What is it about a Rev f you guys love so much ? I truly don’t get it . Maybe I just expected way too much. Would you post some of the best rev f clips here for me . I’m open minded still

I honestly think this has more to do with taking a rare ish collector amp and gutting it. Not if one sounds better or worse than the other. There’s already a limited number of these out in the wild and while the hermansson stuff is killer doing this to a rare ish already iconic sounding amp just doesn’t make sense.

Reza posted this clip from mark lewis like a month ago of a rev f that sounds pretty killer to me.

That is a great sounding clip...But not a true raw recto clip. I hear a boost and quite a bit of studio polish.

There are a whole lotta boost and post on that sample.
If that Triple is the same one that Mark bought from me for the guitar player from White Chapel, that's the best sounding triple rectifier I've ever heard. I have the chance to own three and had the opportunity to try at least four other ones that I remember. That was the best sounding one of all Triple I've heard. That's the amp used on most rhythm guitars on the White Chapel album recorded right after they bought that amp. That's how good that amp is.
However, I still had my Duals Rev E and Rev C during the same time I owned that Triple F, and both the E and C sounded better in every way. Both the Rev C and E were serviced at the Mesa Store when I got them, and the Triple was sent to Mike B for servicing. So, they all had the same type of tubes, and they were all in the best working condition. Still, the C and E literally ate the Triple F in every way. The only thing the Triple F had more than the two Duals was volume.
That's why I sold the Rev F Triple. I do regret selling the E a year after I sold the the F, but never regretted selling that Triple. The C however, it's going to be buried with me.

Cmon man, you can't say 'well how about a clip' then someone posts a clip, it sounds great, then there's excuses about 'why' it sounds great??
Silliness.

Well, you like a Mark III more than a C+, and for the life of me I'll never understand that one. I've had a bunch of 2Bs, and they slay the Mark III in every way, to my ear. And a C+ destroys a 2B.
Honestly I'd rather play a kazoo than a Mark III. So I don't understand why anyone would prefer a Mark III for anything..harsh city. Ugh.
But we all have our own ears and like what we like.

for me its not about the tone, its just cutting up a desired amp there arent many of. its the same with car guys, if you want to build a restomod corvette or mustang with a modern driveline and suspension and all that shit, do it to one of the baseline models out there, not the stingray or shelby there are very few of

Not certain who you are talking to..
or about, but I didn't ask for a clip. It does sound great. I made that clear. I simply stated (as others have) that it is boosted on the front, and what sounds like a lot of post on the back. Where is the silliness?

Gotta be honest. I regretted doing that to a rev F. Wanted it to be stock again. But sold it instead and went looking for a stock F but couldn’t find one. Glad I got the D now.

Well, it seems silly that the prevailing thought on this forum is 'clips clips clips!!' then when a clip is posted, and it sounds good, there's detractors that seem to respond with 'but but it's got this and that going on so it's not a real clip!' or whatever...
I apologize if I misread your post.
But, if a clip is of a certain amp, and it sounds good, who cares how it was produced.
Was it an F? Yes.
Was it good? Yes.
That's all.

what studio polish are you hearing?? i always see guys saying this here with youtubers and demos and i never really understand. to me it just sounds like a well played and well mic'd and dialed in left and right track. i do tons of processing on my drums and bass, guitars though at least for me its a little eq to fit the song and thats really about it. even if its eq'd a little, i dont hear a bunch of layering or delays and reverbs that i wouldnt call it raw.
 
Those early Rectos are getting vintage and rare. There are only 10 years between a JCM800 2203 (which is considered vintage) and a RevF. And much more Marshalls were made but only like 3.5k of those early Recto revisions.
If you are going for a Hermansson mod, using one of the new 3 channels should get you there much easier
 
You guys act like he’s destroyed hundreds of old Rectos lol.

Who actually cares this much about someone else’s property?

It's gotten to the point where the vintage Mesas are now the new vintage Marshalls....taking an early 70s JMP and modding the shit out of it is only acceptable, if it's already been hacked. At least per the internet.

I stand corrected...That definitely sounds like a raw, un-produced Mesa Recto track. Sounds very similar to a recto in the room, straight in.

Yeah, I get wanting to mod since it's your amp in the first place....but the original ones are hard to come by. Personally, I'd always look for a cut up Marshall to mod since they're usually cheaper anyway
