Very similar to my ears. The 99 recto has a touch more of that Recto fizz in the presence / high top. While the 50th Recto seems a bit more aggressive, and maybe a little cleaner in the sizzle department. Both sound really good actually.

 

[dead-pan]

I do prefer the 99 but the 50th does have a bigger aggressive tone. The 99 is tighter to play.

 

[Mr. Chainsaw]

The 50th sounds a bit "fuller" to me, but overall prefer the '99. Both do sound good. Mesa cab?

Yep, Mesa 2x12.

 

[Tone Monster]

I keep waiting for someone to do a video like this but use the same tubes in each head.

 

[johnny q]

I owned a '99 that I sold to a forum member. I have the 2010 Reborn now.

This was a great sounding comparison. I was surprised how similar they sound. Both great!

 

[Nigel]

What tubes were in each?

‘19 sounds mushy, ‘99 sounds right.

 

[dead-pan]

Added a 1995 Dual Rec to the OP.

‘19 sounds mushy, ‘99 sounds right.

The 19 was stock tubes but the 99 has a various. This will effect things but the clips really do show the differences well.

For me, not much in it though. The 90's ones sound a bit more aggressive, 50th is more refined and a bit tamer. 95 sounded slightly tubbier than the 99

 

[stephen sawall]

They sound more the same than different.

 

[Nigel]

They sound more the same than different.

They sound like inexpensive modern tubes and overbias.

 

[dead-pan]

Added a Bad Cat Lynx mkii to the OP. Great amp.

 

[dead-pan]

Added an Armored Sabot v3.

 

[dead-pan]

Added a Fortin Meshuggah:
