I was told about a strange Mesa Boogie Rectifier that had a weird sticker on it in the used section of a Guitar Center. What does it mean? Who would mod an amp anyways? Let's talk about it.

I appreciate the love for mods and boutique gear. At the same time the low price pedals and basic guitars being in the chain make it apparent that eq at different points in the recording process make way more difference to the sound than some magical high dollar mod some dude does to some caps or resisters in an amp.

I’m so glad to see him getting some love here… 👏👏👏

Watching Fluff do all these Mesa Recto vids really makes me miss the Triple Rec I used to have. Regret getting rid of it almost 10 years ago. It wasn't anything special, just an early 2000s model but that was THE amp to have back then and I was so stoked when I got it. Maybe I can have one again someday

@SolaChristus 11 ай бұрын

If you’re referring to modding the Parallel loop into a Serial loop, that mod is simple and has been well documented on the Boogie Board. A Google search should be enough to find it, and it’s something you can do yourself as I believe it’s just 2 wires to be removed. I’ve done it twice a long time ago: once to a Single Rec and also to my current Dual Rec… And yes it’s well worth doing. Parallel loops made more sense with old Fx units with low 16 bit converters…modern 24 bit converters are much better and generally Serial loops won’t have much or any tonal degradation….
