I'm simply looking for random opinions here, especially from those who have both, or have had both. While I am generally satisfied with the Rect-O-Verb Combo, I do feel it lacks guts at times. I typically break out the Mesa for a gritty jam session as do most. I play with a few guys and they have complained about my volume level - as in turn it up! :shock: Anyway, I was over at a buddies house tonight and took his Triple for a spin once again. Unreal. It further confirmed my opinion that Mesas are the best bang for the buck for non-botique "distortion" amps. I know the The Dual Rectifier is considered the most popular model, and it is capable of that extra power I need while providing either silicone diode or tube rectification (vs. my SD only combo). Doing some reading I have confirmed what I once read - that the old two channel Duals are considered to have the best sound. I'm thinking of selling the Combo and getting an old Blackface Dual. Call me nuts, but I also think there is going to be a collectable factor at some point here. These babies are modern day classics.
