Here's a wee comparison of my two 2 channel Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifiers.
One is a RevG rackmount (upgraded with Mercury Magnetics transformers), the other one is a RevF
I used the same settings on both amps, except for the presence knob which works differently on the RevG, so I turned it up to 12:30 on the RevG to achieve the same amount of presence as on the RevF with the pres knob on 9:30.
As you can hear there aren't night-day differences, but the RevG is quite a bit warmer and more "lush" and thick sounding while the RevF is tighter with more clarity and bite.
Both were plugged into a Rectifier 4x12 and a Stiletto 4x12 with an sm57 on each of the cabs.
