Oh ya that’s it. SD distortion pups into a Rectifier
My face has melted and I’ve started to sacrifice the goats to Lucifer
Hy Fluff, is there any chance you could tell me the knobs settings you used on the distortion channel ? I can't really tell from the video, and I'm really curious about that

I own number R-0425, a true Rev D. And this head sounds exactly the same the one we can listen into this video. Thx for sharing the reality ! Before getting this one, I had the opportunity to buy number R-0241 (a full black head, chassis and diamond plate) but one of the transformers has been changed in 2009. No way ! Mine is 100% original.
What you guyz have to know : the Rev D has a very poor clean channel. That's why Mesa changed the circuit board on a few of them. That's what Rectifier's addicts call the "clean mod". Basically, it's a Rev D changed in a Rev F.
I own a Triple Rev F made in 1993 and a Dual rackmounted Rev F made in 1992. Both with the chrome chassis and the black diamond plate. They sound more like the "classic" tone of the Rectifier. The ones you have to play if you need a serial FX loop. If you want something very fat, and a parallel FX loop, so you need the classic Rev G. I own 4 Rev G heads from 1995 and 1998. And they are my favorites. Because I play them with the Boss Dm-2w bucket brigade delay for shredding. This delay needs a mix knob on the loop. I own a 3 channels Rectifier Solo Head from 2008 too. Not bad, but nothing compare to the beasts from the 90's. And I own the Multiwatts atm in production (since 2010). Mine is from 2013. It is not the same amp at all. The tone is not the same, the EQ is not the same. This Multiwatts Recto is made for djent with 8 strings guitars, not for 80's old school thrash metal.
To my humble opinion, the best Rectifier ever is the Rev F. Something between the Rev D and the Rev G. In the late 1993, Mesa has produced what we call the "Transition Rectifier" : a Rev F with a parallel FX loop and the very new Rev G with the small logo on the front. I never played one of them. Leon Todd has one : ua-cam.com/users/kingcrimsonscourt
The Rectifier is known for its mid-scooped sound, but this particular iteration did away with that stereotype the second you started playing it. It’s got punchy midrange for days and is easily one of the best metal guitar tones I’ve ever heard. Use it well Fluff! You’ve got something very special there
Great choice of mics!
The 308 lookslike a tank ! Don't know much about the SR40V but the sound on this video is very nice.
What’s up Glen! I’d love to see a head-to-head shootout between an SM57 and that new Beyerdynamic TG i51 mic mic’ing up a cab... I love my SM57, and ordered one of those Fredman clips, and was going to purchase a 2nd SM57, but then the BD mic came out. Was wondering how they compare. Any thoughts? Thanks! 🤘🏼
@@TroyPosey where can you order those clips?
Dude this is probably the best rectifier I’ve ever heard. If Mesa reissued this Ide definitely buy one
yeah, me too!
Make that 3. I want a recto with mods and less bass
@@0megalul309 same
When playing by myself I always prefer other amps, but in a mix the rectifiers always shine.
This one is quite special.
That’s some gnarly tone. I love it.
That Hypochondria riff slaps so hard 🤘🏼
One of your best mix Mr Fluffy, damn !
I wanted one of these way back in the day. It was just too much. What a beauty.
As soon as I heard the intro song I was hooked, that's probably my favorite guitar tone I've heard in a while
Its a given we need a boogie battle right away . "Who will win? D vs F"
You want the F or the D ;-)
Or F with the D??
Vs Multi Watt.
Diezel Dmoll will win the war.....just go try one, you will see
I own both, D an F. No winner, depends what you want to do. And, shame on me... I prefer the Rev G witch is darker, fat and juicy. Depends what you want to do. But well, if you really want a winner, yeah the F is better than the D.
Legend amplifier cabinet!
Hell yeah! The whole world is crazy right now and I spiritually needed that. Bas ass equipment and bad ass playing man!
As soon as you started playing that clean sound I thought: Yep, that's how a Recifier sounds!
This amp is a beast ! Sounds so good !
This tune is a beast! The amp sounds killer as well!
that 1st riff!!! so digging it
The Dual Rectifier is the greatest amp ever made.
The first fluff notification I have gotten in the year of our lord 2020,THANKS UA-cam!
Also
.....
!!!!BEARDS!!!!
Great sounding Recto !!!!!
Always wanted a D or E. excited for the video. okayyyyy that's the best tone I've heard on this channel.
i love how people make a fuss about revisions of this that and the other. that's a sick clean tone brozy!
That's one crunchy sounding Recto!!
Beartooth has entered the chat. Sounds great!
You lucky bastard! I’m jealous!
Awesome video 👍
I bet the Rev D would SLAY for punk!
great tune to jam out as a demo!!!!
Now THAT is my kind of Rectifier. Sounds absolutely amazing.
Not that amazing......
Now a diezel dmoll, thats an amazing amp dude
@@michaelmitchell5909 Dis my kinda tone my friend. Not that I'd pay what you'd need to pay to get a Recto of this vintage.
Such great riffs
Thanks for the review. I have an old Rev D Rectifier. Chrome face plate....hard to seen the writing on my face plate. ha. rock on.
I love the characteristic of this amp.
Flat low end and Boosted mids, exactly what Im looking for in an amp.
That sounds awesome!
Tuned up? GUHHH... that gives me anxiety. 2 out of 5 goatees.
1992 was a good year!
My buddy had one of those. Heck he sold his a while back that might be it. It sure as hell sounds like it. I played with him for years and that's the mesa tone i grew up with.
I'm having early RB&G flashbacks with that tone and the tune. I think Rectos give you some sort of energy that other amps don't.
Their techs ROCK! I sent a series 1 road king and they went through it, tested, cleaned and got it going again. They were quick with it as well. Shipping was expensive though for as heavy as it is. Other than that it was a great job!
I have an M6 Carbine bass head that went dead while on warranty. I paid to ship it, and not only did they fix it, they upgraded it with a fan and some other parts. Essentially got a brand new amp. I already loved my Mesa amp, but that solidified my love for the company.
@@inglouriouswoof yeah, they checked mine for updates as well but it was already good. I guess the previous owner was on top of his game. Thats great though! Glad it worked out for you!
It actually sounds like a flat tire to me... 😄 Great job.
Bro sounds amazing ! Now we are talking
I would love to see a big ol rectifier comparison and maybe throw in a Soldano SLO 100 for the meme.
gotta get a mid 2000s three channel and a multiwat
Definitely throw in Diezel Herbert mk 1 ! It’s the head !
@@jsullivan2112 dude I read comment wrong earlier ignore my comment. Lol
@@jsullivan2112 lol I wonder if there one yet
Ooooh the controversy!
Mike Bendenelli is The Man!🤘🏻
Rock sounding
Sound amazing
Almost sounds like an EVH 5153 blue channel with a Tube Screamer in front of it.
I really dig it.
This is the version Holdsworth got his best lead sound with. Been looking for a Kemper profile using his settings for aeons.
That sounds awesome
thanks for the vid fluff
Sounds great
Ok so that guitar with the Duncan through this amp is an amazing combo.
I own many Revs of the Rectifier : the best pickup I've found is the Seymour Duncan TB14 on a mahogany body and maple neck guitar. Amazing combo.
The new Badlander rectos are the best of old+newer rectos
LOL WHAT OWNED 30...Me I hope I can get one in my lifetime..im older than you Fluff..Sounds killer
Sounds great! I wonder what the bill would be for that maintenance from Mesa Boogie 🤔
love this amp
Nice. I just picked up a mid-90s Dual Rectifier Trem-o-Verb for $925 CAD ($700 USD) up here in BC. It sounds amazing and is in great condition. Pretty sure it's never been out of this guy's home studio. It sounds pretty clean, but gets a slight hum with the reverb tank on. I'm going to throw new tubes in soon and will get it serviced in the New Year. I would love to send it to Mesa, but shipping from Canada would be ridiculous.
I just bought one of those a couple of months ago. It took a while to dial in but I love it!
I have one and it’s my favorite amps ever!
@@mikekashouty516 Same here, but now I'm getting used to it. When I read the recommended settings in the manual I was like, so you want me to dial the mid out completely for pretty much all styles... OK. Why even give me a mid knob?
Me too. I'm finding it so versatile. It's essentially a Rev G at heart, as I understand it, but there's just something extra going on, apart from the obvious (Blue, trem, and verb).
What a steal...did u steal it? :P
i have a dual rectifier head with cab the version just before the multi watt rectifier and I never changed because its loud and versatile as fuck. Truly the best amp I ever played
Reza is 100% correct. Back in the day, every once in a while you'd get a good recto that didn't need much help...but yes the bottom end of most rectos old and new is a flat tire, flubby mess. Or you'd have to crank the presence and take your head off to help attenuate and tighten some low end. Or it would sound like a blanket over the cab if you pulled the spikey highs out. It was always so f***ing difficult to get a happy medium, usable tone. That green rhino isn't just boosting, adding bite. It's tightening up the low end which we all know was industry standard for making a recto usable in a studio mix or live to clean up the bottom end. Either way, it sounds great in this video for sure. Fluff's got a great ear. Cheers.
Damn.. that thing sounds epic!!!
🤘🏻🇦🇺🤘🏻
Was the Clean channel set to regular or "Orange to Modern"? Usually, I do exactly that with my Rev F Triple. Drastically increases the clean headroom, clarity and volume of the orange clean mode.
I own Dual Rectifier R0305. I'm in Austria. It's 100% original and sounds very close to yours.
Hey Fluff, I love this! I don't suppose you could capture this using your quad cortex and put it on the cortex cloud?! Thanks man!
why is the dual so much more popular than the triple? i own a dual, my friend has a triple (early 2000's) and to my ear his triple sounds more rich, more tight and more of what i like about tube amps. MORE GLASS!
In my experience, the Triples are not as popular because 150 watts just isn't practical these days. In your case, since you like that "glassy" sound, then maybe you do prefer the 150 watts for its higher headroom on the clean channel. The other factor is that Boogies break a lot, and the more knobs and bells and whistles they are, the higher their maintenance costs are. I only say that because I've worked at a music store for 15 years, and the number of Boogie amps that come through the door for repair, in relation to say Marshall is quite is kind of shocking. The argument could be made that more people use Boogie stuff in my area, so there are more to be fixed, but most amp techs that I know all say that modern Boogies are not built that well. That being said, I've never had a technical issue with any Boogie product I've owned...and I have owned and do own a lot of them. haha.
@@patrickfouhy9102 are you an amp tech?
@@jasonkilner9332 oh heck no, haha. But being in the amp/guitar sales business for as long as I have, I've chatted with the amp techs who I've worked with over the years. I am just one person, with my own experiences, and I've had quite a few conversations about Boogies over the years with them, because I am such a Boogie fan boy.
@@patrickfouhy9102 I ask because I'm curious about the relationship between the number of preamp tubes and number power amp tubes. It seems that the higher watt amp (more power amp tubes) also always has additional preamp tubes. It's not clean headroom I like, it's the distortion that I seem to like more on higher watt tube amps. So maybe it's just the saturation in the preamp that I enjoy more?
@@jasonkilner9332 When it comes to the Recto series, there are so many seemingly useless switches that can change the sound, the Triple and Dual share a majority of these switches. Their preamp sections are relatively the same. 5 preamps tubes, all controlling the same aspects of the sound. Their only difference is the number of power tubes, and wattage. You may have played one with the with different diod settings, or with the rectifier tubes engaged or diengaged, those both make pretty dramatic changes to the tone that many players don't use. Or speakers in the cab. Or if the amp/cab had a mismatch in ohms, also changes the sound.
But when it comes to the distorted tone between the two, if all the settings are the same, they should basically sound the same same. That is, if they are from the same era. If they aren't, then they'll have a bit different flavor.
i like this.... i like this a lot!
Wow Fluff, excellent acquisition for the amp collection! This bad bitch sounds like it should be more from the Mark Series than a dual rec. I know what’s going on my list of must haves.
Where does the new Rec fit in? Heck, with the LOVE the Pre Rev G's get, why doesn't MESA give us those?!
This is the illusive tone I've had in my head for years... *le sigh* time to save the pennys.
Pre 500 Rev. D, YES
It sounds sooooooooo much like Jerry Cantrell's guitar tone on the Dirt album. So great!
I like the clean on the badlander better but love the distortion on this.
It sounds like an extreme version of a fender amp. I feel the Mark lineage in it still.
Hi Fluff, it's great that you're so passionate about mesa rectifiers. I'm too. I own a 96 dual rec revG. I'd like to know you're opinion about that version
Hi Fluff. I own a mesa dual rev G. I got a question. What's the use of the patch cable in the send and return section on the back of the head? Does it buffer? Does it increase the amount of volume and gain choosing how Much volume you want from the pre amp section?
Great amp
Would love to see a comparison between this and the Badlander
Sounds great. Curious... were do you set the hi and low filters...
Excellent sounding Rev D! What do you think of the new Mesa Badlander Rectifier head?
Hy Fluff, is there any chance you could tell me the knobs settings you used on the distortion channel ? I can't really tell from the video, and I'm really curious about that
How the heck do you get such smooth attack on your guitars? Do you pick hard, or soft? What's the secret?
Rev F is still the way to go
Lol here I am and am pretty sure I’ve never seen a Rectifier up close
DAMN SON!
Look at the new recto! The bandlander is way more massive.
I own a dual rec 100 watt solo head from early 2000's....it has a huge channel popping issue when switching to channel 2 and between the 3 switch settings....was this a problem you've seen and it is easily fixed....by easy I mean cheap!...ive read this was a common problem and the guy I bought it from said it did this from the time it was unboxed ......I wouldn't have bought it knowing this
I remember this amp ! Is it this version which « plop » when changing channel 😅?
Hypochondria sounds so sick through this amp
I see what you did there, nice
Hey fluff, if you owned a mint condition fryette deliverance 120 mki, would you trade it for a dual rec? I need guidance!!! Lol
I need help. I have a choice between the Mesa boogie dual Rec or the ENGL fireball 100. 😎🎸🍺🍺
Wow 😲
after hearing this, you gotta plug that delonge strat back in. this video makes me feel like the Enema of the State tone used a Rev D hmmmm
I'm wondering why some episodes have this more interesting intro sound and some have the regular one. Otherwise, a nice sounding amp.
i have nr 293! :D
sold my rev d beginning of the year
I have a rented a similar model with possibility to buy it....but in my opinion is too weak for solo lead, could be the valve?
Have you ever owned a Trem-O-Verb??? I have one and it’s one of my favorite amps that I’ve ever played
Yes, I owned one and FOOLISHLY sold it about 10 years ago to buy a Roadster head. Incredible amp.
I don’t know much about Recs but... LDRs in an amp? Does it have compression built in or something?
They're basically used as switches/relays. Mesa used them all throughout the 80s/90s. Not sure why though, because it was changed as soon as the 3ch rectos arrived.
@@clipfishcarsten nice, thanks!
Hey Brother the regular two channel dual rects with big Mesa logo instead of the vintage tiny logo what version do those tend to be ?
Rev G
@@Stahlengelmusic Thank you! I have one but seems like it needs servicing because tone knows make feedback when eqing. And the vintage/clean switch only works in clean when it wants to.
Should i keep it stock or make any kind of mod to it to get that rev F sound i love?
Im in Cali
@@24MusicCarats I don‘t have a Rev G but have a voodoo amp modded rev f.
I bought it modded from Richard Z Kruspe Rammstein but still wanz to know how the Rev F unmodded would sound like. Did you have a pedal in front of your amp?
Sounds like the guitar tone from Coolboarders 2.
so which rev is your amped roots model ?
oh holy shit my heart
Any idea If badlander would be closer to this rev or the early rectos in general?
Wanna know too. Except the Badlander has multi-watt options, and a Cab Clone built-in.
I wonder too. The transformers on the early Rectifiers are no more in production for decades... so I guess it will not be close to a Rev D. Today peoples want tight low end. In the 90's we wanted it fat and juicy. So I beg the Badlander is a kind of Multiwatts Rectifier with the cab clone inside. Not a 2 channels amp from the 90's. The market is not asking for a real reborn Rev C, D, E, F or G Rectifier.
