1994 Mesa Dual Rectifier - 2 Channel "Blackface"

Testing out the new camera and using the 2 Channel Dual Recto. The enclosed space is overloading the camera mic, so there's a lot of mic clipping happening. Better videos to follow later.

The drummer walks in about half way through and starts jamming along.

is this a real clackface? too many people paint there's and go "oh, you wouldn't even know the different" which i just think is bullshit.

[silverwulf2]

No paint job here, this one is factory original.

Badass Silverwulf! How do you like the 5881s compared to regular 6L6? I have a set and to me they sound kind of dark.

[silverwulf2]

Thanks! Yeah, they are a little darker, but that's actually why I like them. They roll off the highs some, have a thick mid range, and they have very little bottom end which helps keep the bass in check on the Recto. I think Rectos sound best with V30's, but the high end and upper mids can get excessive if you don't watch your settings. I like to run my Presence a little higher than most, so the Sovtek 5881's let me do that without the sound becoming piercing.

wow how is that eq'ed? and what tubes are they?

[DB73093]

[paparazzi3p]

What kind of guitar do you use?

[Guitarplayer7761]

The guy just walks in and starts playing drums, awesome..

[vagostwo]

[dekzan]

when changed the tubes did you hv to do bias, etc or just plug and play ? Isn't it a fixed bias?

[lwoods529]

@LokiAashraya It actually was part of a song we played in that band at the time.

@nrodri10

I owned both... they sound the same.... don't get fooled by the dumb hype that always insists that older gear sounds better... it isn't true
