volume and gain of the two channels. I've seen various Mark and Studio series amps (including preamps) with an extra lead channel pot to fix this issue. Are...

Sounds good! Crunchy.

I don't think you have to worry about the internal battery dying on modern rack multifx. Also, the Rocktron Xpression is built like a tank and will likely outlast your tube gear. Something to consider.

The best order to run your signal chain would be pedals first, then: Quad pre Boss CE-300 Boss RBF-10 Boss RPH-10 Boss DE-200 Lexicon LXP-1 Peavey 50/50 power amp As far as upgrading your gear, I would personally recommend that you sell all your rackmount effects and upgrade to either a...

Thanks for the tip. Any chance they had suitable plastic washers like Mesa uses?

I prefer to use an EQ in the loop of my Rectifier whenever I get a chance, either from a Rocktron Xpression or TC 1128. I feel external EQ between the preamp and power amp can make a world of a difference when it comes to tightening up the low end and adding a little bit of high-mid cut. It...

I've noticed that one of the four screws that hold the chassis inside the headshell of my older Dual Rectifier is missing. Does anyone know where it would be possible to find a replacement?

That listing is ridiculous. I would, however, pay that much for Zappa's talent 8) On the topic of inflated collector's pieces, here's the 2nd Marshall amp ever built: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220604793162

Fair enough. I thought you were using it with the Triaxis for whatever reason.

Glad to see you ditched the BBE... :lol:

I'll second the recommendation of a GCX swicher/ground control pro setup. I've got one and it's really great for switching anything and everything in and out of your signal chain, including MIDI presets. It allows footswitchable access to about a hundred preset effects/preamp/MIDI...

It's been a while since I owned the Recto pre, but if memory serves correctly the tone--and more importantly, signal level--change significantly enough to require redialing for a real nice tone. This will happen any time gain stages are being added to a clean channel, as with your studio preamp...

Why are you planning to run the G-major before the EQ? It makes more sense to EQ a dry signal and have effects last in the chain. In this case you can run one of the Recto pre outs into the mono EQ, then even run mono from EQ to G-major (which can split your signal into stereo).

Looking to see if anyone is interested in a nice Anvil-style roadcase for the old 4x12 metal grill/halfback cabs. Includes heavy duty casters. This is a lift-off style case in good condition. I don't think any manufacturers offer cases for these discontinued cabs, so hopefully someone is...

I understand there are some pretty big tonal differences going on in Ch 1 between the A and B series, so what are the cosmetic differences to tell the two apart? I've seen models with and without LEDs by the inputs. It looks like those metal chassis screw brackets on top of the headshell...

Up for sale is an excellent condition 3-channel Dual Rectifier with original footswitch. It sounds great and everything works perfectly, all good tubes and no scratchy pots. It's only a few years old. Looking for $1100 + shipping, located in Arizona. References: I've had good deals with a few...

I actually might be! What's the condition? Pics?

Picture bump.

Up for sale is a very good condition Mesa Engineering 2x12 3/4 Back cab with two C90s. Only wear is minor scuffs on tolex, speakers are perfect. Still has original manufacuring hangtag. Looking for $400 plus shipping, located in Phoenix AZ. No trades please...

Very cool post. I was thrilled when I bought my first Dual Recto (3 channel), but now I'm happily riffing away on a Revision F. :twisted: Also...I'd tend to agree than changing cabs or speakers should have a much bigger tonal impact than the 2-channel vs. 3-channel difference, FWIW.
