Hey guys, just wondering why they're much cheaper in the States other than the fact that they're made there?
Surely importing 'em can't that much of a difference onto the price?! If anyone else has got a Mesa Boogie i'm eyeballing a single or a dual rectifier shipped from the States to the EU, I'd love to hear how it went import tax etc.
Thanks in advance. Metaltastic Member. It's a shitty deal you guys have, to be sure - most definitely get it sent over, though changing the transformer will be another story. Dual, have spent a lot of time with a 2 ch. Dual Rectifiers are god's own amps! Its relative simplicity of design and huge output transformer gave it girth, growl and an organic feel that remains unmatched to this day among its Mark Series compatriots an honourable mention, though, goes to the JP-2C which appears later in this article.
Grab one before the prices soar even further! At their core the same amp, these sadly-discontinued giants offer the highest levels of flexibility ever packed into a Rectifier. If you love the revised Recto clean channel - but also enjoy Tweed mode - the Road series allows you to have one of each. Two lead sounds, one Vintage and one Modern, each dialled to perfection? No problem. The Road series even plays host to a delicious Brit mode whose crackly raunch could give many Marshalls or Hiwatts a run for their money!
The frankly ridiculous Road King offers any combination of two EL34s and four 6L6s to be assigned to any channel. The frankly ridiculous Road King goes a step further by offering any combination of two EL34s and four 6L6s to be assigned to any channel - so your Fender cleans could be delivered through a 50W 6L6 power stage, your Marshall dirt through 50W worth of EL34s, and the lead channels could be independently dispositioned to flatten any number of buildings at whim!
A wonderfully poetic anachronism in a world of Kempers, the Roadster and Road King II amps are magnificent beasts that beg to be experienced.
The Mark IV offers a kind of visually complex quasi-three channel operation, carrying partially shared controls between the clean and crunch modes. Dispensing with technicalities though, at its core the Mark IV offers a great version of the exquisite Mark Series clean and breakup sounds alongside a well-judged and very useful British-inspired crunch sound.
There is a degree of compromise between settings here, but far less so than previously. Mesa customer service is 1st class, absolutely 10 out of 10 points!
In fact, all gear is way too expensive. Don't even get me started on Gibsons!.. Start new topic. Prev 1 2 3 Next Page 1 of 3. Recommended Posts. Posted June 3, Really, are Mesa's worth the cash? I look at their combos and they don't look like much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options Replies 54 Created 14 yr Last Reply 14 yr. Play one, then you'll understand. TheAmazingBlob Posted June 3, Honestly, I haven't played through one. Rayneman Posted June 3, Expensive compared to what?
