Silverwulf said:Not really. In recent times (the last year), I've seen them go in the $1500 to $1800 range. In fact, I'd sold 3 Revision C's and 2 Revisions D's in the last 1.5 years in that range.
adam79 said:So as an owner of several C and D revisions, I noticed that you decided to keep the Rev. G at the end. Did you sell the earlier revisions cuz you needed the money, or do you feel that Mesa got it right at Rev. G?
Silverwulf said:most of the iconic tones people associate with a Recto were a Revision G. Everything from most of the Grunge and post-Grunge stuff like Soundgarden, Korn and all the nu-metal, down to Petrucci and his old Dream Theater Recto tones were Revision G.
Silverwulf said:In fact, I wouldn't even call them a clean channel. They're sterile, lifeless, lack any sort of volume, etc.
Silverwulf said:I see Revision G's all the time in the $800 to $1000 range. In fact, I think there's a a couple (or were) over at HC for $900/$950 OBO recently.

Harmony Central. Not the greatest place to strike up lots of tech talk, but there's some good deals that pop up on occasion.

If I'm gonna get a DR, I would only buy it from a big store, like Guitar Center, Daddy's, etc. That way I'd be able to have the 30 day trail period. I've never tried the 2 channel models, just the three channel ones; the local stores never have the older models. So what I've gathered is that all the 2 channel models are, sonically, 99% the same.. so as long as the amp is in good condition, the earlier serial numbers are nothing more than hype. Although I play mostly with heavy distortion, I need a good clean channel as well.
Thanks for all the help, and I'll right back when I get my DR.
