That's my old blueface, bought it new in 97'. Had it longer than any other amp I've ever used. Great amp! Wish I would've never sold it. :cry:
 
here's your chance to recover it! do you have newer one now? how do you find the blueface tone compared to a newer one, if any? i see he is running 6L6 tubes in it. that would account for some. what about the guy selling it, do you know him?

Wow, that serial number is only one digit off from mine! The long lost brother amp. :)
 
I am going for it.... I think... note to self... check bank account tomorrow :scared:

I'd love to have it back but don't really need it at the moment. I sold it to a good friend of mine and he sold it to the guy who's selling it on the bay.

Congrats if you get it! It's a great amp, Billy Howerdel helped me acquire it back it 97' and I plugged it in the first night at a gig, set the controls quickly and my jaw hit the floor. I was stunned at how good it sounded!
 
somebody got it. its gone....

same here with my VH4. channel 3, lots of gain, straight thru, no effects, two 4x12 cabs. don't get any better my friend. left it and the bogner over at the practice room. so, had to get out the dual recto today to noodle around with. damn things sounds like a solid state amp to me now and i thought this amp used to rock. i need to find it a good home.

Hey Steve!

Know exactlly what you mean! I use to have a Recto before I went to Diezel...never looked back man.
BUT, alot of issues with the Recto can be solved! If you switch both preamptubes, powertubes and rectifiertubes to better once than Mesa´s own, it will sound alot better! You can also do a bias-mod, the reason why the Recto sound so stiff and harsh is because it has a very low bias (cold bias if you want). So if you bias-mod it, it will sound tons better!
A friend of mine did just this, and I gotta say, I wanted it!! Sounded almost...bust just almost...as good as a Diezel but with a different carachter.
 
Looks like I am the new owner of this Blueface that is why I was double checking to see if the serail was 9700054 in the original auction.

The original buyer put it on Craigslist in Kansas City I found it by chance on a google search and bought it. He told me he got it in December on Ebay.
