So I thought I would post a pic of the recently re-done face plate on my "new-old" Trem-O-Verb. The same factory grill cloth from Orange was used. It's a '96, attached power chord, weird but awesome older "pointer style" Recto Knobs and the best old Recto tones I have had the pleasure of getting. This head doesn't quite sound as good as my Combo (A-B'ed through the same Orange cab) as I bought it with LDR issues. However, in a month or so I'll send it straight to Mesa to have it given the once over to get the minor switching issues resolved. It does sound better then when I bought it after a major (and expensive repair) but I think it needs some Mesa love.
My combo was purchased in '96 brand new in the store and had sat there for a year or even longer. I think it could be a '94? It was my very first Mesa ever. Theres a cool story about it as well that I posted here when I first got it back in Milwaukee.

TOV's both sound FANTASTIC through the Orange cabs. I'll be getting a matching Black Orange 4X12 very soon after my Recto 4X12 sells (its in mint condition and a rare straight cab)
Thanks to all the folks on this forum who keep the hype alive regarding the TOVs. In my, and many people here's opinion, they are the best Dual Rectifier that Mesa has ever produced...and I have owned a LOT of them.
Enjoy!
For the record, all the damage to the amps chasis...was me. I used to be pretty "punk-rock" about my gear. I have repented of my old sineful ways. :lol:
Thanks for viewing/reading. LONG LIVE THE TOV!!!!!!
