    Rect-o-verb 50 Series 1 footswitch issue

    All sorted - definitely a different footswitch from series 1 to series 2. With that all set, I gotta say, Rect-O-Verb 50's were totally underrated. I loved my Mark V, and my JP-2C - but where the former was a tweakers delight, and the later had some really cool modern features - I just love...

    Rect-o-verb 50 Series 1 footswitch issue

    Actually - I may have found the issue - seems they gave me a series 2 footswitch. The channel selector says "channel" on the series 2 footswitch, and "rhythm" on the series 1 footswitch. Mine says channel, so I'm thinking there is an internal difference between the two series? This shop...

    Rect-o-verb 50 Series 1 footswitch issue

    Hello all - I am just getting back into real tube amps after a few years in the modelling world (line 6 helix) - I've previously owned a Mark V, JP-2C and a mini rectifier. I sold most of my gear, and just wanted a nice simple tube amp - preferably a Mesa, but had to have something that...

    JP-2C Brutal!!! Totally Brutal!!!

    I was using my JP-2C with a vertical 2X12 - and it sounds great - but I've recently been pairing it with a Mesa 1X12 Widebody and man, it is brutal. I always thought you needed a 4X12 for that "thump" - but the 1X12 is putting out way more than I thought it could. I'm wondering if its...

    NAD - Mini Rectifier

    I'm really really liking this amp. Still haven't been able to try it with the band - which is going to tell me how useful it is in the whole picture, but I'm getting some really great sounds with it and the 1x12 widebody. To my surprise, it is able to achieve some great tone at bedroom volumes...

    Thinking about downscaling

    I actually had 2 JP-2C's for a short time. Was selling a guitar and someone traded me a JP-2C purple bronco straight up for the guitar. Ended up selling the original JP-2C I had for a little more then I was asking for the guitar. I'm actually real happy with this mini rectifier so far. It...

    Thinking about downscaling

    I know a second amp is an expensive pickup - but I do need a backup anyway. I've had amps go right before a gig - so this gives me a little insurance.

    NAD - Mini Rectifier

    Just got the mini rectifier. Plugged it in and was a little worried at first. Seemed to get real muddy and hissy cranked up - master above 2:30 sounded real disappointing to me on the high gain channel. Finally hooked up my Helix to it 4CM and it's a different beast altogether just...

    Thinking about downscaling

    It's compact, but not exactly light at 40lbs. Mini Rectifier is 12lbs. Not that I can't carry around a 40lb head, but considering my rehearsal spot is about 1/8th a mile from the parking lot, then down 2 flights of stairs, I'd rather deal with 12lbs. I do have a closed back 1X12 with a C90...

    Mini Rectifier on order

    Looking forward to plugging it in tomorrow. I don't think it will supplant the JP-2C - but I definitely would be interested using it for some gigs and for rehearsal. Mesa's are very versatile I'm finding - I even found a good blues tone with the JP-2C after sitting down with it a while. It...

    Mini Rectifier on order

    After being on the fence I ordered a Mini Rectifier. Was an open box special and decided to grab it. I was first looking to downsize my rig - and was initially going to sell my JP-2C... I couldn't do it - that amp is just too good to part with... So I decided to sell some other equipment I...

    Thinking about downscaling

    Well, I had it on Reverb for about a day - then pulled the listing after sitting down and playing through it for an hour... I just can't sell it. I have the Mini Rectifier coming on Friday. If I like it, I'm selling off a part of my other gear that rarely gets used anymore. Guess I can use...

    Thinking about downscaling

    Really on the fence about selling of my JP-2C and going with something much smaller - Mini Rectifier. As much as I love the JP-2C - it gets largely unused now that my band has decided to really tone down our gigs and only do 4 or 5 a year. I just ordered the Mini Rec and have 30 days to...

    my JP2c sounds weak and frail, it has no balls.

    The only amp I've had that is louder and has more gain on tap was my Krankenstein+ - but it didn't have nearly the tonal range or clarity of the JP-2C. My first JP-2C had a preamp tube issue that is similar to what you describe. Once that got swapped out it opened the amp right up. It's...

    So it's here.....

    Really like the vertical 2X12 - I have one. Also a 1X12 Widebody closed back. The 2X12 fits it better -but I gotta say, got a chance to plug into a Recto OS 4X12 - it really does outshine the 2X12. Not by leaps and bounds mind you, but it definitely lends itself the the JP-2C. I will keep...

    My wallet is laughing uncontrollably

    My JP-2C went down at a rehearsal, 3 days before a gig. The store I got to loaned me a Mark V:35 for the show. Seriously great amp. I've been thinking of getting one ever since. Don't get me wrong, JP-2C has killer sounds and some performance options the V:35 doesn't, but you won't be...

    NAD

    I was selling my EBMM Majesty - and someone had a brand new JP-2C he offered in trade. Apparently he wanted both the guitar and the amp, but the guitar is severely back ordered right now. Purple Bronco - only 2 days old. I may sell my current JP-2C seeing I wasn't in the market for another.

    Close call

    I pick on my singer - because all he needs to bring to a show is a microphone. Even his rehearsal PA is something you could probably pick up at radio shack. Cabinet was on concrete floor in basement. I almost always bring my head home, but haven't the past few rehearsals because I've been...

    Close call

    I left my JP-2C and vertical 2X12 cab at my drummers because we've been doing a series of rehearsals for a gig this Friday. Sunday, I was getting nothing from my amp. Checked the back and noticed the speaker cable was bent pretty badly - I thought that was the culprit, but then noticed my...

    my JP is dead silent

    Swap out your speaker cable and see what happens - make sure you get a good quality one. I had a similar issue where everything would come on briefly then go dead quiet. I ended up changing all cables at rehearsal except the speaker cab because I didn't have one handy. Almost was going to do...
