Could this be an easy mod for my rectoverb?

[StrykeBack]

I had talked to the tech on mesa a few weeks back about my parallel effects loop issue with weird feedback and oscillating. One issue fixed was a line level shifter...however I still can't run modulations and my long delay trails can do phasing issues.

I've got the Series II rectoverb head with the parallel effects loop pan pot that can go from 10 to 90 percent. Now I was wondering if I can rewire the pot or get a different one to go from 0 to 100 percent? And would going 100 percent in parallel actually make it a serial loop?

I ask this because the tech at mesa said that any pedals that sucked tone infront of the amp would still be sucking tone in a serial but not in a parallel loop.

ask Mesa about making the modification, they actually do mod their amps at the shop if you so request (and pay$$$) for it.

Hey thanks for the reply. I'm actually going to be down in the LA hollywood area this weekend. Do you mean the factory of mesa, or the mesa boogie amp store down in hollywood next to sam ash and the GC?

I meant Mesa HQ in the Bay Area. I dont know if they offer mods in the outlet store, worth asking though.

No, they are in Petaulma, which is roughly one hour north of San Francisco.

Its absolutely possible, but it would make much more sense to just buy a dual recto off the tip of the bat.
