I noticed on the parts list that the bass pot on Channel 3 has the part number for a 250k pot instead of a 1M pot. I'm not well, so I can't take mine apart right now, but could anyone confirm whether the one on your amp is #593148? I did some EQ matching using the Tone Stack Calculator and then...

Was looking at schematics. On my 3ch DR, the Output control has a treble bleed circuit. This is absent on the Road Series and only activated on the 2ch Orange Vintage. I have a few questions: Has anyone familiar with at least two of these amps noticed differences between the sound using the...

Some may have noticed how Modern mode barely bleeds through when the MV or Output is all the way down. Recently I found that turning the Presence up removes the bleeding, until completely gone at full up. Not yet sure why, yet, but my first guess would be leaking on the relay to switch the...

I've an idea to trace Boogie's amp designs by reviewing schematics, interviews and audiovisual sources. I will look for major things which are common and carry over from an ancestor, a competitor, convention, and innovations. If anyone has anything they'd like to know or anything they'd like...

I've been listening to Tool's Lateralus a LOT. I love the tone Adam gets and I also wanted that velcro sound (which is also similar to STP's Core). I got it with the Dual Rec on Orange Vintage with the following effects: OD/Boost (Nova System TS clone), Phase or Chorus, Noise Gate, and Boss...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BC2Ce1gobEI I came across this the other day. I'd forgotten about the Youtube channel. This was a prototype of what would have been the first model. I started having serious health problems about a week after this and became disabled about a year and a half...

https://youtu.be/lWcTqWSa5gk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MbNrU8GGFY The new album "Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité, Metallica!" has Hetfield and Hamster using nothing but Rectifiers. It looks like James is using 2 at a time and Kirk is using 4 at a time. I imagine James has Triple Recs and...

I've been experimenting with OD boost, EQ boosts around 400 Hz to 600 Hz, and other things. I use a JB pickup with modified wiring to offset the coils and to roll off some highs. I've been thinking about eventually swapping out pickups to fit the amp's voicing. I have primarily used Seymour...

Hey, I'd like to do an experiment with those of you who roll tubes in the power section or have different brands to try. I'd like to first explain the problem and solution, my initial conclusions, and then the experiment. Issue I had to swap my set of barely used Mesa tubes back into my amp...

Hey, Being in the middle of the desert is great for many things, but my guitars' necks are not one of them. I've begun looking into guitars with neck reinforcement to prevent warping from the frequent, extreme temperature and humidity changes. It takes a lot of work to keep the necks in shape...

Fluff having fun. Have you seen this? Both sound really good. In particular, though I don't boost, the boosted 3 Channel sounds awesome in the mix.

Within 6 months, I'll have a small windfall and I want to buy 1 or 2 more amps to run together with my Recto, and also by themselves. I use midi for channel switching, since I have an effects processor; so channels and options need 1/4 jacks or a 5 pin. While I want to get some amps that can...

I have an idea to try to consolidate clips of different Rectifier amps. They will be sorted by model and cabinet/speakers, along with the basic style of the performance (Classic Rock, Metal, Polka). If anyone wants to contribute, please provide a link and I'll link to your content. Since so...

I really don't want to derail this conversation. I had some thoughts, questions and ideas that come to me from time to time and this rekindled some of it. 1) Acoustic bracing. I know there's not a lot of room on the baffle, but considering the flex at loud volumes, would it be a good idea to...

I know about the Presence, Pre-500, and Bias mods. I'm looking for info on other mods to the preamp for smoothing gain. I have some of my own ideas, but if anyone has experience and media, I'll post links to your results from my blog when I get that far. My ideas: Change input stage anode...

DUUUUUUUUUUUDE!!!!

https://warpedmusician.wordpress.com/2015/07/31/alternative-modification-for-dual-rectifier-loop/#more-312 I'm ill right now, but I'm going to do this ASAP. I wondered why this wasn't already widely available as an alternative to a hard bypass of the jfets. It's easier, kills the dry path...

For gits and shiggles, I turned off the loop and had the Vintage mode of Channel 2 with the volume and gain at about 9:00 or so. It sounded so beautiful. I think I could get used to using it after I put a linear pot in my guitar for a wider control over volume, but I really like switching...

I know there are other posts out there about the Rev C - G being similar to a Soldano SLO 100 preamp. I don't want to talk about that. I'm wondering about the overall concept. Whereas Soldano was hot rodding JCM 800 designs, it seems to me that the DR was as if someone wanted a modernized...

I can't believe I hadn't thought of this before. I barely dipped the send to 11:00, lowered the amp channel volumes, and boosted the signal with my TC Electronic Nova System (make-up gain) and solved the issues with phase. With a processor muted in an active loop, the dry is the only sound...
