Channel 2 Vintage on the Multi-Watt Dual is probably the best tone i’ve heard come from one of your reviews yet.

*thumbs up*

keep it up, TTK.

BTW..you know what would be cool. Use reamping. Have a flashy player record some stuff dry and use that

I would work on your right hand a bit more…your not drawing the tone out the amp. Your hand is not adapting the tone. Resting your palm on the bridge a bit closer will help you control the strings tone.

The old Tremoverb is a very good amplifier, I guess it costs less then the new Dual Rec. The multi-wattage feature is wonderful, but Mesa needs to upgrade that feature so it can go to really low wattage for bedroom volumes.
Both amps rock hard, I can’t really say which one is better.

Well, on my humb le opinion, i like the one underneath, the one with the four mods better, nice clean crunchy tones…

Both really good, but if you’d ask me… i like the beneath one better, more kindda my style

Hi TTK, i just bought a Mesa Dual Rec. off of ebay, but it is missing 3/4 power tubes. I happen to have 2 extra tubes laying around, could i use these and run it off of 2 tubes instead until i get a new set of tubes?

wow… BOTH had just a QUALITY tone – just PURE QUALITY. I don’t know if I’m even using the right words, but man… NICE.

That being said, both had REALLY good cleans, which, for some reason, one doesn’t think of ‘clean’ when you think ‘rectifier’(as an amp head, I know a rectifier is a part inside an amp) – with the Tremo-Verb slightly warmer. Like you, I thought ‘Ch. 2 vintage’ on the new one was just SWEEEEET.

EITHER would be a dream amp – but I’d have to go with the new one for versatility, because of the additional modes, NOT because of any tonal superiority. Tone-wise, there wasn’t really enough of a difference, except for abit more warmth on the older model… and of course, this is just based on watching a video over the internet.

This just may be the BEST shootout you’ve ever done. Good job, my friend!

One of the best MESA amp performance reviews EVER. Well done!
