Hi guys! A couple of days ago I took a '95 Tremoverb combo in very good conditions. It came with Electro Harmonix tubes (6L6 power tubes) ad it sounds very good. But there are a couple of things that aren't clear to me. I'm a.3ch Triple Recto user from 2005, so I did quick A/B test between the...

Hi guys! I have a 2000 3ch Triple Rectifier and I still have the stock Mesa preamp tubes in it (power amp tubes are JJ EL34). I've used it always in diode rectifier mode and I've bought it used, with almost new tubes. I want to change the preamp tubes essentially because the head have a sort...

Hi guys! It's a couple of weeks that my Triple Recto sometimes has this ground hum coming out from the speaker. The guitar doesn't sound at all or sound like a broken jack when the hum comes out. It happens always when I was on the clean channel. Switching from a channel to another one seems...

Hi guys, It's a couple of days that my Recto is having this issue: after 10-15 minutes of playing, the amp starts to sound like there are some interferences, but not that loud, so I can still play. After a while, sound and channel light turns off for a second, like turning off the amp, then...

Hi guys, I've bought in 2001 a used Triple Recto that already had the fx loop mod, so I've basically always used my head with series loop. My head has fx loop button on the footswitch that doesn't work (and I know that this issue is because of the series mod) AND also the master volume and...

Hi guys, today I was playing with my Triple Recto. I turned it on to change add the pedalboard to the wall socket and then turned the amp on again. It started to show only the red power light but no channel light (usually it turned on withe the orange light). The issue is not about the...

Hi guys! After 4 years of intense playing, I think it's time to change the preamp tubes on my Triple Recto. I'd like to have a more clean green channel, trying to limit the too fizzy sound on 3th channel in Modern mode. Is there any preamp tubes configuration that can me obtain these things...

Hi guys! In 2007 I've bought a used Triple Rectifier. The dealer told me it has the "loop modified". I supposed it had the common parallel-to-serial mod. I starting using it and I loved its sound, but I really can't believe its loop makes the amp sound so bad. I mean: when I use the loop, the...

Hi guys! I have a 2006 Triple Recto. I use it thru a Mesa 2x12 and I have a large pedalboard that is connected to input (for od, fuzz, wah) and send\return, too (modulation effects). The loop is MODDED. I had several problems to get my sound in these ages, and I've always thinked that probably...

Hi guys, my question is: how would you set you Recto using the loop? I still haven't found if it's better to have the channels volume UP and the master DOWN or viceversa. Thanks in advance for the reply.

I'd like to try EL-34 in my Triple, because many guys told me that it can helps to open the hi-mid on this head, and reduce a bit the low end. By the way, this born as a try, so what bran could I try, without spend too much buying the Mesa ones?

Hi guys...in the last live I did, I had a really bad trip about my Triple...sometimes I can't turn it up when I play in small venues, so I can't hear the right sound from that head...and I feel that It can't give me the sound that I want, plus I have problems to be heard in the mix (I use it...

Hi guys! I'd like to "clone" a 2x12 Recto cab, because the original is, for me, too expensive!!! I need internal sizes (the distance between the panels, the exact collocation, and its dimensions, of the lateral handles and, if possible, the distance between the speakers), so I'd like to know if...

Hi guys, I'm building by myself a "Recto cab replica", I've got 4 Vintage 30 and I'd like to know how to connect them (series or parallel?). Furthermore I'd like to know if Recto cabs have any mono\stereo switches on the back pannel to use the 4 speakers in stereo configuration. Thanks in...

Hi guys. I have a 1960a Marshall 4x12 cab, that has 4 Celestion G12T-75 (16 ohm). Now the Marshall cab has these options: - mono (4 or 16 ohm); - stereo (8 ohm left or 8 ohm right). I'm going to change the speakers with 4 Celestion Vintage 30 (8 ohm), to use it with my Triple Rectifier. Can...

I've noticed that seems to be a lot of confusion about using Triple Rectifier pulling out tubes. On some posts I've found that it couldn't be done, but according to this post: http://forum.grailtone.com/viewtopic.php?t=6998&highlight=triple+rectifier+half+power , it seems to work. So please can...

Hi guys, I'd like to ask you something about to divide a 4x12 16 ohm cabinet (a Marshall in this case) into two 2x12 8 ohm. Everyone, Mesa engineers included, says that Mesa amps sound better with 8 ohm cabinets. Now do you think could possible to use the two 8 ohm inputs of a 4x12 (set in...

Hi guys! I have a Triple Rectifier run thru a Marshall 4x12 1960a and I have to start record our first album (we're an Italian band, www.myspace.com/sulaventrebianco) and I'd like to know how to record a big guitar sound for the album. I like the sound of my Mesa live, but when I put an SM57 on...

Hi all!I'd like to know what's the best external cabinet for my Mark IV Combo (2x12 or 412)to play heavy rock. Yesterday i tried my amp with an hand-made 2x12 loaded with 2 Celestion V30 and it sounded really good, expecially on distorsions. Until I played it on this cabinet, i couldn't find a...
