Mesa Recto-Verb 25 Dual Rectifier Combo For Sale - £1295 ono

JamesDad · September 2018

For sale is my Mesa Recto-Verb 25 Dual Rectifier Combo

“They say:

The sister of the little Mini Rectifier lunchbox head, the Twenty-Five combo comes equipped with a 12" Fillmore 75 Speaker squeezed in to this compact package as well as a long-spring Reverb tank to give the incredible sound and performance that the Mini Rectifier is known for! The tube driven reverb adds to the already stunning tone making this a really versatile amp which guitarists who favour a lower gain sound will adore, yet it is still capable of capturing the heavier authentic trademark Recto-Verb sounds!

With the four modes – Clean/Pushed on Channel 1 and Vintage/Modern on Channel 2 -, a variety of tones are easily within reach from this portable, brilliant sounding package which will suit players of all styles!”

As you can see from the pictures (I have more available on request), this is in almost mint condition, having only been used at home and never gigged. I’m only asking for £1295 and with new prices for the black version currently ranging from £1615 (GuitarGuitar and GAK), this is an ideal time to grab yourself a bargain.

I have played a wide variety of amps over the past 35 years and this has been my favourite, both for sound and versatility. So, why am I now selling? Basically, I have decided to go digital (Line 6 Helix + speaker), as this will give me the sounds I want at a more bedroom-friendly volume, and it’s a shame for this excellent amp to be sat in a cupboard, when it should be getting used.

Also included are the original cover, footswitch, manual and other paperwork which came with it.
