Hi everyone, I'm new to the board. Should have signed up a long old time ago really as I've been a Mesa user for years...
Anyway, I've owned and played several pre-Reborn Dual and Triple rectifiers. In 2014 I bought a reborn Dual Rectifier, and it's by far my favourite amp I've ever owned.
However, I've always felt that it simply doesn't have the gain available that the previous models did. I know there's no issues with the amp, it's been fully serviced, and both the pre and power section have been revalved in the time I've owned it. So I know there are no "problems" per se, it just feels much less saturated than the previous models.
Has anybody else found this to be the case?
And, btw, when I say "not as much gain", there's still plenty. But to give an example, a friend's triple rec has MORE than enough gain (to the point where it's almost unusable and turning to mush) at around 12-1 o'clock. It's better off rolled off from there, and then boosted. My reborn Dual doesn't get saturated enough until it's at about 2 o'clock AND boosted.
Many thanks!
