I have a Tremoverb, the weight is killing me..... I was just offered a trade for a Rectoverb combo (1x12 combo) and the idea of a 1x12 is a nice idea, and 25-30 pounds lighter.
I know I'll like the distortion, but the clean channel is where I'm concerned? I've owned both these amps before, but I only played hard rock with a hot humbucker guitar at the time, so I really don't know how the clean sounded. Now I'm playing a lot of country music and a good clean is important. This wouldn't be my main amp, but it would be used quite a bit at the gigs where I do play more rock. Reverb and Tremolo aren't that big to me as I'm not a fan of reverb and I use a Tremolo pedal.
There is a big plus the Rectoverb has over the T-verb, and that's the solo boost. But if the cleans aren't there, then it really doesn't matter.
I'd like to here from people that have had both or at least had a Rectoverb and can let me know how they like the cleans? I know the Tremoverb is a "more sought after" amp and possibly one of Mesa's best...... But it's not going to do me any good when I throw my 37yr old back out loading it in to the back seat of my 2-door car.
What do you think?
