Not mine obviously. Just an interesting video in the Rectifier wars.....

Personally, I think both sounded better before he turned up the gain.

I'm sure I like both amps but I can't get past that guitar. It looks and sounds terrible.

The cleans were deffinately better in the 2010. The Tverb was tighter and had way less fuzz/fizz

I got bored and fast forwarded to the end where he tweaked the amps and cranked up the gain. The Tremoverb seemed a bit more scooped and smoother, and a bit spongier too. The 2010 recto seems less organic, with a semi annoying midrange. But, it's too hard to tell from listening to an amateur clip on the 'netz. All and all, both amps sounded like a rectifier, e.g., fantastic.

I haven't tried out the 2010 model yet, but had 3 channel dual rec and now a 2 channel triple rec and I definitely like it much better than the 3 channel version. Much more organic especially when switched to Spongy and rectifier settings. I'm so glad I traded my Stilleto Ace for the 2 channel triple rect. It's a great amp!

On the basis of that clip I don't think I need to worry about getting a new amp any time soon.




I just thought the Tremoverb sounded flat-out better, clean as well. Maybe not a huge difference on some of the settings, and neither of them was exactly finely dialed in, but every time he switched to the Tremoverb it seemed to get bigger and more natural sounding.

Also for what it's worth, the right comparison is between the Raw mode on Ch.2/3 on the new amp and Blues on the Tremoverb, not between Pushed on Ch.1 and Blues. Pushed uses the clean channel and gain structure which is totally different from channels 2 and 3 and all modes on the Tremoverb.
