most commanding sounds in rack-mount history as Recto power goes stereo for the first time in this amazing package.
NOTE: BEFORE YOU MOUNT THE 2:100 IN YOUR RACK! This is an extremely aggressive and powerful amplifier intended for use
with one of the above mentioned MESA preamplifiers in large venues. If after trying it you feel you may have chosen more amp than
you need, you may find one of the more forgiving MESA strereo power amplifiers such as the Stereo 2:50 or the Stereo Simul-
Class2:90 more suited to your style or application. Save the packing material and keep the amplifier in perfect condition and you
should be able to return it to the place of purchase for full credit toward one of the less aggressive models that might perhaps better
suit your needs. If this stunning, agressive power well suits your playing style and needs, congratulations and by all means rock on.
And now on to the controls and features of your new 2:100. Please take some time along the way and read this operating manual,
it will prove to be quite worth while in the end and will help you to enjoy your new amplifier to its full extent.
