| I bought this amp for one reason... it's tone. However my tastes have changed a wee bit and I was pondering switching back to Marshall or trying out an Orange amp; but, THEN I REMEMBERED! - you can switch out the 6L6's to EL34's tubes, easy peasy with the flick of a switch! So I did, and needless to say, I love my amp again!
I run this head through a MB Straight/Slant cab and it it PLENTY load. I run it only with 2 power tubes on the spongy/tube setting, it sounds great. Mesa builds their gear very solid and it is heavy.
I tell this story to so many people, and they always react with a, "wow, you can do that? Don't you need to re-bias the amp?"
Nope. +1 Mesa Boogie!

| I can't say enough, my name is Adrian Blaney I'm the lead guitarist of Tracenine, currently endorsed by Mesa Boogie but this was our choice due to the Dual Rectifier being the
a@#$ ripping amplifier it is fit our heavy music and our tight tone , punches and chugging . Dual Rec. amplifier is very sensitive and unique but ball crushing , you need to know how to use it , I read the 70 page manuel before I plugged in or else you wont understand the how the rectifier tube works its purpose and the effects loop which can be tricky with or without effect in the loop. i stress read the manuel you'll get the best tones and the most out of your amp. I had to call and speak with our Boogie rep "Chris " outstanding customer service , you guys rock at Mesa Boogie thank you for all the help, and Long & Mcquade put the red carpet out for any customer service regarding the amp, which is what they always do regardless , sales staff in Cambridge store , they rock!!!!!
So as for different tones from this amp that I'm able to accomplish believe it or not
I love Eddie Van Halen off the top .I can rip Euroption tone the "brown sound" very very very close , Pink Floyd to Stones to U2 (with the help of delays and reverbs in the effect loop and front end of amp) Vintage switches to Modern you can dial this baby up if you know what your doing. If you get a chance try it you'll fall in love , remember "READ THE MANUEL !!!!!!!!" its online read it before bed , read it to your son or daughter as a bed time story they too will love it.
Go to L & M and test drive it,its a loud amp so make sure you do it on a sunday early afternoon at Long and Mcquade store.
One last thing, yes this amp is expensive "but you get what you pay for"
buy a road case for it and protect your investment. Posted by Adrian Blaney - Lead guitarist of TRACENINE on Jan 28, 2013 | |||

| Metal Industry Standard. I owned, for a long time, a MK1 series 90's model dual rec. I tried this MK2 model and it has been changed quite a bit, for the better! It has a decent clean channel now,plus the multiwatt assignable feauture. I think it sounds better than the one I owned, try one and see for yourself. Posted by Metal Boy77 on Sep 21, 2012 | |||

| Originally picked up a 2009 model on a blowout sale but then was informed that the new 2010-2011 "Reborn (MKII)" models had a few more options, improved sound and were available with the Black Jute front panel. Returned the old one and paid the difference. Best decision I've made. Better overall tone and big improvements to the clean channel. New 3x2 footswitch is easier to place in a pedal board as well. Product had to be special ordered but was flawless when I got it. Very happy. Posted by Leon on Apr 15, 2011 | |||
