Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier Trem-O-Verb

It has 2 channels with cloning and all the other futeres listed by other reviewers

I play a Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul with 57 Humbuckers, 91 Les Paul Studio(which is really worn out), and a recent purchase of a Gibson Explorer with humbuckers. This amp goes from the cleanest of clean all the way over to down right out of control. Mesa has achieved the abilty to give you the note first then the effect or overdrive. This is very critical to me in our stlye of playing.

The amp has only broken once and was fixed in 4 hours. Mesa warranty is increadable. The break was my own fault and they still handled it. Just get a hard case if you are going on the road. Other than that this amp is rock solid I use it every day for 2-3 hours and beat the hell out of it. Even when I broke it it held on for the gig then died.

Buy Mesa get good service buy Marshall get junk!!!

I have been playing for 20 years and until last year was always strive for that perfect tone. I would sware Gibson and Mesa build thier equipment for each other.

all tube, used for live material and recording, never failed me. made in 99, bought in 00, and very versitle for my style of playing. not that great for cleans but still very versitle. goes all the way from blues to metal and back. definatly enough power, and it goes great w/mesa's recto cabs. 2 channel amp, 2 modes on each channel, has effects loop and shit like that, oh yeah, reverb and tremolo, not really used to much by me though.

72 gibson, origional pickups. i play mostly metal, sludge, grind, hardcore or whatever you want to call it. it suits very well, but has been lent out to buddies of mine for blues/rock gigs and fit it just the same. sometimes there's a bit of hiss but on the solo channel, you dont seem to care once the shit starts to drip down you leg from this amps awsome tone. tons of natural tube compression. clean isn't all that clean, but i dont really use the clean all to often.

i've gigged and recorded many times with this amp . . . never had a backup and it has never failed me.

never touched the customer support

i haven't been playing too long (i started playing when i joined this band) but i've owned plenty of other gear . . . nothing really stands up to the mesa. i would replace this amp with the same model if it were stolen.

this amp is probably 2 or 3 years old.very versitile,any sound you want at the turn of a knob! two channels with unlimited options on each,plus if you like two sounds on the same channel you can clone it to the other one!!great effects loop . this is now my main rig. plenty of power,overpowers a marshall 100 watt no prob. all tube.

i am using a 76 electra les paul copy with duncan 59 classic neck/ jeff beck bridge pickups. i play heavy metal in my band but i play blues at home.this amp is great for both and any in between.the clean channel is beautiful and the modern high gain is brutal!!i mean brutal!!!

i have only had it for a month, no problems yet , even being used when i got it.

i shouldn't have to find out (by their reputation)

i have been playing for 16 years, i have had everything you can imagine,but this tops everything. if it where stolen i would have to cry, but i would definitly buy again at any price.it came with a 3/4 back boogie cabinet (slant) for same price! this rig rules!

this is an update to a previous review. please don't make the BIG mistake of purchasing anything except the mesa 4x12 recto cab!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i went thru h and k, marshall, laney, crate, and peavey the bottom end just explodes and the highs clear and glassy which helps to tone down the mids from the head. i recently got into a discussion with the builder of the klon, bill finnigan, about how i loved his overdrive pedal's clean boost but thought the gain was weak. his comments were to the effect that mesa's were not very good amps and randell smith was overated. he suggested i try some real clean, boutique amps such as dr z and bogner. i did and the pedal did sound a lot better but not in the same ballpark as the mesa to start with.each amp has it's own pluses and minuses . one amp can never DO IT ALL!!!! if you want brutal, crushing, overdrive and distortion then the mesa tov is your ticket.NOTE:i did try solodano since they peaked my interest by trashing mesa in their reviews. the solodano head is awesome if not too bright for my liking but mesa with the right tubes:testla 12ax7,svetlana 6l6,and rca recifiers still is my choice for ultimate grind over solodano, bogner ,and matchless. of course a lot of people might disagree but tone is always a subjective type of thing. and at 1,500.00 it's about half the price!!!!!

purchased new 99' model 4 channel clean, vintage gain, blues, modern hi-gain,channel cloneing,el 84 or 6l6 bias switch,rectifier or diode switch,bold or spongy switch,loop,tremolo.reverb, slave,
