Single rectifiers, why no rectifier tube???

[tbonesullivan]

Ah, ok. With this logic ’Single rectifier’ should be called just ’single’ or ’No rectifier’. I would say ’single’ because ’no rectifier’ implies that it runs on either battery or AC. This is propably why it was removed from the lineup, it just does not fit to the naming scheme. Sad really, single is better than people give it credit for.

Well actually they should have called the Triple Rectifier the Quadruple rectifier! And the Dual Rectifier the Triple rectifier.

Jeez, give it a rest. Are you going to go after Fender next, claiming that the "Deluxe Reverb" is not really "Deluxe"?

Never thought of that, but you’re absolutely right. Deluxe Reverb should not be called Deluxe, there’s nothing luxurious about it. Ordinary Reverb at best.

It’s all just marketing, is the Big Mac really all that big?

Loved the Deluxe analogy!

Single Rectos and ROV are some of my favorites. Tonal haven when boosted. Speaking as a Dual Rev. G owner.

Ditto, and they're an incredible bargain on the used market. Best death metal amp ever. Also, they give up the goods at a totally reasonable rehearsal volume.

In France they call it a "Royale with reverb."

Ok after many, many years of sitting on the sideline I will admit the Rect thing is giving me GAS now It just may be a passing moment in time I dunno we'll see.

So in the Single Rect models are there any differences between the 50W Solo head (rev I/II), the ROV? Is it just the addition of Reverb? Anything else to share is appreciated.
