    Who Plays Straight Into Their Mesa?

    I play straight into the amp, no effects. I use a lespaul studio with burstbuckers pro, a lespaul Menace, an SG faded equipped with 498/490, a LTD H400 with EMGs and a Yamaha RGX-A2 all through a Recto-Verb II with a 2X12 3/4 back and a 2X12 Recto cab. I mostly play my own stuff, but also some...

    Vibrating tube driving me crazy......

    Well, the silicone dampeners came in today. I had to try them out as soon as I got home. They are simply incredible. I put two per EL34 and the vibration is completely gone. They were pretty hard to slip on, talk about tight. I haven't played a very long session, but there was no smell and no...

    Confused about a few cab choices.....

    OOoooo man..... man oh man oh man oh man, I just tried the combo + the cab. Yikes. Auditory Nirvana. That's what I was looking for. Pure bliss. I know what I'm buying now, a nice 2 X 12 recto cab. That made my girlfriend jealous though. She took her recto cab back from me and now she wants to...

    Confused about a few cab choices.....

    I only tried the ROV with the 2 X 12 cab in the 8 ohm, so my combo speaker was unplugged. Tonight I'll try it like you say, with the combo speaker AND the cab in the 4 ohms. Can't wait 'till I get home.

    Confused about a few cab choices.....

    Hmmm, I'm not very educated in cab connections. How would you connect your setup so you'd be using the 3 speakers? You leave your combo speaker connected in the regular 8 ohm and go out one of the 4 ohm from the combo into the 8 ohm recto cab? I haven't tried that. 4 ohms into 8 ohms is safe...

    Confused about a few cab choices.....

    I'm the owner of a Rectoverb combo. After checking out the cabs (2 X 12 models more precisely) on the Mesa site I noticed something peculiar. The 2 X 12 rectifier cab has two V30 speakers and is a closed back. The 2 X 12 3/4 Back cab has two C90 speakers and is a tuned 3/4 closed back. Now, the...

    Anyone else fatigued by the "recto sound"?

    I for one had never looked twice at rectos before because of the misconception that all they could do was chugg. 8 months ago I played one, really played one, and I've been the happy owner of a recto-verb ever since. It's the most versatile amp I've ever owned. I rarely push the gain past 12...

    Vibrating tube driving me crazy......

    No, not from them, I found them on eBay. I took a chance because the seller had perfect feedback and they were cheaper than the c-rings from herbiesaudiolab. I got 8 for $10.00. Here's the link...

    Vibrating tube driving me crazy......

    Well, I ordered a set of eight ultra fat dampener rings made of silicone. They suggest to put two per tube and they have a temperature rating of over 400 degrees F. Should help to bring the annoyance to a minimum until I can get my hands on a cab. When I get them in and have tested them I will...

    Rectverb build quality

    Well, I've had my rectoverb series II for about 8 months now, and the only issue I have with it is the vibrating tube that's real annoying since I only play at home and never crank the amp past 1/3 of the output, so the vibrating tube is very audible. My girlfriend just bought a Solo head 50...

    Vibrating tube driving me crazy......

    I just stumbled upon this little website during my search for a solution. I thought I'd share with you all; http://herbiesaudiolab.home.att.net/

    Vibrating tube driving me crazy......

    You mean like the covers with springs inside them for the smaller preamp tubes (the 12AX7) ? They make those in bigger size for power tubes?

    Vibrating tube driving me crazy......

    A power tube in my Rectoverb combo keeps vibrating and it's simply driving me crazy. It's the one positioned right behind the speaker. I've taken it out several times and tightened the little metal supports that's supposed to keep it sitting tight, but nothing works, it keeps vibrating. I even...

    6L6 or EL34

    Whoa, is that a LP Studio faded in brown? 'Cause that would be eerie since mine seems exactly the same. I'll post a pic later.

    6L6 or EL34

    I'm in a EL34 mood right now with my RectoVerb, but I must admist that my EMG equipped LTD H-400 doesn't sound as good as when I had the 6L6s in. I find that my lesPaul sounds much better though. Don't know how long it will take before I want to return to 6L6s.....
