I just bought a used Single Rec 50 watt Solo amp. It is excellent. Like get a chubby plugging it up kind of excellent. It is the best REC I played on. Played many at a Guitar Centers in Atlanta. As a REC noob, what is the difference aside of number of power tubes in the single, double, and triple rec heads. This thing is beastly running thru my Celestion GT75 speakers in a Marshall combo 50 watt cab. Just by adjusting the guitar volume it gets a Foo Fighters, Beck, even sounds good covering Kiss Parasite. It gives a great modern vibe to covering Seek & Destroy or Bell Tolls. I played it for 6 hours last night and a few this morning. Killer amp and will be a good friend to my MKV head. The only reason I am not playing now is THE PLAYOFFS :D :D :D

2/4/6 tubes, some switching options (fx loop), extra channel on dual/triple, rectifier tracking (tube or diode), selectable power per channel on the new duals and triples.
 
Sorry, I am aware of aditional channels and features. I was talking about the preamp or something that would let it distort really hot. I know I don't have all the features the cool kids with the newer DR and TR amps. :wink:
 
Well, the preamps are (were?) the same, but you have less power tube headroom, which means you'll have power tube distortion earlier. Plus you don't have the extra channel with a different presence pot.. but that should be it.
