Here's what Mesa Boogie say about the Recto-verb 25
Introducing the Recto-Verb Twenty-Five Head. This is a Reverb-endowed, cousin of our little Mini Rectifier lunchbox that’s been taking names all over the globe. This mighty package is slightly larger – just big enough to accommodate a long-spring Reverb tank in the case of the head. It boast all the same great performance that the Mini Rec is famous for and more.
We keep saying it, but it’s hard to overstate the value, effectiveness and stylistic “power” of the Multi-Watt Channel Assignable Power switches. These dedicated wattage range choices unveil different power characteristics and colors – so they are really power “voicing” switches as well.
In this Recto, the choice of EL-84 power tubes with their amazing clip characteristics, prompted us to explore the different wiring schemes possible. This experimentation led to the 10-Watt Power Mode being wired for Triode operation. This “more vintage” wiring scheme sweetens and rounds out the sound, turning what might otherwise be a lower volume version of the same voice, into more “soulful” Recto experience.
The 25-Watt setting delivers a bold attack, tight tracking low end, increased definition and all out headroom. This setting works great with all the sounds and certainly showcases the mightiness in this little Rectifier, shocking unsuspecting players and bystanders alike with power and sonic size. But any time you need to tame this little beast and put a vintage patina of warmth and silkiness around things… kick down to 10-Watts and enjoy a whole new and different world of Recto expression.
