Mini RECTO CLIPS!

[siggy14]

I agree, not to mention that the EL84's bring a whole new tone palet to the market. Lets face it, this will never sound exactly like a dual, but i am sure it is going to make some great tones as well with some more mid's.

I also agree, if you are a musician that is on a limited budget and gigs, then buying a used 2 channel or 3 channel will do the trick. You can pick up a used one between $800 and $1000 these days.

However some gigging musicians will only play small bar clubs as they are weekend giggers, so the low wattage of this amp will do the job fine, also some people might prefer to buy new and are still on a limited budget and this amp might fall right in line for those people that do not want to deal with the hassle of buying used.

I don't see how having more choices can be a bad thing.

I also don't understand the, "it's $999, so just buy a DR" thinking. The mini is almost half the price of a new Dual. If you're talking used that's a different story, so let's compare apples to apples. That extra $900 for the dual could easily put it out of financial reach for a lot of guys, especially the stay at home players who aren't bringing home cash from gigs.

Used, the Mini's will drop in price and provide another alternative to the guys who can't swing $1200 for a used DR. More choices. It's all good. I'm very happy to see Mesa/Boogie providing quality amps, made in the USA, at a price point more people can afford.

I pre-ordered mine through sweetwater.com this morning. I talked to them and they said that they will get about 50 of them the week of Oct 10th and I was #12 and guaranteed that I would get one in the first shipment. I'll make sure to come back here when I get it and give a quick review of it. I didn't get the mini recto cabs. I will be using the 2x12 vertical recto cab I got this past week.

I play at home, and jam with a full band every other Friday for fun. I think this little recto will be perfect for my needs.

Well... change of plans. Picked up an used Mark IVa head for $999 (same price of the mini recto). Cancelled my order with sweetwater and I am one happy mofo. :lol:
