What kind of Dual Recto is this???

[Gear-Monkey]

I've never seen one like this before. I'm thinking about buying it.

The Maverick's are 35 watts I think with EL84's instead of 6L6's/EL34's. I think it also has reverb.

A fine amp! The Maverick was designed from the ground up for roots players. There are two separate preamps, 4 EL84s in the output section and switchable tube/solid state rectifier. Very versatile, very magical sounding clean channel. The overdrive channel takes a bit of tweaking but will sing like a bird when you get it right. You can download the manual at the Mesa website if you want to know more. $750 seems reasonable for a clean head, it is my opinion that the Maverick is one of the more under-rated Mesas. Good luck, tell us if you snag it and how you like it!

Don't they sound like the Dual Recto?

I've never played one before, but from what I've read they have a different sound than your traditional DR.

i was looking for an amp that play metal and the dealer even didn't want me to try it, he told me it's more a bluesy style.

 

[Gear-Monkey]

I have a YCV20 for blues stuff
