Mesa Dual Rectifier 2ch

[Instant_Noodles]

OMG, both of clips above are awesome! I think I'm in love now with this fucking hot tube amp!! :| @Metalastic: why didn't you suggest me this monster? :d

 

[paladin shredder]

anybody wana share their settings for their dual rec?

 

[Nebulous]

Ohhh Point Cook I'm only 15 minutes away if that!

Really? I thought I was the only Melbourne dude on this side of the Westgate Bridge!

Honestly, that offer is open to you or any one in Melbourne, my place isn't top notch (untreated room for the moment, basic I/O, etc), but the offers there if required.

 

[Ermz]

Does that mean after treatment you'd be open to me coming down and blasting insane high-gain amps for the noble purpose of reamping?

 

[Nebulous]

Fuck yeah dude! I'm only calling every other Melbourner on here to my house so that I can learn all your secrets

[Ermz]

Haha, I'd say we know pretty much the same secrets, having gone to uni for 2 years together and hanging on the same forum. Still fun to blast amps though!

 

[Nebulous]

Hell no man, you leaped way beyond my ability, if not back then, since then.

 

[HeadCrusher]

And now that I have my Recto cab, I'll be borrowing my friend's 3-channel in the next few days for a comparison!

Really looking forward to that!

Holy fuck nuggets those tones are good, both marcus and poidabi. Especially marcus, thats the best tone I've heard from you, and I can tell that would sit lovely in a mix

[Metaltastic]

Thanks a lot Joe! As I said, this past week I've really just had to stop being such a bitch about the dustcap and presence knob, and know that the fizz will be a recipe for awesome in a mix! Not an easy lesson to be learned though

 

[Ermz]

^ Well you're definitely learning 180 degree opposite lessons to me

The fizz can get washed away in some mixes, but by no means is it something to aim for. Guitar tones in metal are all about getting the mids right and having the highs present, yet in control. The smoother the sound of the mids, the more crushing the tone when the bass and kick are brought into things.

 

[Metaltastic]

Well one lesson at a time I suppose! (but then again, you think the "Sweet Vengeance" tone is actually something to aspire to, so I guess we have different ideas of good tone )

Haha, well I did in post 12 in your thread, but in passing - the HD147 is a great, convenient live amp, but in a recording nothing beats tube amps! (especially a Dual Rec )

anybody wana share their settings for their dual rec?

Sure! Here are the exact settings for the clip above:

The red (bottom) channel, that is, I don't normally have the orange dialed in that way (it was for getting a fat clean tone to break in my speakers )

Aaaw, you make me cry with your dual rectifiers. Really.
I love it's tone and of course your recti tones
thanks to our ultra-stupid government and to some assholes at the import, the cheapest dual rectifiers are at 2549 €, which would be some nice 3.325,04 US Dollars. FUCK!

Fuck I love the European culture, the people and the scenery but am I ever fucking glad I live in North America sometimes

One funny thing is, for example "Hughes & Kettner" (german). They are even cheaper in the US. wtf? :Smug:
Yeah, but i don't want to be off-topic all the time, only a last question:
Could someone name me a big US-online store for music equipment, plz?
Because i couldn't find the dual recti neither on http://www.musiciansfriend.com/ nor on http://www.music123.com/
And: http://www.sweetwater.com/feature/not_available/mesaboogie.php (lol)
Why?

 

[Metaltastic]

Stupid Mesa policies, they can't be sold new online, they can't have their prices printed anywhere online, and music stores aren't allowed to negotiate the price for 'em! :Smug: Ebay is the way to go for online ordering, and I'm sure you could find someone who would ship to Germany!

Strange

Thats the daily question in german music-forums, whether it is cheaper to import an amp from the US or buy a used one here.
We have a different line voltage so you need a (not very cheap) transformer, and our customs office is very keen on earning some extra money, plus the shipping costs.
In the end it's as expensive as buying a used dual recti here, and you don't have the problems with the voltage and warranty.

Having a dual recto has given me gas for sure. He was willing to do 5150 and some cash, but I still can't do it.

Again I suck at not having money .
