For Sale Dual Rectifier 3ch

[stlnvet]

I'm the second owner. It's always been in a smoke-free home. Works perfectly and the tubes have about 50 hours on them. And yes, it has a suede covering...not sure why .
It's also on Reverb if you want to check my past reviews. I'm looking for $1300+100 shipping.

Hey, just wanted to ask a few questions regarding the fx loop... I have a 3 channel triple rec, parallel loop. That thing is a demon to work with. Did you use the fx loop in yours at all? If so, what settings for send/mix and output did you find worked best? Thanks

Just get a tech to do the mod to a series loop, it's pretty easy to do from what I understand. I wouldn't touch the inside of an amp myself as I like to live! I had mine modded when he did another mod. Didn't cost much at all and he knows how not to die....

yes very simple to mod the loop, it will take a competent tech way more time to remove and reinstall the chassis than it will to complete the actual mod

Asides from modding, any pointers in regards to using it the way it is?

My $0.02

My first Mesa was a 2001 Triple Rectifier. I started with a few Boss pedals in the loop for a couple of years but was never happy with how they performed. I blamed the pedals and tried other brands, even bought a TC G-Major, which was an improvement, but the amp always sounded ‘weaker’ with the FX loop switched in. I tried using the EQ in the G-Major to tweak things but it always just made matters worse (which I now know is because of using an EQ in a parallel FX loop). I was also not happy that the noise gate in the G-Major was useless in a parallel loop, and any pitch & modulation effects always sounded weird. I found myself constantly fiddling with knobs and settings.

That all changed in 2007 when I bought my Roadster. Same G-Major, but now in a series FX Loop. I still use that same G-Major today with the Roadster and TC-100.

The owners manual is always a good resource. Start with the FX send at about 11:00 and keep your channel master settings conservative. I never went above 10:00 in channel 3 Modern.

In the end I think you would be much happier with a series FX Loop. With the money I spent trying different pedals I could have just had the amp modded. Even a ‘high end’ unit like the G-Major couldn’t fix the cons of a parallel FX loop for the average musician.

At this point I think I am going to get the mod done. I have tried using boss pedals, and currently have a g major 2, and that loop has been nothing short of a complete nightmare.

Thank you for the advice.
