Hi, I am after a thick lush chorus, true bypass, only for few songs in my cover band. I previously had a Boss Ce-5 but sold it because of tone degradation with my Mark V. So the true bypass option of the CC-1 is kind of tempting. But a 40$, is it credible? I mean, I am not expecting something...

Hi guys, need your input on something. Yesterday, while practicing with the band, I realized how much tone I was losing with my FX Loop engaged. Toggling it on/off with the MV's footswitch make me realize how serious it was, all members of the band realizing it too. Here is the chain: FX...

Hi, I am now a proud owner of a MKV head. Before that I had a Rectifier Solo 50 so improve my leads and thighten the sound I have been using a TS9 Keeley mod and a Barber tone press in front of it, with great succes. But now that I have the MKV, I really don't see any use for these two pedals...

Hi, I know that changing channels with different Wattage can produce pops, which normal and documented. But the manual is not clear about pops when all 3 channels are in 10 Watts mode. Anybody else have experienced it? Channels 1 and 2 on Tubes, Channel 3 Triode. Thanks

Hi, when we click on the Mesa Boogie Engineering Products shortcut, we see all sections listed. But under the Modern Era Amps (1991-Present) , there is no shortcut in the Subforums for the Mark V section. The Mark V deserve his shortcut! :lol: Thanks

Montreal, Canada... I will play with it tonight and try to write a quick review... Yahooooooo!

I will sound probably stupid but I am trying to figure out if the level of noise of my solo 50 is normal or not. I have changed all the tubes and the level of noise is still the same. Here are my settings for Red channel Modern mode: Output: 10h00 Master: 9:00 Presence: 10h00 Bass: 9:00 Mid...

Hi guys, need some advise. I recently realized that I have an abnormal amount of buzz (kind of hum noise) when I raise the volume. What could it be? Failed preamp or power amp tube? I tried 2 guitars to be sure and same thing... Or should I try a ground lift? Any thoughts welcomed Regards

Hi, I currently have an RME9632, which is the A/D converter I will use but I also need to buy a mic/guitar preamp. Now I am looking to these two: -M-Audio DMP3 -FRMAudio RNP8380. Any experience with these two? Is the RNP8380 worth the 300$ more? Regards

Hi, I am looking for a delay pedal with these characteristics: -Need to have preset memory -Transparency when on, True Bypass when off -Can be powered by a BBE Supacharger (9V-16V, max 200mA) -Looper would a "nice to have" I was looking for the following but they all have something I dislike...

For those who might be interested, Italmelodie has one in stock. They received their combos yesterday. The salesman said mid june for the heads... I tested the combo since I have a deposit on a head and I wanted to validate by myself what people are saying about the amp not being able to do...

Hi Guys, I currently own a Single Rectifier Head. It is a fantastic amp, no questions there but I realise that it may just not suit my needs properly. I am in a cover band (from the Beatles to Ozzy) so I need more versatility... The things I would need to improve are: -Lead tone -Clean channel...

Hi, I just spoke with the salesman of my local music store in Montreal. He confirmed me the canadian price, which is 2599$ + tax (2938$). He also told me that they have ordered 3 and they should receive them either mid march or mid april (most probable). He said that Mesa usually ships in the...

Hi, I currently have a Single Recto and I am considering the Mark V to improve my lead tone, based on the reputation of the MarkIV. The kind of tone I am after is the Dream Theater/Petrucci tone. I know John used Mark IIC+ and Mark IV a lot in almost all of his studio album and even on tour...

Hi, I finally got a used G-Major for a good price. I use it with my Single Rectifier, with the loop modded to serial. The effects sound good so far, but I definitely have tone coloration on the red channel. I am testing many settings in Bypass mode but even if I come close to the original amp...

Hi guys, I am pretty noob in the recording world so I would need advice from more experienced people. My PC DAW is loaded with Cubase 4 and an RME9632 as audio interface, which as pretty decent A/D conveters. On the other side, I have my Single Recto and cab with an oppotunity to get SM57 for...

Hi, I am considering the GSP1101 as MFX and virtual pedal board (4CM) to be used with my single recto. But I am reading scary things about GSP1101 adding noise with rectifiers amps, specially when using the 4CM. Anybody can confirm that? Is it that noisy when using the 4CM? Thanks

Hi, I had a jam session last night with my new single recto. Since it was my first gig with the amp at high volume, I was more in a discovery mode. Unfortunatly, I have the impression that I was very far from the Rectifier Sweet spot sound. Probably because the lamps where not cranked enough...

Hi, I am planning to buy a G-Major to complete the tone palette of my Single Recto. The G-Major seems to me the best bang for the buck but here are few concerns I have. Noise Gate and Compressors should normally be placed in front of the Preamp for best results. But obviously, with a G-Major in...

Since the Thiele C90 is a closed back cab... The only difference with the 1x12 Rectifier cab is the speaker right? So would the Thiele C90 still be a good match for a Single Recto 50W? Or the 1x12 Recto Cab is really a better match for a Single Recto? Any thoughts/experience? Thanks!
