The Dual Rectifier has finally been revamped after all these years. For the longest time, people have been asking for two things -- Change the effects loop and make it tighter/less buzzy. They've done both with this amp, making it one of the ultimate rectifiers that Mesa offers. It features all the great features of the former Dual Rectifier, but this now has an improved effects loop, multi-watt selection, and probably more things I'm forgetting.
UTILIZATION
Mesa really outdid themselves with this amp. The features on this make it a truly versatile amp that should be great for nearly any style of music. You still need to know how the Mesa EQ works, but the manual does an awesome job at explaining everything. Mesa/Boogie manuals tend to be some of the best in the business. The effects loop is one of the much welcomed features of this amp. It's finally usable without a killdry.
SOUNDS
The sound is the category that everybody wants to know. Yes, the amp is much improved compared to the last one. It's tighter, and it's not as harsh as the last one. Where as the last one can get both flubby and a bit too bitey at times, this one is both tight and thick. My favorite way of running the amp is with a boost. This makes it even tighter and is great for that technical riffing. However, it's not just for metal. This amp is versatile enough to do most any style from blues riffing to some pretty decent midgain tones.
OVERALL OPINION
If you're on the market for a new amp, be sure to check this out. If you didn't like the last one, at least give this a try. Don't forget to boost the lead channel as well. The added versatility, improved effects loop and improved tone really make this like an improved Pre-500 Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier.
