got my rectoverb!! [a pic story] ** gut shots added**

so i got my sexy ass rectoverb yesterday.
in the style of ss.org's picture stories, here's a the unpacking and a few nice shots.

review below as well

i came in on saturday to find this box in my living room (the wife brought it in)

check out all that tape!



these pussy scissors just won't do...


time to get serious!


oh, why hello thar!


top shot, check out this packing!


double boxed with styrofoam between each one! serious shit right chere


some of the packing material came out with it, puppy investigates


all black, just how i like my ladies.


sexy back shot and some goodies!


mmmm tubey goodness


puppy says "smells like reverb to me".


my little helper also checking out the footswitch and free chorus pedal included


now time to ship this little fucker off.


and a parting shot.




ok so..a few things to say about it.

first and foremost WOW jackbootedthug was more than a pleasure to work with. constant communication (always a good thing while dealing on the web), great packing and a great deal (like i said, he included a free pedal! heh). last night he even called me to make sure everything was ok withit and that i liked it, what a cool guy!

now, the amp!
holy shit. that's all i say when i turn it on. it sounds great (all 4 modes) it really can do beautiful cleans, great pushed bluesy sounds and of course the brewtal metalz.
did i mention this little fucker is loud?!
i took her to practice today and everyone loved it , she hung well with the other guitarists triple recto.

so, yeah i'm more than happy with it and i'd suggest everyone atleast try one out (even the recto haters).

Looks awesome man. Cute puppy too. :2thumbs:

I want your dog

That was great Nick!!!!!!

Good stuff man!

Cute dog. Singles are great amps. Enjoy.

Eddie likes playing in boxes too

heh, he's a cool pup. only about 3 months old. hell of a pedigree though
his mother is half dachshund and half chihuahua and his father is a jack russell terrier

pure hell

nice edit, btw pepi

nice :twisted:


that screw sticking up in the chassy for the reverb?

i have no clue, i meant to investigate what the deal with that was..but i've been too busy playing it!

LMAO @ Eddie

Very nice Rectoverb, btw!

never had the chance to stack two heads at once...quite awesome


standard side shot



i've got a few more sexy ones to share..i'll just have to get around to it later...

btw the XXL is for sale...hit me uP!

one day i'll stop posting pics...in the mean time, check out the sexiness

GUTS!










check it out, directions depending on if it's a head or the combo and a copyright date. is this the year my amp was made?




and the serial. anyone able to tell me about the amp from this?

I was expecting crazy guts. Thats rather simple. Last mesa I was in was a roadking and man did that have a lot going on!!! Killer pics. Got any clips of it yet? I love the look of these and the tremoverbs (whats the difference in the btw?) over the look of regular recto's.

nah no clips, i don't have good mic recording capabilities...maybe some day

i think the only diff on the rectoverbs and tremoverbs are that rectoverbs are single rectos and with reverb
tremoverbs are dual rectos with tremolo and reverb

generally they seem to be a tad more flexible from what i understand.

hows the bottom end vs a regular recto?

infinitely better to my ear.

the other guitarist in my band has a triple recto and his low end is pretty mushy. i remember the first guy i ever jammed with that had a recto, his low end sounded like ass. could just be their settings though...

i will say though, i think my peavey xxl has a thumpier (is that a word?) low end especially at low volumes. but with some volume the rectoverb is just crushing

The one transformer in your pics is noticeably smaller than what I've seen in Duals and Triples.

The Triples I've played have always had a fairly tight and strong bottom end due to the increased headroom from the power section.
