Haha. I think I got a decent tone out of it. I was reamping for an old school thrash metal EP. Apparently everybody hates this amp, but I could have sworn people loved 'em a couple years ago!

I remember the Mesa was the ONLY amp everyone used . I think it was like late 90's , you know the Korn era . |

I remember the Mesa was the ONLY amp everyone used . I think it was like late 90's , you know the Korn era . A guy that I play with picked up a Triple Rec probably around 2003. They were pretty popular at the time. 2006/07 we were gigging pretty regularly in the Boston area and all the guys in the rock scene then were almost all playing JCM2000's. Around this time, he found a cheap Rivera M100 and checked it out. The Rivera smoked everything for loud rock tone. That's been his go to for that type of stuff since. |

I've never owned any Mesa Rectifier series amp. I was always interested because they were so popular and I'd hear great tones on records from guitarists who supposedly used them. I couldn't get over the fact that they sounded terrible, to my ears at least, in a live setting.
Marshall JCM's on the other hand well- that's the sound of rock for me. My adrenaline still flows when I walk into a venue and see one of those set up.

Well, I think a used JCM800 is at the top of my list, above any Mesa

My adrenaline still flows when I walk into a venue and see one of those set up. I had the SAME exact experience with the Mesa amps . At one point EVERYBODY used them for recording and live . So I bought a Dual rectifier and could NOT get it to sound good . I sold it and got a Triple rectifier , same thing , sounded like crap to me . To this day I still don't get how everyone used one and got good guitar tones out of them . I love my Orange AD30 single channel head . But the JCM 800 to me is best guitar amp ever . |

Orange Amps rock. I have a Dual Terror and it's a real fun amp. I've actually never owned a JCM800, which is crazy since it's my favorite sounding rock amp, but had a 1959 Plexi Reissue for quite a few years. Good amp but not like the JCM 800. I often think about what my setup would look like if I had stuck with just playing guitar and not got into audio engineering. Some day I'll get into collecting amps but too many temptations these days......... |

The trick with Mesa rectifiers is to keep the gain low and quad track. If you want a stronger distortion, use a boost pedal or turned-down tube screamer or other OD on the front end. Mesas get fizzy real quick when you turn them up.
