Mesa Boogie 2X12 Recto Compact Cabinet Opinions? - The Gear Page I have the full sized or non-compact horizontal 2x12 Recto cabinet and really like it The compact model is a bit lighter and smaller and those features are nice for portability Has anyone tried the 2x12 recto compact cab and can give your thoughts on it's tone? A comparison with its full
Mesa Rectoverb 25 or Fillmore 25? - The Gear Page Looking to get a Mesa head to use with my Mesa 1x12 mini-Recto cabinet I currently have an Orange OR15 head I'm using with it I tend to lean towards more vintage overdrive and rock tones I'm thinking the Fillmore 25 is probably the one I want? I'm wanting a more "F" style clean channel and
Mesa Rectifier Orange or Red ? | Page 2 | The Gear Page All of this is why Mesa eventually redesigned Rectifiers to have proper separate clean channels – I haven't looked recently at the Clean channel of the early 2001 3-channel Rectos, but I know the Multiwatt Recto Clean is basically a version of the Lone Star's channel 1, plus some extra switchable circuitry that cuts bass and adds gain
