Mesa Boogie Dual Rectoverb 25 Head Black – ULT975560814842

Introducing the Recto-Verb Twenty-Five Head and 1×12 Combo. These are the Reverb-endowed, fraternal-twins of our little Mini Rectifier lunchbox thats been taking names all over the globe. These even mightier packages are slightly larger just big enough to accommodate a 1×12 speaker in the case of the combo and long-spring Reverb tank in the case of the head. In both cases they boast all the same great performance that the Mini Rec is famous for and more. Plus, their classic vinyl-covered birch cabinets provide a wide array of custom finish options to fully personalize them.

We keep saying it, but its hard to overstate the value, effectiveness and stylistic power of the Multi-Watt Channel Assignable Power switches. These dedicated wattage range choices unveil different power characteristics and colors so they are really power voicing switches as well.

In this Recto, the choice of EL-84 power tubes with their amazing clip characteristics, prompted us to explore the different wiring schemes possible. This experimentation led to the 10-Watt Power Mode being wired for Triode operation. This more vintage wiring scheme sweetens and rounds out the sound, turning what might otherwise be a lower volume version of the same voice, into more soulful Recto experience.

The 25-Watt setting delivers a bold attack, tight tracking low end, increased definition and all out headroom. This setting works great with all the sounds and certainly showcases the mightiness in this little Rectifier, shocking unsuspecting players and bystanders alike with power and sonic size. But any time you need to tame this little beast and put a vintage patina of warmth and silkiness around things kick down to 10-Watts and enjoy a whole new and different world of Recto expression.
