@metalpride15 Honestly, I think either amp would suit you fine. Both are professional grade. I don't know the price point of the Peavey's, but I would assume it would be slightly less expensive initially. For a touring musician who doesnt want or need a huge rack/pedal setup I'd probably go with the Peavey. For recording, I would give the edge to the Mesa, as you have more tone options.
I love my Triple Rec. Though, I'm not a big fan of the scooped mid chunka chunka tone much these days. Thankfully, The Triple Rec is a do everything pretty darn good amp. I used to play a Fender Hot Rod with Blues Driver in a country band. The Triple Rec would have done that perfectly. I run all my knobs pretty much straight up.
@atheistmayora Mesa amps are difficult to dial in. Most people make them sound overly harsh and with too much presence/high end. Listen to my demo. That's how a rectifier sounds when it is dialed in correctly;)
@glpainterwindstream All tube amps do that until you step away from them, especially with active pick-ups. It happens with my Peavey - you're not meant to be that close to them.
I thinking of upgrading to a better amp head. I'm gonna use a mesa cab but Im divided between getting a rectifier or a Peavey 6505/5150+. I know that the Peavey is tighter and more clarity with gain and that the rectifier is better toned and warmer when saturated. However I have heard that mesa's lose a lot of clarity when turned up all the way and that although the peavey is not nearly as good as a recto it holds up better at high volumes and is much cheaper. Can U give me your opinion on it?
@megametalmaestro - Yeah, the volume/clarity thing really is a pointless argument as basically half-way up is retarded loud. Push the tubes harder without changing gain or treb etc. your gonna start getting microphonic squeel sounds out of the tubes. So your settings loud should be diff than your settings at room volumes. Nice thing about playing loud is you will start to get power tube distortion and a little speaker distortion so you need less gain. but for cheap get 5150, nice amps
@megametalmaestro to tell the truth i have been playing guitar for about 10 years and 6 months and when my band started to get serius i started thinking about new better gear i immediatly got the esp ltd h1001 deluxe then i moved on to my rig and this was the hard part the cab was an easy choice marshall 1960 a cab , but when it came to finding a head that could get the tone and clarity at high volume i found that between a triple rec, 5150 and a framus cobra. after playing them i went framus
@megametalmaestro Hey I'm getting a 6505+ 112 and it sounds killer when i tried it at the music store (buying it tommorow), I say try both because ive never played a rec before but I say for the record get a peavey 6505+!!!! Happy Thanksgiving too :)
@megametalmaestro my friend brought his dual over and put it on my trace elliot 4 12 cab it had75 celestions on it and 100ft away it was the clearist sounding amp ive ever heard no matterhow loudwe turned it up it sounded clear even with the gain all the way up if u put a beast like a mesa on low watt speakers it will kill em and ull think its the amp sound but its not
@megametalmaestro I say get the new Bugera Tri Rec ($750 new) that just came out its a Mesa Boogie thats affordable or get the B-52 At-100 that is also replicated after the Triple Rect but youd have to get the B-52 used ($350-500) because it was discontinued, (dont get the Atx-100 it is modeled after the Marshall Jcm800)
@andtrue1307. Clearly you are self smarted. I dont believe that you used a very good analogy as once deposited, said piece of shit would not make any noise. At no point did you discuss any pertinent issues such as tone, playing style, or gear. You are a reprehensible human bieng and we are all stupider for having read your comment.
@Hjefv dude i have no idea how anyone thumbed your comment up, not trying to be a dick but if you are going to try to insult someone you should at least be able to spell. Seriously man "self smarted" and "stupider"? Any kid in elementary school could tell you that's horribly wrong. /rant off
@Pointless88 And you should use two spaces after periods and failed to do so! HAR-HAR!! Im not trying to be a dick either, but if I was a dick I would be in your mouth. Thank you.
@doktorlindblood In response to your comment, I visited your page and I actually do like pelican, however, was disappointed that you dont have any videos of you playing or doing anything that I could tell. Anyways#1 comment is just plain stupid. #2 comment response is I dont need to as ...#3 ....I could buy a single channel 50 watt tube amp but why when I already have simulclass boogie amps?
@doktorlindblood you sound really dumb haha...clean sounds are the shit...a 1 channel 50 watt tube amp? why? you can do way more with this amp and its all tube and 150 watts you idiot..and it probably has a 50 watt switch..dork.
HELP! i am a guitarist looking for a new amp.i like the sound on the video, but can you get the triple rectifier to sound that way without the compressor?which amp would you recommend- randall rm100kh or the mesa boogie triple rectifier?
@kernerdenis I havent had the opportunity to play any of the newer randalls, or the newer gen of rectifiers for that matter!! Buying an amp can be pretty frustrating, they are very expensive and typically the guys at music stores dont want you to play them cranked for very long. Also, Mesa's are kind of known for bieng picky/difficult to dial sounds in and I somewhat agree. The best advice I can give is stick with a name brand tube amp, and demo it if at all possible before you purchase./
Hey man, I have a krankenstein amp but I see Mesa triple rectifier all over the place with professional bands. Knowing that you own both, what's your personal opinion between the two and which is your favorite and why?
Honestly, I like them both. You get an extra channel with the Rectifier, but I only use one clean /one distorted anyway. I think the crank cabs are better and I like the Texas Heats. Tonewise, same type of thing. I think the krank has a little more modern sound, mesa a little darker sounding. Tonesnobs will allways find a reason to diss on yer gear, but ultimately all that matters is if you like it.
i now regret buying an ENGL Powerball. well im saying that now, once i get my vader cab, i will see which is better. i always wanted a rectifier :I idk why i went and got the ENGL
this sound is straight from your head and cab.. or theres any pedal...effect or whatever... if its come directly from the head, can u tell me your setting.. i want it sooo bad.. pls, btw gr8 vid
effects loop on the older three channels is more for time based effects, basically delay:) I like the rectifier series for the oomphf, but many people feel they can lack tightness, which i feel is somewhat true. They are a darker sounding amp, which isnt always a good thing, I now run a Mark V with the triple to round out the sound more. But, they do have a newer model out, check it out and let us know what you think.
Hey man, i am planning on purchasing an amplifier(not for a while but im doin my research early) and I play ALOT of metal, from Standard to Heavy to Black to Death to jus the most brutal stuff possible. I am looking for a good tube amp to give me the missing crunch and heavyness of my guitar I am looking for. Is this a really good amp for these kinds of music?
Also I have my own stompboxes like graphic EQ's and overdrives, will these work nicely in the FX loop/straight into the amp?
@jaki54321 check out the framus cobra. dual/triple recs are standard in metal, so you won't go wrong with them. I've got a cobra though and they are insane.
Could someone please enlighten me as to why you would need a triple rec. vs. a single or dual rectifier? I mean, 150 watts, that's FUCKING LOUD. Unless you are playing a huge venue, it seems like you will never be able to push your amp to the limit, which IMO is where a recto really shines.
What's your master volume at in this vid? 4? lol. But really awesome setup man, that guitar is fucking killer as well.
man if i played in someones living room i would crank this mother fucker as loud as i could without blowing them tubes. that way you get a little brain massage
Ive played triple rectifiers and can never get a good distorted tone out of em? they seem like they lack gain. or is there some 'switch' i didnt turn on cus that amp is full of damn switches and shit. How do bands like cannibal corpse and suicide silence do it?
i don't use distortion pedals, i personally think if your amp needs a distortion pedal, it's not a good amp. i've used modulation pedals and shit, but i don't actually own any.
I didnt mean full distortion preamp boxes. An Overdrive Pedal That uses the amp distortion but boost your guitars signal to get even more gain out of it. I have a Krank Krankenstein and its amazing
yeah, on this vid I ran it through a compressor and a volume boost before going straight into amp, for metallica though its easier to get there tone with a mark series. My current favorite setup is running mark v to top cab and triple rec to bottom cab, both through my rack, little bit of compression and sometimes noise gate, for recording though I usually run the noise gate and the compressor on the microphone instead of amp/gtr.
Hi Hjefv, I own the same amp but your tone is just badass, it's perfect. If you want I'd like you to help me with that... I know you use DBX 166 XL, but I wanted to know how good it was as a noise gate? I mean, on the video it seems like you have NO feedback at all and you're sitting next to your amp, so I'm wondering: are you running your amp half power? or more?
Also, what do you use a volume boost for that distortion without leaking(whistling)?
I will change my settings day to day, depending on room, or guitar im usingbut generally...excellent as noise gate, w/ the 166 you can actually add or decrease signal gain, I normally will add a little bit here
as to no feedback, my volumes rolled off on guitar until I start to play, plus using emg 81=nothing to feedback. Not running at reduced power in the sense of no removed tubes or anything like that. and for volume boost I like a metalzone w/ the gain almost on zero, solos sometimes a boss super overdrive.-let me know if you got any more questions -hjefv
i have EMG's on my guitar and i play through a marshall with Boss's Metalcore pedal and i can go 3 inches away from my amp with volume at half and not get anything, it depends on the amp settings and equipment you use
you favoreted a wes borland video on your page.HA HA HA!!! Thats the funniest thing ever!! I mean here's the thing, You got this guy, in this case you, and he's looking up WES BORLAND videos. I predict that you have a cat, like cock, and if it's not in your mouth it's on your mind. Seriously, you made my day, thats the funniest shit ever.
For a Lamb of God tone buy a Mesa Boogie Mark IV and either a Will Adler signature ESP or the signature Mark Morton Dominion. Or any Jackson or ESP guitar with active JB/59s
no not any jackson or esp. Any mahogany guitar. Must be made out of mahogany for that warmth and beef. An alder guitar can do LoG, but mahogany will do much better.
sure 57 and also a cheap off-brand that kinda looks like a 58 that sounds pretty good to me. I like to use a lot of gain so I run my noise gate after my mics to not squash the tone but still get rid of the hum.
to be honest ive never played a mark iv , so I cant compare the two. I do really the variety of tones you can get out of it though. I play with the triple going to bottom cab and it covers the low end and then i have the mark v going to my top cab with a more up front gain setting. the two together blend really nice
sorry dude, but my main hobbies are music & BJJ, and i wear clothes related to both.. it makes me rage seeing every 18-30 year old wearing tapout clothing, but I actually put the hard work into training and competing.
I've got the same guitar is your whole body quilted? love esp and mesa keep rocking man

what i want to know:
what tubes do you use? and what kind of settings do you use at the back of your mesa.
i mean this switcher between bold and spongy and silicon diodes or vacuum tubes.

and do you use the master volume? which means to activate the "loop on" function at the back.
and are you only using the dbx 166xl in this video or something else too. like a distortion pedal or something. or is the sound "only" recitfier?
you´re sound is so awesome thight and clear.
hope to get kind of a similar sound someday ;)

that tone is heavy as hell, did you run any pedals through it?? im considering buying one.
skatallica76 2 years ago
yeah, on this vid I ran it through a compressor and a volume boost before going straight into amp, for metallica though its easier to get there tone with a mark series. My current favorite setup is running mark v to top cab and triple rec to bottom cab, both through my rack, little bit of compression and sometimes noise gate, for recording though I usually run the noise gate and the compressor on the microphone instead of amp/gtr.

what compressor are you using?

Hi Hjefv, I own the same amp but your tone is just badass, it's perfect. If you want I'd like you to help me with that... I know you use DBX 166 XL, but I wanted to know how good it was as a noise gate? I mean, on the video it seems like you have NO feedback at all and you're sitting next to your amp, so I'm wondering: are you running your amp half power? or more?
Also, what do you use a volume boost for that distortion without leaking(whistling)?
positivecommitment 1 year ago
I will change my settings day to day, depending on room, or guitar im usingbut generally...excellent as noise gate, w/ the 166 you can actually add or decrease signal gain, I normally will add a little bit here
Hjefv 1 year ago
as to no feedback, my volumes rolled off on guitar until I start to play, plus using emg 81=nothing to feedback. Not running at reduced power in the sense of no removed tubes or anything like that. and for volume boost I like a metalzone w/ the gain almost on zero, solos sometimes a boss super overdrive.-let me know if you got any more questions -hjefv

EMG pickups, along with any other humbucker pickup, doesnt have feedback. really only single coil pickups give u feedback

they do have feedback, just not as much

i have EMG's on my guitar and i play through a marshall with Boss's Metalcore pedal and i can go 3 inches away from my amp with volume at half and not get anything, it depends on the amp settings and equipment you use
airplanegy49 1 year ago
i now have a peavey 6505 and an ltd m-400 with EMG 81's, get a bit of squeal when not playing, even with gain on 6

xXlopoXx 2 years ago
For a Lamb of God tone buy a Mesa Boogie Mark IV and either a Will Adler signature ESP or the signature Mark Morton Dominion. Or any Jackson or ESP guitar with active JB/59s
daysoftheunion 2 years ago
no not any jackson or esp. Any mahogany guitar. Must be made out of mahogany for that warmth and beef. An alder guitar can do LoG, but mahogany will do much better.

sure 57 and also a cheap off-brand that kinda looks like a 58 that sounds pretty good to me. I like to use a lot of gain so I run my noise gate after my mics to not squash the tone but still get rid of the hum.

finally someone who plays with some balls. Good job man. I really want a mesa head either dual or triple recto. Can't really decide.

Nice one dude. How're you liking that V?
I've heard despite the fact they say it sounds like a mark IV lead, it really has its own voice. How do you feel?
0ftheWALLS 2 years ago
to be honest ive never played a mark iv , so I cant compare the two. I do really the variety of tones you can get out of it though. I play with the triple going to bottom cab and it covers the low end and then i have the mark v going to my top cab with a more up front gain setting. the two together blend really nice
