OH. FOR. FUCKS. SAKE. Apparently, Gibson hasn't learned one fucking thing from the Mark IIC+ rollout debacle. COME ON, CESAR! WTF?!

Not to defend them, but they shot all the demos for both amps at the same time months ago, so yeah they weren't going be able to learn anything from the IIC+ RI launch.

Ugh, so you think the mic should be pointed at the speaker?! Of a 4x12 cab?! So we can actually hear **gags** detail and clarity in the highs?
Don't you know anything about good Blues tone?

I dunno, considering how the IIC+ Reissue thing went down, as well as the Mark VII press campaign before it, I think it's safe to say that Gibson's official demos give us less than zero useful info in any direction, good or bad.
If the usual suspects get it and still can't make it sound good, that's another story. But for now I remain fairly convinced the Recto Reissue is gonna be a good amp.
However I did raise an eyebrow pretty hard when that video talked about the Recto Reissue's "improved clean channel" because that shit could impact the Orange Modern mode, which worries me because the Orange Modern mode is easily as good and just as important as Red Modern on those amps, worth the price of admission alone. If they screw up Orange Modern so help me.

Will be nice to see some proper demos of this amp... Didn't Ola say he has one?

Mesa’s official manufacturer demos are terrible, but so are most other manufacturers. Rarely do I run across one that I like.
What they should all do is send them out to well known producers and engineers and pay them to make demos. Send a C+ RI to Bob Rock. Drop a Recto RI or Snorkler in the mail to Joe Barresi. Etc.

Making some ? now..
The thing about the C+ RI is if I didn't have OGs, I would be proud to have a RI. However, I have OGs so....
I've gone & sold all my Rectos so the Recto RI is more interesting to me. I could get a Triple MW that's about a month old for $2K so that's the comparison. Otherwise a good F would be a pretty similar price to a RI.

LOL what's his username here?
It's supposed to be somewhere close an 80 / 20 blend of Rev F / Rev G, respectively.

Hello, new to this forum. I was hoping for some info on a Dual Rectifier solo head I've had sitting in my storage unit for 30+ years. It has a serial number of R0227. It looks in pretty mint condition. I'm a drummer (hold jokes please) and am not sure where to list it, Reverb, eBay on a forum like this etc. Thank you for any suggestion and help.

Revision C rectifier I believe based on that serial (can confirm if you check the revision letter on the pcb).
Lots of money these days, check sold rev c rectos on reverb.
If it’s been unused for 30 years I wouldn’t turn it on, those filter caps may be dried out from so long being unused.
Headshell not original? Looks newer.

What doesn’t make any sense to me is there are so many main stream artists Mesa could ask to demo their amps that would probably also move a lot more units that they don’t seem to take advantage of. 
How many tool fanbois would cream their tighty- whities if they saw Adam Jones spanking one?
Another Gibby marketing dept snafu I guess?
