Mesa Dual Recto - Rev C/F/G Comparison

A brief video showing a comparison of the following Rectos:

'95 Mesa Dual Recto - Rev G (Rackmount)
'94 Mesa Dual Recto - Rev G
'93 Mesa Dual Recto - Rev F
'92 Mesa Dual Recto - Rev C (Ch 2 Modern)
'92 Mesa Dual Recto - Rev C (Ch 1 Vintage)

All amps are dialed in the same, volumes equalized as best possible. ZERO processing or EQ on the tracks (not even HP/LP). Completely raw guitars, double tracked only to hear the raw tone of the amps captured as best I can.

No boosts or anything else in the signal chain. Plugged straight into each amp, mics on cab, and that's it.

F and especially C are like a halfway from Rectos to Marks, bloody love that tone.

[mostresticator]

damn that rackmount has a haunting bark!

[BPToneReview]

C without a doubt my fav, tight, quick attack and clear. Followed by F, still clear but a tad warmer with bit of loose low end. G is dark and flub. Recto Multi Watt Reborn for the win! lol

[FedericoMK]

this comparison video is a treasure!
great audio quality too!
Would it be possible for you to post this also in guitars only version?
keep it up!

C is the bone crusher. Awesome video! thanks for doing this.

[UNQUEATH]

I wonder what the rev a and rev b sounded like.

[goldensunspiral]

I like the F. I think that's what mine is. C is great, too.

[MichaelDespairs]

I like the F it's smoother and organic I think it will take a boost the best. I have a 2009 3 Channel Dual Rec I wonder it I could change same component values to get it to sound like the rev F.

[guitartonetopia]

Anyone else think the Rackmount G and Rev F sound very similar? Great clip

[coffinfeeder]

Does anyone know why the Racktifier seems to have a bit more snarl than the Rev G head? Aren’t they the same components??

[SlinkyT]

dude! Thanks for sharing. That first Rev C and Rev F for me. All sound great though.

[jjosh]

I have a Triple Rectifier Rev F that's been modded to C specs. The Clean channel isn't that great but when I crank the lead....you can hear the lamentation of the women!!!

[snapascrew]

Didnt know they were into rev g in 94….

[marcelopm]

Great tones! is the rev F 92 or 93? in the video it says 92 but in the video descriptiom 93. Does it have the mark III trannys?

[АлександрКиселёв-пд]

which mics do you used, and in which position at cab?

[thenewworldman]

The C is in the 70s, the F is in the 1600s. I'm likely about to sell Rev C, serial number roughly 30.

[goldensunspiral]

Please tell wgat the serials are for the c and f?

[xvx]

To my ears both the Rev C and Rev F sound better than Rev G, but also to my ears both Rev C and Rev F sound similar…..

[mattvdh]

Rev C was the most punchy and pushed sounding to my ears. also had a bit of high end bite that the others didnt

[fireonhigh]

they all killin it, sent a 92f to mike turned to revis.c now my cleans suck, but it is a beast. will send back for a cap job and return to f .... No matter what dual you have hit it with a dirty tree if you play 7 string!!!!
