FS: Mesa Triple Rectifier - 3 Channel head SOLD

What's Hot

Bought to familiarise myself with the later Rectos. Its a great amp and very flexible. It has a clean channel that remains clean even if the other two channels are set to Modern high gain mode, unlike on the 2 channel version. The front panel mode switches and Solo boost are very nice, as is the RAW mode for channel 2 & 3 and Pushed mode for channel 1.

  • 3 channels, 150w (loud cleans!)
  • Foot-switchable, channel-definable FX loop
  • Separate Solo boost control
  • Mesa footswitch, but also has 4 tip-sleeve 1/4 inch jacks for 3rd party switching (eg a midi footswitch/looper/switcher)
  • Spongy/Bold variac switch
  • Solid State or Tube rectification

Rectos are not just high-gain amps - though they definitely defined that sound. Vintage and Raw modes produce amazing blues and Marshally rock tones too. Its a very versatile head and greatly under appreciated outside heavy guitar genres. Three channel Rectos have reduced fizz at lower volumes, something that people sometimes complained about with the 2 channel heads. 

As I have a 2 channel Recto already and don't use cleans live this is now surplus to requirements.

It's in very good condition, and comes with the 5 button Mesa footswitch. Will post pics soon.

NB. A Triple is not 'too loud' compared to a Dual. 150W is not 50% louder than a 100W and at lower volumes you won't notice the difference. What it will do it give you extra headroom on cleans and a bit more dynamics on rhythm when playing the amp live. If you go from clean to heavy rhythm during your set then a Triple can be a very good idea and beats carting two different amps arround. Some good info on watts vs loudness by Bruce Egnater HERE

SOLD £795
