I was waiting for him to say "This is my clean tone..."
Bro, nobody gives a damn about the clean tone 😂
You don't buy a legendary ultra high gain, mega distortion amp in the hopes of getting a great clean channel. 🤣🤣🤣
@@mr.nobody68 I'd say I agree but they do have some fire cleans for being a single unit. That's a testament to good quality. 100% agree it IS a LEGEND! Fuckin fire breather series!✊👑
Just checked the serial on mine and it's 3101 - so close to yours at 3065! Nothing like one. The parallel loop points to Rev G but the small badge points to Rev F so they're kinda like Rev F#'s.
Our amps are literal siblings wow!
Yup I had one in that same area - 3600s I think, attached power cord plus small logo and parallel loop. Early G, kinda sounded like an F.
Mine is 3931 with small logo, attached power cord, but I had it modded by Voodoo Amps to have a Series FX loop, and less fuzzy gain structure etc...the amp is a beast. Love them.
Patrick Verdi I always mod mine the same way every time I’ve bought one. Series loop is a must.
I have a sub 1000 in leather, a gift from my dad. He isn't with us, so this amp is really special to me.
Fluff and Mesa, where it all began
I agree
Been here since your shootout videos. Just wanna say you helped me get into homerecording and being a gear nerd. Your amp reviews never disappoint! Thanks and keep up the good stuff!
I love how everyone is doing the full circle, always come back to the original and the best
I have always loved the distortion texture of the dual rec!
92,93 awesome year for rock and to be alive, glad i got to be there. great video
Man!! Let me tell you. I love this nerdy amp videos. You already present my two favourite high gain amps. Don’t know what is coming
I got my 2 channel Tremoverb head years ago after watching some of your comparisons. In the chassis of mine, it's signed "GM 6/94". I've added amps since this one, but being of similar musical upbringing, the Dual Rectifier was a dream amp of mine and has a special place in my heart. It sounds similar to this one, and the switchable reverb and tremolo is a cool addition
The best tone I ever heard was a newly serviced, and completely re-tubed single Rec 50 cranked thru a 1960 Marshall cab with Greenbacks. My guitarist (I was the drummer) got it after selling his Marshall JCM900. He later sold the Mesa for a VHT Pitbull 120 previously owned by Frank from SNAPCASE, and paired that with two O.G. British Orange 4x12's. It was huge. Sound guys hated us after that, and I preferred the Mesa 50 honestly, but like I said, I was the drummer. A very loud drummer, who constantly broke stuff: )
\m/
Great video Fluff!!
Cheers!
Love the Rhythm tones holy shit. And those cleans are so raw and full too. Such a killer amp. Not for everything but paired with a Mark Series or other brand would fit so well in a live mix.
I had Mesa Dual Rec dreams as a wee lad as well, I even boosted the Mesa catalog from the music shop just so I could drool at home. Next you're gonna tell us you just got a 5150 block letter. Wait...
One of my top 3 favorite amps, sounds so good dude.
What are the other two ?
Loved the dual rec I owned. I put a 5751 in v1 to dial back on things, then boosted the front. Clear and heavy. Awesome amps.
Aha there you are that old fluff side I've been waiting for the side that got me to subscribe instantly because your riffs drive me insane there so badass👙💪👊
I really enjoyed how this tone paired with your bass tone
OMG!!! that sounds amazing I love it! and I need one of those right now!
This guy is an EXCELENTE STORY TELLER!!!
Yoooo sounds great man! Bass especially wow!
I love these informative videos, I learned more about this legendary amp from a 7 minute video by fluff compared to spending weeks on a gear forum.
Gear forums suck because you've always got some jackass talking about his line 6/Kemper/5150
Thanks for the good info. Rev F is the grail recto for sure.
I’ve got a 2001 single rec which I love and the leather on it is still holding up after all these use. I purchased it used and was in excellent conditions
Single rec FTW! Such an underrated beast
That little song you played was god damn epic
The Dual Rec and the JCM 800 (2203) are my dream heads and they have served very well
I want the 2203ZW
Just swinging by to share the excitement of pulling the trigger on a 2 channel Dual rec R-007280 !
Welcome back to the Mesa fold!!
Good lord, that sounds amazing!
4:00 that was a very pretty clean tone.
That amp sounds REALLY good!
Man. Mesa dual rec. Still the king.
I bought your revision E Dual Rectifier a couple years ago :) Still have it. My 2nd revision E.... amazing amps
I like the song, 1:25 sounds nice. 🤘 Maybe one day I will own a Dual Rectifier.
Love the channel, Fluff! I have the chance to buy a Rev G at a decent price. My only issue is Mesa’s parallel fx loop. It is supposedly notoriously bad w/ modern stomp boxes. I’d run a gate, Keeley reverb/delay & a gate in the loop. Thanks for your input!
Bright and snappy, good score!
Just got a Triple Rec rev f. Revisited this video and I really like the dual rec. But I got a good deal on the triple and love it. I don't think you can really go wrong with rectifiers.
Even with its reputation, this thing sounds amazing.
I got my Rev F Dual Rec on last year and my serial number is 2700. Absolutely a beast!
Nice demo
Can you do a video on how to tell the differences between all the revisions and different ways to tell which revision you have or may be looking to buy? Just an idea.
Nice tone! That would go great with my 78 Gibson RD Standard!
Love it!!!!
Simply put, the amp seems to inspire you. That’s all anyone of us can ask for.
My first high end amp was a Mesa Single Rectifier around 15 years ago. I walked into guitar center and just bought it right away on a credit card my friend had, we had no idea what we were doing. The fact that it was a 50 watt really helped you push the tubes in a live setting. I think they were definitely underrated I have a Mesa Triple Crown now but I think I might pick one up on the used market eventually.
Hey Dude! Great Amp! I Just have bought an old Rev G, and I'm wondering, do you have a pedal in front at 4:45? or is this the distortion just from the amp? Mine could never sound that defined in that gain setting, that you have... mine starts to sound muddy with the gain after 12 o'clock...
stopped watching fluff a few months ago bc i felt like he made every amp sound the same BUT this shit sounds good as f*** hell ya bruther
That was a nice sounding amp I need to do a vid on my line 6
Adding a few more amps to your collection I see... where do you and how do you store your heads?
Great video, Fluff! I also own one of the old 2-channel Dual Rectifiers. Mine, however, was made much later than yours. The serial number is R-011490. After I bought it, I called Mesa/Boogie and asked them if they could look up that serial number in their records and tell me what year it was made. I think they said 1996 if I remember correctly. I've also owned a 3-channel Triple Rectifier which I sold and traded up to a Road King Series II which I still have and I'm getting a Mark V in a few months.
To me, the biggest differences between the 2-channel Dual Rectifiers and the newer ones are:
1) No dedicated clean channel. It has two channels and they're both high-gain overdrive. Channel 1 (the orange channel) is Vintage High Gain while channel 2 (the red channel) is Modern High Gain. Channel 1 (the orange channel) can be set to a clean mode via a switch on the rear panel, but it doesn't sound very good. Nothing like a Mark IV or V
2) There's only one rectifier switch. The switch that allows you to select either tube rectification or diode rectification is a master switch. The newer ones have a rectifier switch for each channel.
3) No Multi-Watt. Although, Mesa/Boogie did tell me that you can run it at 50 watts if you run it with only the center pair of power tubes plugged in. It won't hurt the amp. Remember, they're built like tanks. They were designed to take a fall off a stage at full volume and not miss a beat.
Like you, this amp was the object of my desire for many years. When Linkin Park's first album, Hybrid Theory, came out I remember thinking, "How the f*** did they get that sound?!" I was playing Marshall amps at the time and nothing I had even came close. It's a beast. Accept no imitators
In addition to having a new amp, you also have a new subscriber. Cheers!
A have a Ref F early 2000 serial number. The amp roars it’s definitely more aggressive, throaty and just a bit brighter.
Hello, thank you for your content........ do you have favorite tubes for these 2 channel Rectifiers, what do you recommended for preamp & output tubes ? .... thank you.... Rock On.🤘
Best DUAL Rev I've ever heard was modified by Brian at BFG
I got an early Rev. F w/ Serial No. R-0681. 😊
Definitely top 3 high gain amplifiers.
Will it ch- wait this isn’t ola
What will he taste next?!?
fluff testing shit
These amps came out in the 1990's i was 19 and going into my 20's. So, i've see n alot of amps based on the dual rectifirer band/MESA brand. The Triaxis was new too.
That track at the start was a banger! What was that bass signal chain?
I had a dual rec many years ago. I wonder what revision I had????
Nice find! Ever mess around with a single rec?
What do y’all think about the Mesa dual Rec, rectoverb 25? Proper metal amp or not quite where the dual recs are?
Sounds great fluff. Bass tone sounds nice too. Plugin?
I have a single rec and a dual rec, and have no idea how to date them, or what revision mine are can you help
Do a single rectifier review! :]
Sounds awesome fluff. Have you ever tried a mini rectifier?
I've read they're decent. I got the 6505mh and love it with and od, eq and noise gate. Plus, it was only $400 👍
Dude! That's filthy!
Fluff, we need a dialing in video for the rectifier in Helix.
Hi fluff , I’m contemplating a triple rec in the near future. Trouble is I’ve historically been a solid state Randall guy. And as we all know you have to push the hell out of a Randall to get it right, and then gate it so hard it chokes things out. My big question is, how hard do you usually have to gate the recto?I’ve played one recto in my life, sounded great to memory, but I can’t remember if it was a noisy shit like a Randall or not lol. Thanks bro!
Im curious about your bass tone, but Mesa sounds great!
Why was the distortion so low in them? Is that why they came out with the triple?
Hey fluff what drum program are you using nowadays?
quite brighter like a mod marshall
Pretty great tone on that head.
Found a tremoverb dual rectifier for sale at a local guitar shop. Mid 93-early 94 model. I’m assuming this would be based off of the revision G voicing or could it possibly be based off revision F?
Yo Fluff, could you profile that puppy?! 😮
Sounds fooking amazing!
My favorite amp and I am lucky to own a revision f precisely owned by Richard Kruspe from Rammstein 🤘
What year is the F ? I love the sound of early rammstein, they dont have that rich old industrial sound in their rig any more
@@EM-km8em i am not quit sure. But i think the serial number number i f666 🤘
Yes their sound was totally epic! 😁
I have seen that Richard use a Kemper profiling amp. Maybe that's why 🙂
@@NielsKristianSkov yeah maybe they got tired of carrying the mesa all over the place so they switched to the kemper lol.
Do you get them early 90’s rammstein tones out of your Mesa ?
@@EM-km8em i think your right 😁
Yes I can get the old Rammstein sounds, but i usually use my Tech 21 psa1 to get the good old Rammstein tones 🙂
That sounds beautiful/brutal! Have you ever considered making kemper profiles? I would love to buy that sound you were getting for my kemper stage from you haha
but.. he does have some out.... at least i think i do have some
Oh dope! Well I want this amp profiled haha. I never see a video where he mentions kemper profiles are available, but he doesn’t seem like one to push money makers on his channel
mics used on the 2x12 cab ??
Yo Fluff did you make that amazing background music? Starting at 2:04
Can you do a review on the peavey valveking? With an overdrive too?? Pleeeeeaaassseeeeee ???????
What cab model used in this recording.
That bass chain though
This was the JCM800 of my generation
Hi Ryan, I found your channel quite interesting and subscribed since this is one of the very few out here on YT that provides some really objective reviews and tests of gear. Would you be kind, if by any chance you get your hands on some Engl amps, to make a comparison of the Powerball, Ironball, Fireball. I am using the Powerball II for recording my guitars together with Soldano SLO-100, but I am recently leaning heavily towards Engl and thus it would be awesome to hear them head by head. Greetings and keep up the good work! Bruno.
Today on roof spirits in gear 😂
this might not be the place to ask, but as anyone tried using a current Rectifier for their bass? both clean and distorted?
Super spongy!!
00:12 is hilarious!
that first tone was beyond phat.. gimme that damn amp
There's no dual rectifier sim that sounds so good like this, right?
which a cab??
How much did you get it fir
All sorts of fuck yeah, thank you Fluff.
Got my Mesa Dual for a few years now and I gotta say that I can't have any sound close to the main guitar of your first riff. Everything sounds bright, crisp, punchy and thight, while mine is muddy and dark. Would you mind give a few tips to achieve that HUGE tone ? (settings, boost, threatment in th daw, I guess there's a LPF, what's the slope/freq ?)
Thanks a lot, Fluff !
Probably pickups and EQ. Not to mention speakers.
Those would be the biggest effects on tone if you've got the same amp
Also a boost or overdrive.
Preparations A through G were a complete failure. But now, ladies and gentlemen, we finally have a working tractor beam, which we shall call... Preparation H!!
Gold member reference sweet .. I too "Love GOOOOOOLLLLDDDDD..."
Why not just call it preparation ass cream ya ass
I’m sorry, would you like some chocolate ice cream?
Yes. I’d love some chocolate ass cream
YappyCake on the whole, I think Preparation H feels good.
What Rev did Bugera steal? for there copy of the triple rec
I'd venture to guess that they probably used a Rev G, being the most common Dual Rec out there. Again, simply a guess.
I had one 2 year ago.. Traded for a 5150 Block Letter.. No regrets at all...
Heyy !! Can u do riview on MANTRA guitar .. made in Nepal!
I own the Rev D, F and G. The D is close to a Soldano SLO that I play too. The clean of the Rev D is shit. The lead is awesome. The F and the G are almost the same about the tone. The main thing here is the loop. I prefer the parallel loop for the Boss DM2-w delay (best for shred with a Rectifier) and a serial loop for the JHS PantherCub or the EHX DMM. The price of a Rev F transition in mint condition in Europe is around 2500/3000 euros. My Rev F are a Dual "Racktifier" with the chrome chassis and the blackplate made in 1992 and a Triple Rectifier black plate and chrome chassis too, but made in 1993. The serial number of your amp means it has been made in 1993.
What I'd like to hear from you now is the comparison with the Rev E blackplate you played a few years ago ! I never managed to find a Rev E... So ??????
Pretty SWEEET
Holy. Shit. That. Is. Some. Grind. !.
What about the triple recto, it seems like there is no one talking about it
