View this description in French

The Mesa Boogie Recto-Verb Twenty Five Combo is the reverb-equipped iteration of Boogie's legendary Mini Rectifier lunchbox head, packed in a marine-grade Baltic birch cab and paired with a Fillmore 75 Speaker. Featuring a tube-driven, long spring reverb, the Recto-Verb adds a lush ambience and classic styling to the incredibly versatile sounds of the Mini Rectifier head. With EL84 valves in the power amp and a super-compact aluminium chassis, the Recto-Verb Twenty Five packs in the real preamp circuit from the iconic Dual Rectifier amplifier, and matches it with Mesa's own Fillmore 75 speaker for the ultimate in portable, powerhouse tone. The Recto-Verb has two completely independent, foot-switchable channels, each featuring its own voicing switch. While channel 1 covers clean and edge-of-breakup territory with Clean and Pushed modes, channel 2 unleashes the full power of the 12AX7 preamp valves for '80s and contemporary overdrive sounds with its Vintage and Modern voicings. If that wasn't enough, each channel is also assignable from 10 watts to 25 watts, letting you dial in the perfect response and headroom level. A buffered serial effects loop lets you integrate your pedals with a pure signal, while the compact aluminium chassis, marine-grade birch cabinet, and legendary Mesa Boogie build quality with fitted slip cover make the Recto-Verb ready to hit the stage. Make no mistake, this amp features no modelling, emulation, or imitation; the Recto-Verb is the real deal, giving you compact access to the legendary tones of the Dual Rectifier that have helped countless players make their mark on stage and in the studio.

The Real Deal

The Mesa Boogie Recto-Verb Twenty Five is the reverb-equipped partner to the compact lunchbox head, the Mini Rectifier. Both amps feature the exact same preamp design as the iconic Dual Rectifier, giving you two channels of pure, tonal versatility. The Recto-Verb gives you completely authentic access to the legendary tones of the Dual Rectifier, with a lower volume and warmer response courtesy of its EL84 power tubes. The Combo format amp features a marine-grade Baltic birch cab and Phillmore 75 speaker, making it the ultimate portable gigging and recording amplifier.

Twin Channel - Multiple Voices

The Recto-Verb Twenty Five features two channels, each with completely independent EQ to sculpt your tone. Each channel also has a voicing switch to select the ideal gain level per channel. Channel 1 has Clean and Pushed modes for pristine cleans and edge-of-breakup overdrives while channel 2 features Vintage and Modern modes. Modern has a powerful and articulate sound for tight riffing and saturated solos, while Vintage is a rather deceptive name; providing '80s-style high-gain sounds for a British-style response.

Genre-Hopping Versatility

Between the 2 channels, the Recto-Verb is an incredibly versatile amp, just like its parent amplifier, the Dual Rectifier. While the Dual Rec and the Mini Rec have a strong affinity with rock and metal players, both amps are incredibly versatile and can provide tones for any genre. The Recto-Verb features the same tonal versatility, paired with stylish aesthetics and a more classic design.

Multi-Watt Settings & Phillmore 75 Speaker

Both channels feature a 10/25-watt switch, letting you create the ideal volume level and headroom characteristics. 10-watt mode uses triode operation with a vintage-style nuance and a sweet, round tone. 25 watts opens up the full potential of the EL84 valves and gives a bold attack with tighter low-end tracking. Between the two levels, you can dial in the perfect response for high-headroom cleans, articulate riffing, early-breakup vintage drive tones, and compressed solo tones. The Mesa Boogie Phillmore 75 speaker took many months of development time and is the perfect complement to the versatility of the Recto-Verb's preamp/power-amp.

Connectivity, Reverb & Rugged Build Quality

A buffered FX loop lets you connect your pedals with great clarity. This is paired with a warm-sounding, tube-driven reverb circuit to add in a lush ambience to your tone. The marine-grade Baltic birch cab gives road-worthy durability and the amplifier comes complete with a footswitch and fitted slip case.

Reviews

Guitarist Magazine gave the Recto-Verb Combo 4.5 stars out of 5:

"PROS: Forensic attention to detail. Stunning tones...

With plenty of volume to handle most small-to-medium unmic'd gigs.. the Recto-Verb Twenty- Five can handle just about any guitar demand, from country to blues to metal mayhem."
