This Versatile Combo Packs Sweet-sounding Spring Reverb

Awesome tube tone is yours with the Mesa/Boogie Recto-Verb Twenty-Five guitar combo amp. Two independent channels give you incredible sonic flexibility. Thanks to Mesa/Boogie's patented Multi-Watt Channel Assignable Power Amp, you can switch between 25-watt and 10-watt operation for each channel. Use the Recto-Verb Twenty-Five's 10-watt mode for lush, liquid tone and smooth feel, and the 25-watt setting for incredible power, punch, and clarity. And with a sweet sounding, tube-driven spring reverb onboard, iconic tone is one strum away with the Mesa/Boogie Recto-Verb Twenty-Five.

Mesa/Boogie Recto-Verb Twenty-Five Tube Combo Amplifier at a Glance:
  • Dyna-Watt technology gives you tonal versatility with 10-watt or 25-watt operation
  • Built-in spring reverb for classic electric guitar tones
  • Built in the USA to rock hard - and reliably
Dyna-Watt technology gives you tonal versatility with 10-watt or 25-watt operation

With the Mesa/Boogie Recto-Verb Twenty-Five set to 10-watt operation, you get the cranked-tube-amp sound at lower volume levels. It feels pleasantly liquid yet responsive with lush harmonics. In 25-watt mode, the Recto-Verb Twenty-Five packs all the punch, power, and clarity you'd expect from a modern Mesa/Boogie amp. And thanks to Mesa/Boogie's patented Multi-Watt Channel Assignable Power Amp, you can set each channel to whatever wattage you prefer.

Built-in spring reverb for classic electric guitar tones

There's an incredibly sweet tube-driven spring reverb in the Recto-Verb Twenty-Five, and that's not even the best part. Each channel has its own reverb level, so you're not restricted to the same reverb setting for both channels.

Built in the USA to rock hard - and reliably

Mesa/Boogie has been hand-building some of the most sought after guitar gear in Petaluma, California since the late '60s. Early fans of Mesa/Boogie gear include Carlos Santana and Keith Richards, guitarists whose tones have been chased by countless musicians for years. When you plug into the Recto-Verb Twenty-Five, you're tapping into decades of innovation. Especially if you're a regularly gigging musician, you'll appreciate the top-notch sound and construction you get in the Recto-Verb Twenty-Five.

Mesa/Boogie Recto-Verb Twenty-Five Tube Combo Amplifier Features:
  • All-tube guitar combo amp with switchable 25-watt or 10-watt operation
  • 2 independent channels, each with their own tone controls, wattage switch, and reverb amount
  • 1 x 12" Celestion Vintage 30 speaker

Excellent Choice

Great amp! Great sound, sure works for what I'm doing, rocking out in the living room.
Rated 5/5

One of the best combo!

I had many many many combo included mesa california tweed 40, two rock sp35: it's very good with plenty of headrooom. But the punch of this little beast in clean, crunch od and disto is unbeatable. It's good at very low volume and not boxy. It's incredible how good for the size. No noises! It takes pedals very well. One of the best! It kill blues junior, hor rod, koch studiotone, toneking gremlin, marshall 2525C, jcm 800 4210, jvm....
Rated 5/5

This amp is a little beast!

Purchased from elsewhere, but thought I'd chime in and say this little amp is a total beast. You can cover pretty much any type of music with this amp. It isn't cheap for its size, but worth every penny.

Amazing

This amp is truly amazing. I have owned a lot of amps over the years: Fenders, Vox, Marshalls and some others. This amp can do clean sounds better than my Fenders. And can also do dirty sounds heavier than my Marshals. It can also sound like the Rolling Stones and everything in between. I had tried a Mesa Boogie Mark IV years before, but it was super complicated and hard to use. This amp has simple controls like a Fender, but can do it all in amazing fashion. The reverb sounds fantastic as well. If there's anything else that can do all this in a small package, I have never found it anywhere else. If I had to sell them all of my amps and keep only one, this would be the one.

Mesa Boogie Recto-Verb

After much research I decided to move to a Mesa Boogie amp to allow me a bit more versatility performing different types of songs. The Recto-Verb was ultimately my choice and I was immediately impressed with the sound and tone. Having been a loyal Marshall guy for as long as I can remember, the Mesa truly impressed and is exactly what I need from clean to over-driven. Definitely happy with my decision. My only complaint would be that the single switch footswitch could be improved to switch between all modes instead of just the two channels.
Music background: Professional Musician

It's hard to imagine a more quintessentially modern guitar amplifier than a Mesa/Boogie, and when Sweetwater guitarists want high-gain tone, Mesa is where they start. One thing we love about these amps is their sheer versatility, such as the massive range of tone you get from each channel, the freedom to use the tubes you love, onboard CabClone cabinet emulation, and MIDI control. And it's not just guitar amps - Mesa/Boogie's bass amps and pedals are equally cool. What's more, thanks to our incredibly close relationship with Mesa, you can even customize your own amp right here on Sweetwater's website! Get the sound and style you want from your next amp, with a Mesa/Boogie from Sweetwater.
