Charvel Model 1 emg 81 - Bad monkey as a clean boost - Aphex 101 Exciter / Marshall 1960 -75s

Sounds great. Nice riffing too. Did you purchase it or just trying it.

 

[JackBootedThug]

i like running the treble on zero and then adjusting the presence....

Love me some Recto.

They have a very aggressive growl. If you boost them to tighten them up. Golden.

 

[Gibsonchild]

Sounds killer!

 

[TheGreatGreen]

Sounds great.

I've never liked Rectos by themselves, but if you use a bass cutting boost and go really easy on the Treble and Presence knobs, they will give you some of the best high gain sounds possible. They're also incredibly versatile. Something to note, the diamond plate paints it into such a narrow corner but they can do just about everything with the right pre and post EQ. I love mine.

Thx man! Just testing for the first time! The studio owner has had it for years

Sounds killer man! You’ve definitely got it dialed in like an old pro.

Thx dude! Yeah I love that tone - the bad monkey + aphex rule!

Enjoy your time with the beast...Rectos are vicious when boosted and dialed in. I was always hesitant buying a Recto or any Mesa because how much I read on forums where people complain about how hard they are to dial. Glad I finally tried a bunch of Mesas because the tones can be awesome and I never had any trouble dialing them in quickly.

My dual rect I own is my fav out of all the ones I've owned. Truly a special amp model from mesa. Words can't describe how much I love rectifiers.

man that sounds sick, im not even sure ive played my triple through my 1960, im gonna have to try that tomorrow

Great video! I definitely want to grab a Mesa but not sure whether I should grab a rectifier, Mark V or JP-2C. Hard to know what would overlap tone-wise with the other heads I own.

Rectos can be great and have a sound no other amp can get. You just have to know how to EQ them and add a boost. The sound isn't for everyone of course.

Not only did that sound great, but you played March of the S.O.D. That is a win for me =D.

Not much overlap with many other amps when talking Rectos IMHO. I've owned many amps and nothing sounds like a Recto.

Would that apply more so to the Rectifier series or also to the Mark V and JP-2C?

Your Triple sounds really good through a 1960B.

Mesas seem to NOT be picky about speakers; unlike Marshalls which can. Any Mark/Recto I've owned sounds killer through any and all cabs I own.

I've never played a JP-2C but have owned a MKIII green stripe, Blue stripe, and loop modded Mark IIB. There are other amps IMO that get that type of sound. The Recto however, nothing I've owned or played does the Recto thing. The KSR Ares had some Recto in it's tone I feel....almost like a more modern, tighter Dual Recto kind of.
