I have gotten good tones out of all three power sections. Certainly the 10 watt is it's own thing and can be very cool. But for most gig-volume levels, most people would use 45 or 90. I find 45 and 90 significantly different. I find 45 much warmer and have decided that I almost always think...

I know this has been mentioned before, but I'm wondering if there is a consensus, or an "official" answer. Is it OK to mix power modes on the 3 channels? Some say it's OK to mix 45 and 90, but not 10 watt modes. I'm just wondering of all are safe, or if there are some modes you shouldn't...

After almost selling my Mini Rec 25 to fund bigger amps (my Mark V) I have been just absolutely loving it lately. So much, that I'm considering a big Recto. I've read a lot about them here and all the revisions and changes over the years can be a bit much when looking for used ones... most of...

I recently got a Mark V and have a question about switching between full power and variac modes. My gut says that if I am in one mode and want to try the other, since "off" is in the middle, that's my clue that I should do a full normal shut down procedure. Go to standby, wait 30 seconds or...

I need a smaller combo. After looking and reading for the last year, I've decided that the good 5 watters cost nearly as much as as bigger, more capable amps. So, I'm interested in the Rectoverb 25, and the Express 5:25 plus. I have a Mini Rec, so I know what to expect from the Rectoverb 25. Who...

For sale is my Mesa Mini Rec head. Original owner, like new condition. I have the original box and all tags, bag, footswitch, cable, etc. PRICE DROP! $700 shipped in US.

I know this has been done before, but I'm pretty much ready to order. I want a new 2x12 for my V25, and since it appears to be a dangerous gateway drug, for the very strong possibility that I'll get a big V sometime soon. My dealer has the horizontal in stock, and of course would rather sell...

Thread title says it all. I would but I don't have enough cash in paypal right now. Heck it's even RED! $725 with free shipping. Someone here needs this! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mesa-Boogie-Electra-Dyne-/191598005095?ssPageName=ADME:B:WNARL:US:1123

I'm seriously hoping that there is soon to be a V2 series of the Trans Atlantic. I LOVE my TA 15. I was initially going to sell it in preparation for a new version, but I love the amp so much that I'm not taking a chance, and won't sell it until a new version is announced. Mean time, here is...

Anyone trying to get Mark I or II tones out of the V25? I was going for what I considered an early Mark tone, wanting clean-ish, but sustaining, singing kind of thing you heard from older Marks. I think I've come up with something pretty good. V25 in Fat mode, treble 1:00, Mids 2:00 (the...

I did. I have an Emi Private Jack. For some reason I'd never gotten around to trying it, since everyone knows Recto amps are supposed to be used with V30s! :D I plugged the Mini into a 1x12 Avatar/Private Jack last week. Some of the best sounds I've ever heard out of the Mini! I'm a big...

Any of you using the 5 band Mesa EQ pedal with your Mini Rec? If so, how are you liking it? Basically, I really like my Mini Rec, but after getting the V25 I just don't know how much I'll use it. I like the cleans and crunch much better on the V25 and I like the gain stuff better as well...

i went to pick it up last night, and got home tonight and had a chance to try it out. I only had about an hour. I spent all that time with my incredible PRS NF3. I'm going to say now, I know how the honeymoon stage can be with gear, and I know how first impressions can be with new gear...

FS: Very good condition, includes footswitch and cable. Only about 6 months old. I have both TA30 and TA15. While the 30 DOES sound bigger and better on every channel, I've decided to keep the 15 and sell the 30. This is a touch decision, but I want a V25 badly and selling the TA30 will...

So now that you guys have had these for a while, I'm wondering how they will do for covering Hendrix and Trower. I realize I may need an OD for Trower and that's cool, but am more concerned with Hendrix. I have Fulltone 69 and 70 fuzz pedals. My Mini Rec doesn't like them very well, or at...

I'm putting this here because my next amp will be a MV25 or an MV. I want to get a 2x12 Recto cab to go with it. I would also use it with my Mini Rec and Trans Atlantic's. I wonder how they compare sound-wise. I've read comments about the horizontal version needing to be off the floor. The...

I'm interested in a Mark V, but while I wait/save, thought I might sample some other flavors along the way. Just wondering if here or elsewhere, there is a guide that shows the differences in the various Mark models. I realize that people who have been here forever and have owned 15 different...

Yes, I can already hear you saying to yourselves, "But DTR, don't you have both? Why are you asking us this question?" (You didn't know I could hear you thinking that, did you? LOL) But, my TA30 is down for repair. I'm just wondering who has compared both and your thoughts on how they...

Yes, I went from never owning a Mesa amp to falling in love with my Mini Rec and my TA15. So much so, that when I saw the utterly STUPID price at GC's clearance site on a new TA30, I had to buy it. It should be here within a day or two. Now I have the loop I wanted and a couple other killer...

Looking into the Mark V for purchase in the near future. I've had heads and combos before so I'm aware of the advantages/disadvantages of each. Just looking for some feedback on preferences here, and reasons for those preferences. Combo gets me a Black Shadow, which should be more neutral for...
