All user reviews for the Mesa Boogie Rect-O-Verb Head

Same thing as the single-sided but with a reverb, a rglage per channel on or off via the footswitch.

fewer options rglage connection and that the dual-sided (no tube rectifiers)

UTILIZATION

Like all front, it is not empty her to find her, because all the knobs Intrag them (eg by changing the treble, mids are modified).

Nanmoins even when it's a great base with SETTING THE (all afternoon), is spending a few hours to really find the ITS.

Too bad the modes are not DIFFERENT foot switchable.

Good sound volume low

SOUNDS

Unlike what you may believe, in the front can provide a lot of music styles, so it possde some versatility, but beware, there is still the signature sound of the front, which can recognize 1000 km. We like it or not, personally I love it.
The sound is warm, rich, full, rich, excellent solos in saturated or not saturated with the DIFFERENT ways (raw, vintage, modern, at least saturated and compress to compress more or less saturated .
You can play blues, rock, metal, death of trash, neo ...
At the bottom of saturation, it may seem a bit messy and runny, just reduce the gain, rgler it right and it fits, but its face is this: a fat, drooling a little , warm.

The sound is clear trs medium, flat, straight, I sold mine because of it.

The reverb is not great and sounds like a machine lav I find, so preferences move towards single-sided at all.

OVERALL OPINION

I got it for 8 months, the APRS trying qqun in 10 minutes. An amp like this does not identifies 10 minutes, it takes several hours for an ide of possibility. If the clear sound n'tait not so ugly (but nanmoins trs utlise even when a non-amateur clean) would be the ultimate amp.

I have not tried other ampis the era, but now between Isaiah j'hsite something else or buy a dual-sided, certainly more expensive but more possdant possibility.

For mtalleux seeking only the big sound is the MODEL privilgier.
For those who want a little more versatility, taking plutt a dual recto.

Ha yes the price quality ratio is not great, buy plutt of OCCAZ or on the Internet

Good lamp in mesa!
Everything has already been said about the characteristics of these amps ...

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use! It sounds in every case!

SOUNDS

The sound is really crazy ..... in clear sound with distortion (and all that there are between) c is madness!
j used this head with a 1960 (for me a true baffle the crap ...) and ca sounded despite the invalidity of the cabinet! the guitars are for qqqchose: esp Kirk Hammett (active pickups emg 81), Gibson Les Paul Custom, Ibanez Universe Custom (Seymour HS6 and sh2)
important point for me, the two-channel models of the range correction are really much better than the three-channel models ... It s the acting head of the single, then necessarily c two channels. J had the range correction, and the head was my favorite (with a triple but was much, much too powerful)
Oh one last thing if the reverb, I find it beautiful! It is very typical of c is, c is in addition to having a digital reverb, but frankly, I find that it sounds great with clear sound, c of the ball!

OVERALL OPINION

J've used this amp for 2 years, but it must be 6 years that I play the correct amps, in fact, I have also had the dual and triple heads, and the combo.
I finally stayed on the combo that makes less noise for my neighbors ... and as I did more than repeat or live ...
In any case, I have much preferred this to the dual head that sounded much less (ct Model 3 channels), which had crappy components (plastic knobs 2 balls not solid at all), which was mostly too fragile.
j I really regret to have sold the single to dual ...
J had a triple for two weeks (I was the prettée was waiting for my dual is repaired because it was often the repair head ....) j've found the right sound from the single (two-channel model) Obviously with a lot more power!
in all cases, c is an amplifier of madness is nothing to complain (except for a three-channel models made recently with an economic policy from mesa which is unacceptable). j currently have the combo, I am very very happy, the sound is really perfect, except when I pushed a little too (because I start to do the rehearsals and recordings, he will have to be can I pass on a head but with the cabinet mesa that blow it!)

Lamp apellation correct but usurped!! because there is no lamp grinder (comercial ploy to sell better!)

50Watts

UTILIZATION

Simple configuration setting changes at all but the very
the clean sound is the sound awful when they are saturated masi Degel interesting in the low even by setting them corectment

SOUNDS

I played with for 2 years with a huge sell it badly !!!!!
aus tyle music so it could corespondre but good when it does not crash the front ... the same word or series that are 50 watts correct a lie publiciataire relatively often falls down! and not just mine all those I know who have had this head had at least one problem in the time it took!
For me it was the master button knob whose track was dead ... then you tell me there's the change! yes, except that this button is not a knob like the other and asking the importer and must attednres bin for months and months to get one!!
Once the problem is arranged so that trasfo Crame ... this amp is a real DUMP! and if I support my opinion as it's just because I'm not the only one to complain!!

cleans the sounds are awful! and saturated sound a bit better! even if it is unable to correct its true!
the true correction begins with its dual and triple models! but especially not single!

to have had no correction with the famous TREoVERB Dual Rectifier solo and with his two relatively similar saturése! well I can attest that the single correct it rectoverbe Series 1 or Series 2 is the series of amps from Mesa deserving more jeutter be in the trash!

OVERALL OPINION

With no experience surment!

Lamp
50 watts vritables
2 caneaux (clean, crunch) (raw, vintage, modern) + a rverbe
footswitch (channel, solo, reverb)
the standard single-sided + reverb makes

UTILIZATION

Rglages handling and use simple for me!
plutt or the sounds (all middle) without problem, the real sound (for me!)
the manual is not bad at all (for once), but hey we can do without

SOUNDS

Crystalline sound, feed, gain, what consistency! beautiful sounds, used recently with US Deluxe Stratocaster, or branch of msa 2XV30 4XV30, be my style of music (BluesRock, Hard, jazzrock)

The two channels are great, sound palette (not yet had time to do much testing)
ample of any obviousness, no need to look 24:14 hours.

OVERALL OPINION

I tried the normal single-sided, have found it great! but it's a more open my ears. + Reverb is nice as hell. Believe that the amps are not all alike?!
j'apprcie the freedom of his! I not understand the criticism ngatives, but hey it is the taste of all of us biensr! I possd other amps, I also love that a ditto Orange, well this Recto Lock it in my heart ct tops!
The price (I pay 1769 Euros) is expensive, but all that stuff l!
I found the what I was looking with this amp.

Everything has been said above,
very versatile with choice of lamps amplification: EL34 or 6L6

UTILIZATION

-Configuration simple in theory: 2 channels, 5 modes, 3-Band EQ, presence, gain, master and reverb per channel. With all that was not enough of a lifetime to explore all combinations of sounds (the equalizer varies the sound impressively)
-It sounds at once monstrously good!

SOUNDS

- Suitable for all styles, from blues to hard rock extreme!
- I play with my Gibson Les Paul Custom or my Flying without using any effects except the reverb of the amp. Sound:
-Clean: Crystal clear, clean, clear
-Crunch: bluesy, in the same style that a tube screamer
-Raw: it is a crunch prompted, in charge of harmonics, very raw
-Vintage (my favorite!) Round, warm, perfect for solo to santana!
-Modern: violent! it gains in power, monstrous distortion of high quality (extremely accurate, no snoring), it is the sound Correct!

OVERALL OPINION

I've had it for 5 years and she never gave me any trouble! high-end
-Reverb is very good and colors the sound of the amp so perfect especially for cleans and the overdrive solos (I do not use it for the modern mode)
It value for money is very good even if it is expensive (like all high-end amps)

-All-tube amp head.
-50 Watts
2x6L6 2xEL34-or, depending on your preference.
-2 Channels:
-> 1: Clean / Crunch
-> 2nd: Raw / Vintage / Modern
-> A master, reverb, presence, gain an independent channel.
-> 3-band EQ: bass, mid, treble, too independent.
-A footswitch: channel change / Reverb / Solo (adds power to pass over the other instruments)

UTILIZATION

At first glance, it looks like an amp plug & play, but it is not the case at all.
The 3-band EQ is very versatile. You turn one of three knobs and all your sound changes. We must spend several hours to find his sound. But when it's really a very big sound.
-Manual in English, rather clear. But little use.

SOUNDS

-I bought it to play metal / hardcore, and I must say that after a good set that shipments puree.
-I play a PRS Singlecut it with SE (middle range) and it sounds pretty good. It's quite fat and warm.
-The amp is very versatile, the clean is good enough I find (with a small delay is the top), the crunch also. Where it gets interesting is on channel 2, the Vintage mode gives you a very warm sound of the 80s. The channel that I use almost all modern time, is truly excellent: modern distortion, with the grain mesa (we like it or not).

OVERALL OPINION

"I use this amp for 6 months and I'm not disappointed. The all-tube 50 Watts more than enough, I'm barely half the volume in rehearsal. I use this head with a Mesa 2x12 Rectifier: his cabinet.
-What I like most is certainly a big sound on channel 2: Modern.
-The average value for money is all the same. On one side was a very good amp, another € 1,800 on average (I paid € 1664) is quite expensive, and I think we're paying 10% for the brand.
-I think with experience I would do this choice. I'm not disappointed.

Head tube amp.
50 watts.
One floor of reverb and more from the head Single Rectifier Solo Head 50.
Comes with protective cover for the head, a footswitch (Channel 1 / 2, reverb, solo) and his little protective cover and power cable.

For all that is technical, connectivity, control, everything is detailed in the previous opinions.

UTILIZATION

Here's the important point that I want to dwell.
At the first use with the footswitch connected to the channel change, from the clean channel to channel saturation, I notice a little latency (or delay) before the sound reaches the saturated channel. In fact, it occurs exactly a nice "fade in" somehow melted or ascending volume.
Same problem to return the canal saturated clean channel!

Problem was I saying? Well yes, for me anyway, big problem!
So as I said is a "very nice" fade in, yes, but not very practical to use as I do, ie to have the sound of my clean channel is saturated or, at the precise moment I press my switch or not, what standard?
So I try everything:
- Press harder on the footswitch
- Support faster and faster withdraw my foot
- Press gently in the hand ...
- Try other footswitch, in Jack, not pins as that provided by Mesa Boogie.
... And there is no solution, still the same problem.

I'll see on the forums and there ... Yes indeed it is a problem encountered by other users of this head ... disappointment ...

Head off again, after discussion with the customer service telephone company ...... distribution which shall remain nameless, everyone knows. For them, it's how Mesa expertise, so there is no "PLOP" who get along when you press the footswitch to change channels.

Upon receipt of the head for them there is no problem ... they are testing me by phone, but ... it's hard to realize, as you can imagine. Except that it still offers me to remove a component that is causing this delay time ... uh ... yes then there is something good then? ... It's the world to to ...

Back of my head yesterday ... More problem of delay time ... and no "PLOP" even at high volume.

I hope this review will allow the user to always have this problem can be remedied quickly!
And then it would be essential that the distributor and the brand Mesa make an effort to communicate on this kind of detail that might interest the prospective buyer!



SOUNDS

For sound, nothing to say, I find it very effective, with respect for the original sound of your guitar, whatever your guitar.
I try on Gibson, Fender, Gretsch, Vigier, Godin, Yamaha ... Everything sounds. EQ settings are very sharp, very interesting to sculpt the sound as we want to hear.
I use a cabinet with 2x12 "Mesa Boogie from home.


OVERALL OPINION

I will use now provided live! I come to you for more details!

Everything has already been said.
50 watt tube amp: 2 channels, 5 modes and reverb.


UTILIZATION

Having had a JCM 900 head and Screamer 50 where there is not much knob, it changed me much less than there ale as a Roadster, for example.
So in all cases was sound, but the knobs are the most important gain and trebble that "change" quite sound.
Otherwise it is fairly simple, at least for me, because I like amps with a lot of possibilities.
The manual is very comprehensive (in French please) but as mentioned below can do without.

SOUNDS

It is what I was looking for, ie a versatile amp with the "modes" for each channel and with gain to spare. I play Hard Rock, Metal, Blues and this head gives me all these possibilities of sounds.
I use it with:
-Cabinet Peavey 412JS
Thierry N4-Cachera Replica (guitar luthier custom copy Washburn N4) mounted in SH-6 Distortion (bridge), HS-1 59 '(neck).
Tanglewood tomkat-mounted in SH-4 (bridge) and the original neck pickup.
Maxon-OD9
Enter the heart of the matter, ie the sound. So in terms of channel 1 where it has the clean and crunch, if I compare it to what I had before, well it repackages the JCM 900 and the Screamer.
The sound-clean (1st mode) goes from hot to round slamming well crystalline (by adding reverb is what I hear) it lacks a chorus and it has a sound type 80's.
The Crunch-(2nd mode) is going from clean to crunch lightly in attacking the strings well bluesy crunch to make small jam in the SRV.

Channel 2 (what I use most), like it repackages the other two heads that I had. It was here the modes Raw, Vintage and Modern.
-The Raw (1st mode) is a crunch that will Creedence Led Zep, it adapts especially well as a rhythmic type ACDC.
-The Vintage (2nd mode) is a distortion round, a little fat, but relatively mild. It looks like the distortion of an AC30 or JMP. Boosted with a good overdrive as Maxon as I found her a Hard FM 80's and it farts!
-The Modern (3rd mode), then it sends is severe! I was much surprised when I tried it in the store than it t be more than that in the PANCHE ... But once home, pffff, la la la la big slap! In fact, we do try to not realize what he has to offer this little toy. But once we stop the madness is over, I had tears in my eyes ... seriously It sends heavy, Dream Theater, Jorn, Pagan's Mind in pieces over the nags ... The must boosted by maxon is there was Killswitch Engage and All That Remains débraquent that at home. Hallucinating too!

on the other hand attention with the bass, because it quickly if we drool over the 13h or 12h. Compare this with the Engl that I had, the distortion on the Screamer was cold enough (perhaps because it is very straight and (too?) Said ..?).

OVERALL OPINION

I've had it yesterday but I spent hours and hours over the hack in every sense and it will continue for long.
I like that spend time on an amp to see all the possibilities it offers us what I like its versatility!
I had other head: Marshall JCM 900 (good amp as the first lights) Engl Screamer 50 (limited but good amp for my taste and too loud). My father was a Marshall JMP and Jet City 20. Okay and my VHT UltraLead a ... So I knew what I was looking like his.
At value for money, well MESA MESA is good and it's expensive but I bought it for OCCAZ 'so that was for me. The quality is there and there, the fintion is perfect. Since quite a year I dream of owning a mesa, the dream has come true so yes I would do this choice!
