Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier Trem-O-Verb Head Tremoverb-Modded Loop-Fully Tested

Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier Trem-O-Verb Head - Modded Loop.  Fully tested, in excellent operating condition and sounds great, some very minor cosmetic wear from normal use. Includes power cable and manual on CD. An outstanding amp that delivers that big Mesa tone.

The Tremoverb was the flagship of the Mesa/Dual Rectifier line for years and was widely used on lots of staple rock and metal albums throughout the 1990's and 2000's. It's a huge sounding amp, filled with classic Boogie tones from Blackface-style cleans, to chunky high-gain rhythm chock full of low-end girth, to the classic searing Boogie high-gain lead tone. In addition, the reverb is great and adds nice shimmer to clean stuff and a smoothness to higher gain stuff, especially leads. It really gives the sounds in this amp a different dimension than any other Rectifier model. I happen to like Tremolo as well, although it's not for everyone. The "Blues" mode along with the tube driven tremolo circuit breaks new ground as far as Boogie tones go, as it's got a great classic rock-y, mid-rangey delta blues type thing going on that previously wasn't really in the Mesa/Boogie repertoire. And even then you're still just a stomp away from huge chunky palm mutes and soaring lead tones that Boogies are known for.

- 100 watt head
- Selectable bias switch for EL-34's or 6L6's (currently running 6L6)
- Selectable Tube or Solid State rectifier
- Spongy/Bold variac switch which makes your pick attack more bold/aggressive, or vintage/spongy, really has a big effect on your perception of how notes jump off the fretboard under your fingers
- 2 channels (red and orange), 4 modes: Clean, Vintage Hi Gain (orange channel), and Blues, Modern Hi Gain (red channel)
- Independent and switchable Reverb and Tremolo for each channel
- Footswitchable effects loop with several functions/options: the loop can be bypassed completely and taken out of the circuit, can be set to run with just one channel or the other, or can be set to always on/active with both channels.
- Loop Active Master: a global master volume control when effects loop is on. Can be used as a Solo boost (set this knob higher than your channel masters and turn on effects loop for volume boost, turn off effects loop to go back to normal volume as set on the channel masters). Also can be used as an always-on, traditional master volume allowing you to get the big high gain sound down to bedroom levels.
-Channel Cloning: Put as simply as possible, you can make the amp's 2 channels "trade" sounds. Here's how it works: let's say your favorite sounds on the amp are found within only one of the channels. Using the red channel (aka channel 2) as an example, let's say your bread and butter rhythm sound is Blues mode, but you can't live without Modern for leads and heavier stuff. Since they are both modes of the same channel, you cannot footswitch between those two sounds. You can only footswitch between one channel or the other, and each channel can only run in one of the modes at a time. Under normal operation, you have to pick either Blues or Modern as your sound for channel 2 and live with it. Channel cloning allows you to basically copy/paste the Blues mode to channel 1, and keep Modern as the default sound for channel 2. Since Blues mode is cloned to channel 1, and channel 2 is left on Modern, now you can footswitch between Blues and Modern. The same applies to the modes of channel 1: Clean and Vintage Hi Gain. You can "clone" the "Vintage" mode to channel 2, and then footswitch between Clean and Vintage. One of the niftiest features on the amp.
