Vintage mode of a series I Rectoverb same as the II?

[chpsktplyr]

Don't want to spend the xtra cash for a series 2 if the only difference is the # of modes. Any info would be appreciated

Let's not forget the all important reverb knob in the front
I had both and think they sound about the same...according to mesa, the series 2 is slightly more aggressively voiced.

They should be the same.

Series II differences would include switchable bias 6L6/EL34, Raw mode and no channel switching delay.

Reverb knob in back? What were they thinking? Oh the humanity. Delay in switching I can live with, if It's not really noticeable-- Sounds like I don't need to sweat the series I, II thing and just go with the best deal.

I asked this question directly to Mesa Boogie, see the post here:

They gave at least one bit of bad info...the footswitch was NOT a 1/4 inch jack on my series 1

I wouldn't upgrade without considering other amps first...

The detachable footswitch cable is cool, but a hit and miss if someone steps on the cord near the pedal. It comes unplugged, and drives me nuts. :x

I said one bit of wrong info but I'll add 2 more. They changed to silver knobs and as I mentioned before, put the reverb on the front panel. In hindsight, since the reverb is almost non-extistant, maybe they should've left it in the back. :roll:
