Hello from the Tone Farm... YOU, the smart player and all around intuitive human, have put your trust in us to be your amplifier company. This is something we do not take lightly. Our reward is that we've made a classic amplifier and by choosing this amplifier, you have become part of the MESA family.

PRECAUTIONS & W ARNINGS Your MESA/Boogie Amplifier is a professional instrument. Please treat it with respect and operate it properly. USE COMMON SENSE AND ALWAYS OBSERVE THESE PRECAUTIONS: YOUR AMPLIFIER IS LOUD! EXPOSURE TO HIGH SOUND VOLUMES MAY CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING DAMAGE ! No user serviceable parts inside.
P AGE 1 Overview: Congratulations on your choice of the RECTIFIER STEREO 2:100 as your power amplifier and welcome to the MESA/Boogie Family . This 2 rack space unit is born of legendary stock and traces its lineage to the mighty Dual Rectifier Solo H ead .
Overview: (Continued) Without further delay , connect up your favorite preamp and get ready to experience one of the most commanding sounds in rack-mount history as Recto power goes stereo for the first time in this amazing package.
P AGE 3 FRONT PANEL CONTROLS: (Continued) POWER SWITCH & POWER UP: First remove the protective covers from the tubes (plastic webbing) before con- necting the A.C. cord to a power receptacle. Make all necessary connections including pre-amp, ef fects, speakers and instrument before you flip the ST ANDBY switch to its ON position.
INPUTS: Located on the Rear Panel, these two 1/4” jacks are the Channel A and Channel B inputs for the 2:100. These are the inputs for pre-amps and/or effects, depending on how you have your system wired. Y ou may drive the 2:100 with your pre-amp directly or choose to come from the last ef fect in a chain and drive the power amp this way .
P AGE 5 TUBE BIAS: (Continued) We recommend the 6L6 for reliability: In our many tests and continued use of the currently available EL34 type power tubes on the market today , we regret to say that they do not appear to be as rugged in construction as the available 6L6 .
P AGE 6 SPEAKER OUTPUTS: (Continued) NOTE: If you opt to use only one channel of the 2:100 with speakers connected to that channel’s output only , you must turn the unused channel’s level control to zero! Otherwise the channel will be operating without a load, and damage to the tubes and/or the transformer will result.
P AGE 7 REAR PANEL (Continued) DRIVER TUBES: 3 x 12AX7A to grab hold of the particular pre-amp tube when replacement is required. Do not allow your fingers, hands or rings/jewelry to come into contact with any other part (s) of the amplifier ’ s internal circuitry .
P AGE 8 TUBE NOISE & MICROPHONICS Y ou may occasionally experience some form of tube noise or microphonics. Certainly no cause for alarm, this quirky behavior comes with the territory and the T one.
P AGE 9 DIAGNOSING PRE-AMP TUBE PROBLEMS: Because your amplifier is an all tube design, it is quite possible that you will at some point experience minor pre-amp tube noise. Rest assured - this is no cause for alarm and you can take care of the problem yourself in a matter of minutes by simply swapping tubes.
P AGE 10 An Article written by Randall Smith Here’s a question we often hear: “Why doesn’t MESA put bias adjustments in their amplifiers?” Well, there’ s a short answer and a long answer to this question.
P AGE 1 1 BIAS ADJUSTMENT: (Continued) V oltage and current are NOT the same. Current is the AMOUNT of electricity , the “quantity” — and is measured in amperes. V oltage is the degree of electric charge — like the “pressure” to use the old water analogy .
P AGE 12 BIAS ADJUSTMENT: (Continued) Again, this has some merit .. but it’s still not as good as using tubes that are matched in the first place because compensating for the mis-match causes the push-pull circuit itself to become unbalanced. T wo wrongs don’t really make a right.
P AGE13 SPEAKER IMPEDANCE MATCHING & HOOK-UP GUIDE: IMPEDANCE: Wiring up speakers to provide the most ef fective load and making sure that all of them are in phase will help in creating the best sound possible.
P AGE 14 SPEAKER IMPEDANCE MATCHING & HOOK-UP GUIDE: (Continued) PARALLEL: When wiring in parallel, the resistance of the speakers decreases. T wo 8 Ohm speakers wired in ( hooked-up ) Parallel results in a 4 Ohm load. It’ s easy to calculate the effect of a resistive load when all the speakers are all the same resistance.

P AGE 21 ON TRIODES, PENTODES & IRISHMEN: A look into the inner workings of the V acumm T ube With apologies to Friends and Relatives from the Emerald Isle - who will make their appearance soon enough - the humor which follows is dedicated to the memories of Spec McAulif f and Fae (Rafael) McNally , two of the T rue Greats.
P AGE 22 ON TRIODES, PENTODES & IRISHMEN: ( Continued ) Thus a diode tube - one with a cathode and an anode - is mostly used to rectify alternating current into direct current by passing it withou.
