How Much Distortion Does a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier Have?

[zachvd13]

man, you sure do put the mesa name to shame.And of course, any amp is going to feed back with balls to the wall gain and you are sitting right infront of the cab with a bc rich.

[Metallimeister]

Well, they have a lot of distortion but you would usually back the gain to about 60% - 80% to get the optimal tone.

[imSergenT]

jajajajaja

[6FALLEN6LEGION6]

i love how easy it is to play with the feedback on a mesa

[ESPSROCK]

@6FALLEN6LEGION6 Yeah IT'S kick ASS mate !

[acasadasseiscordas]

Distortion? or Sustain ?

[metalheadchris93]

fucking hell thats got some awesome sustain xD

[ESPSROCK]

@metalheadchris93 Yeah Chris it's pretty "AWESOME" \m/

[jesseglynn]

woah man are you in a band?

[ESPSROCK]

@jesseglynn Yeah man ! :D

[carlyonv]

Sorry, couldn't hear a word you were saying, my tinnitus must be playing up :)

[ESPSROCK]

@carlyonv LMAO :D

[bluenaite]

I think you hit the brown note, time to change my jocks

[ESPSROCK]

@bluenaite YOU funny BUGGER ! :D

[TheIbanezGrx20]

the feedback since 0:40 is very cool :D

[IgnacioAtenas]

dislike

[tayfunsimf]

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooo

[TheRocker418]

Now plug a 57', 58' or 59' LP into it. That BC Rich has basically no sustain.

[themodernguitarist]

@TheRocker418

Why don't you buy those guitars then so he can try it?

[minusjason]

Whaaaaat when you hold your guitar facing the speaker from 2 feet away it produces feedback what kind of wizardry is this trickery

[peaveyst7]

my fame bulldozer has more gain and sounds better than your mesa

[41224jason]

man, that sustain is really unique. i wish when i hit a power chord it had all those electronic overtones and angry tubes raping my signal.

[staubfc]

correct me if Im wrong.. but.. feedback might damage your amp

[TempestaRiggs]

@staubfc Fuck no, that's one of the best part's about having a high gain amp. Some people like it, myself, and some people don't. To me, it's one of the greatest ways to end a piece of composition \m/(>_<)\m/

[TheVincentWolf]

but where's the distortion at?

[BlacksmithBassist]

Holy earfucking feedback Batman! Step back from the amp my friends...

[tommyg524]

any amp, even an 8 inch speaker amp from the cheapest line can have feedback. wth.

[hooky1982]

My Laney Gh100L has much more sustain, the chords ring much longer, at at a fraction of the cost lol, will do a vid at some point :P

[EldubeG25]

still not enough hahahahah ;)

[InsanityIncludedTv]

listen to the sustain

[daliks]

@InsanityIncludedTv which sustain?? there is only a few seconds worth..

[natekrikke]

that's uh... that's feedback.

[S0ryiu]

to all the people who can't read, it doesn't say "how long can a chord hold" is says "how much distortion does X have". Distortion causes feedback.

[kepeb1]

distortion does not cause feedback, when amplified, any sound can create a loop which 'feeds back' to the input making more 'feedback' hence the term 'feedback'.

distortion is irrelevant.

[ItzR3zR4pt0r]

The noise your amp was making was in tune with my desktop fan c:

[ESPSROCK]

@ItzR3zR4pt0r Who needs a "MESA" when you have a desktop fan! Cheers man \m/

[darren0512341]

looks like u were testing "how much feedback does a dual rec has." -.-

[MetalCallum666]

i thought i was guna hear something good, not just feedback.. my mistake >.<

[sentre16]

The limit does not exist.

[zillathegorilla]

The correct answer is 42.

[Dylannnnnnnn91]

Shit.Why the fuck did youtube recommend this to me? I assumed it would be aware of the fact that I have taste by now...

[compositeur666]

yeah but this can shows that this amp isn t muddy. the chord holds on til 10 seconds.. A marshall amp should be muddy at 00.10

[metallica5252]

@compositeur666 not a marshall jvm410

[dontbannme254012]

that's called sustain.

[oskob]

how long a chord dings is determined by the instrument and is called sustain. distortion enhances that because it compresses the sound, but this is just the sound of the amp making the guitar vibrate: feedback!

[ftorre82]

change your guitar pickups dude...

[tenhundredkills]

How about some gain? NOT FUCKING FEEDBACK!

[madcheshire77]

i love it!

[flipsy87]

"Hey wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world? Watch this video"

[MrRyanMcCall]

I think the correct term for this is "feed-back"?

Dis-tor-tion is pretty different.

[EldubeG25]

Answer : Never enough!! hahaha \m/

[cast390]

I have a 2010 recto and I'm disappointed with it,Not enough gain saturation for my taste,I should have bought an engl

[darrenguitar]

@cast390 then you would have problem cutting through the mix

[peoplesnyukka3]

@cast390 retube it!!!! dude trust me! i own one as well.. trust me just retube it. get dougstubes reccomended high gain set! with gz 34's as the diode tubes.

[jakeguitarable]

wtf did this prove you spent to much money on a mesa now you cant afford a noise gate!!!!?????

[tmblacktrack]

that's called feedback my friend

[kcaz0]

wtf are you doing?

[Pluckyxo]

Very

Pretty

[ctjoao]

how much knowledge of amplifiers do  you have...

[MrORLY]

The Chord is completely gone at 00:10... The rest is just feedback

[Selltowitz]

@MrORLY right

[adadglgmatt]

@MrORLY why isn't this the top comment?

[soilworker2099]

@MrORLY totally

[ThePyroHobo]

Feedback FTW!!!!!!

[lespaulfreak616]

That's what happens when you sit two feet away from your amp facing it

[Squingelio]

where's the black smoke?

[shark2810]

this is just amp feedback........

[eoinc100]

that was the biggest waste of nearly a minute ever. That doesn't prove anything about the amount of distortion. Maybe sustain but distortion suggests how heavy an amp sounds, 1 rung-out chord does not inform this

[TheCountofTuscany11]

"how much distortion does a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier Have?"

More than enough for me!

Roadster > all (aside from the Road King)

[DB73093]

That's not sustain, that's feedback my friend. 

[dreamtheater92ftw]

That's not distortion or sustain, thats feedback

[Undercurrentuk1]

fucking awesome

[AlvisLiquid]

The answer is OVER 9000 !

[ESPSROCK]

@AlvisLiquid ha ha lol :)

[darkdeceptiondz]

@AlvisLiquid lmao that cracked me up

[TheKarlo93]

ouch...

[SkyHunNN]

Dude that is not sustain after 10th second. it is deep noise... I even have it with stupid ibanez ibz 10g.... But the tone is nice...

[MrNono5150]

NAGYON ÁLLAT!!!!!

[scotty688]

My Spider III would only sustain for half of that. I am getting sick of solid states now, I need to get a valve stack already.
