Mesa, are they wroth the price?

[Junker]

I tried a mesa rec dual solo top today... and I'm in love. it is the perfect amp for me, but it is very expensive...3563$.. I think it is very expensive, but still it is a very cool amp.
So my question is, in long terms is the amp worth the money..
The price was the cheapest I could find in Dk

[Fikealox]

I don't know what retail prices are like for different amps in Denmark (or the US), but I'd say it's worth the money if you can't find anything you like as much for a lower price :) As long as you're sure it's the amp for you, you wont change your mind, and you can afford it, anyway.

[DeathIsMyJustice]

In a word, yes

[KH Guitar Freak]

Comparing their pricing to other "boutique" amps, at least in Australia, they are "worth" it if you dig the tones...

[ESPKH4]

im not a big fan of the recto sound...im more of a Mark IV type guy..but if you really dig the amp it comes down to personal preference and if you think in the long run was worth the $3600...

[themisfit138]

Is it a 2 or 3 channel Recto? What ever it is a recto is worth the money but like ESPKH4Builder I am also a Mark series guy.

Mark III?

[Artep.of.Filth]

It's only worth it if you live in the USA otherwise its a rip off. They're good quality amps, but they're not the best. They give off the impression they make boutique or custom amps, which they almost do but on a mass production scale. There's a handful of REAL boutique amps that are only hundreds more than Mesas.

In Canada the prices are pretty outrageous. single = 1500 dual = 2200 triple = 2800
I would only buy one if they were brand new for single - $1000 dual = 1500 triple 2000
Anything more is overpriced. Just get a 6505 and its less than half the price of the dual rec but it cuts threw it like a fart through silence.

[ESPRockBeast]

there might be a Mark V at NAMM

+1!!

What about the Stillettos? Those are killer if you're not a recto kinda guy. But most people don't take the time to dial in a Rec just right. They just rock the channel 3 in modern setting with all the mid scooped out, bass up all the way, diode rectifieing, and bold mode. :rolleyes:

As for the Stiletto, it's a bloody awesome amp, the Stiletto II crunches insanely, definitely pairs well with a Rectifier series amp...

Damn, I want myself one(dual recto), but I live in EU and the aren´t that cheap.

[Dark Alone]

If you're in the US, they're absolutely worth it. I'm a Mesa whore.

But outside the US, that's a steep price. Not worth it. Kinda like how Diezels ain't worth it in the States.

Don't get me wrong I like the Recto Duel or Triple and the Stilletto Duce(never played a Trident) but I just prefer the tone of a Mark. That being said my next amp will be either a 2 channel Triple of Stilletto Duce.

Mark III?
there OK, but I prefer the IIC+

It's almost the same thing. The only thing that's different is the power transformer.

My friend has a III red stripe, and we compaired it with my IIC+ and. there are a few differences. First The III sounds a little compressed with high gain compaired with IIC+ which gives the C+ a little more note definition with high gain than the III. THen the C+ has a little more mid/high-mid tone ther the III is like a tighter sounding Recto.

you can't EQ out muddiness. i personally do not like most mesas, they are way too loose on the attack, me personally, an amp can never be too tight.

anyways, a OD pedal and an EQ will tighten up an amp, but only a little.

i have played a Mark IV before, personally its sloppy sounding and noisy.

Mesas even in the states are too much for me, i wouldn't pay that kind of money when you could buy a Bogner Framus or Engl. and overseas where mesas are more than those amps, huh unless you really really really want mesa tone, its way not worth it

[Metfuk]

I've never played one. But I hear Mesa amps work best when they are cranked (this goes for most amps, but I hear ESPECIALLY for Mesa). So maybe you didn't turn it up loud enough and that caused it too be sloppy?

actually amps get sloppier when you push the tubes, besides it was during band practice in a rental space so it was full cranked, normal gigging volume, not extremely loud but not quiet.

Sounds to me like you are a Soild State guy.
I will agree with you that a recto if dialed incorrectly will be a bit sloppy and muddy. but where is no Mud in a Mark, thats why I would rather have a Mark III that a recto. We are not talking about a Marshall here where you kan set the knobs anywhere and you get the same tone only louder, a Mesa the knobs actully change the amps tone. Mesa is a tweekers amp, but there is plenty of tone to be had. Pure tone NO mud=Mark

i fucking hate solid state, and i hate muddy tone, is that too mcuh to ask from an amp?? not really

i have loved the JSX's XXX's 5150/6505 since i played them, and a few mesas including the Dual Recto, Mark IV the tube B-52's as well as a few Marshalls including the JCM800 JCM2000 and JVM and i will tell you the Mark IV i played was up there with in the mud and noise as any Marshall i have played and the recto series are nothing but boomy as fuck bass and fizzly highs. they just don't cut it for me, not my cup of tea

i'd rather save a few hundred and have a 6505 (original) or an Engl Fireball.

Ever use a clean boost? The old school rectos with a decently made clean boost are so much more dynamic than just about any engl on the market today, especially the fireball. Tight percussive and not at all boomy yet still retains some warmth unlike the Fireball which IMO is sterile and flat.

well the fireball is a flat amp compared to the more higher end engls. and really if i am going to pay well over 1k for an amp, it better sound good and tight, i shouldn't have to go out and buy additional equipment just to make it sound good.

on another note, what you guys all call sterile, i see as tight, you want some warmth, turn your mids up. i have said this once and i will say it again, tightness always comes first over warmth to me, if i have to sacrifice some warmth to remove some mud, well then so be it.

i love EMG pickups for their tightness and i like the sound (becuase i haven played) of the Higher end Engls. I have heard of lot of guys complaining that Enlgs are too tight, only if your a sloppy player that uses mud to hide your slop. but anyways i like tight tone, flubber doesn't cut it for me

Meh not really, I always have my mids up around noon. Even on the SE that I had, now don't get me wrong the SE was the most badass amp on the planet. It was the EL34 version so there was some warmth to it which I really really liked. A little too much money for me to have stuck in one amp but I had it for a good 6 months and it really is a great amp. For the money though I think my Dual Recto is a bigger bang for my buck. And honestly if you can't dial out the boom with a good clean boost you need to improve your amp skills. Also please don't tell me there is something wrong with using a boost. Hell people boost diezels and I boosted the crunch channel on the SE. It has nothing to do with the quality of the amp if you boost it, all the boost does is add another dimension to the amps tone. Just like trying out different tube and speaker combinations. If money was no object though I would still have the SE. (and probably the recto)

You played a broken Mark IV. It's one of the tightest, most responsive tube amps out there.

And I say that having owned a VHT Deliverance, and currently owning a VHT 2/90/2 power amp :p

Not to mention that the MKIV is WAY tighter than any Peavey.

[DeathrollJM]

it was a joke dude, I have never played a SS amp that wasn't muddy

yea i know, the general idea is that SS are tighter and not as muddy as Tubes, i find that quite wrong, every tube amp that i have played has always had more attack, clarity and definition that even the highest end (non digital) SS.

tube are just win, unless you are using a Pod XT into a tube power amp, becuase that is pretty win to.

the Mark IV i played was quite an old one, and to me it sounded like the tubes were going, that might have been it, but then again when i played it, it sounded very LoG sounding, and to me their tone isn't necessarily sloppy, but it is not a very strong very strong tone, almost nasally.

idk, the most expensive amp that was setup correctly was a Krankenstein (i have also play a VHT pitbull, but it was long ago and it didn't really appeal to me tonewise), and i will tell you, at full volume, that amp fucking slays.

[Rex Rocker]

The Vetta has a solid-state power-amp section. The vetta is NOT muddy whatsoever.

The Mark IV is my favorite amp ever and I like when guitars contribute a little low-end too. It's all personal taste! :)

i am just saying that if i am going to pay a lot of money for an amp i shouldn't have to use a boost to tighten it up. adding a boost should just kick up the tone from awesome to legendary, not ok to awesome.

then again mesas have never cut it for me, not dry enough and to the point and i am extremely picky, rather anal (probably worse than gorge lynch) and i here things that most people either don;t notice or don;t care about. but to me an amp is too boomy if i cant hear the high end dominate over the attack, if i hear any of the bass sacrificing even a hint of the percussive attack, its too much, all mesas (and line 6's for that matter to) are dominate bass amps.

but i am into the European death metal tone (in flames, mercenary evergrey etc.). Definitely something that mesa can't do, but then again all amps have a weakness even the SE.

[Rex Rocker]

i have tried playing the vetta, something about all line 6 amps, no matter how hard to tweak on them they sound very processed and distant, especially the vetta, which the weird thing is even though the amp sounds solid, it almost seems like the mids are non existent. I personally haven't heard any good recordings or albums that used just a Vetta.

You don't like Meshuggah (or their production), I guess. Personally, I think it sounds VERY good, especially for that kind of music.

Meshuggah uses the XT Pro (or at least i have heard). its along with the pod series are tighter than fuck. Still you really can't say their tone if organic, its not but it brings the brootalz.

really defeats the purpose if calling it a triple rec huh? lol

Well the single is 50, the dual is 100, so if they make a 150 it makes sense to call it a triple.

[DeathrollJM]

Well the single is 50, the dual is 100, so if they make a 150 it makes sense to call it a triple.

eh i don't think so, maybe they should have 2 versions of the Dual recto, a 100 watt and a 150 watt, kind of like some other amps companies (like engl) do

or like a V1 and V2. calling it a triple recto when it has only 2 rectifiers is kind of fail, even though it is the 3rd recto in the series.

but i thought it was a triple recto because it has a setting that can both tube and SS at the same time (i know that the JSX and XXX do something like that)

again i don't know much about mesas, they aren't my cup of tea so i haven't gotten all the details.
