When were the 3-channel Rectifiers released?

[JPIndustrie]

Hey.

I'm about to buy a used 3-channel Dual Recto, and wondering when Mesa intro'd the 3-channels and replaced the 2-channel rectos?

Thanks.

BTW. Thanks for everyone's help. I finally had a chance to compare the F-50 I bought with a stiletto and Dual Recto, and decided the Dual Recto is really what I'm looking for.

I want to say 2002, but that may be wrong. Someone like Guitarzan or 4nkam will probably know.

In 2000, I believe. I have a 2001 Triple, and I think they had been out for about a year at that point...

If I email my amp's serial number to Mesa, can they give me an accurate date of when it was made?

Yup mine is from 2000/2001.

I bought one new from Mars in June 2000.

You can call or email them the number is all over this forum.

2 days ago I saw a 2 channel dual recto that was made in 2003. SO it says. 2 channel, with clean/pushed on channel 1, and raw/vintage/modern on channel 2. Custom? Lies? I have no idea. But according to that....they were made after the 3 channels were released. Because I KNOW some of you on here have ones made before that which were 3 channel. I'll research more.

Sounds like a single recto to me.

Single Rectifier.

Yeah I saw that one too - I think on ebay or craigslist, i don't remember, but on closer look it is a Single Recto.

THe amp itself had dual rec written on it. I could have been wrong. I was late.
