My absolute favorite Recto tone on an album release...Testament - The Gathering. What a great album!!! I believe they used a Triple Recto. Sounds massive! I love this tune in particular. That kick drum pattern during the verses is amazing!
According to Adam and Joel...here is a quote from an interview when asked about what was used for As Daylight Dies. I am sure they added in some 5150 or something else. I thought I read that Adam likes to mix and layer amps.

I'll have to give it a shot. Thanks for the heads up!
I have been using ML Soundlab's Amped Triple Rev G with great results. Always looking to try something new.

Owned a 20th Anniversary Ecstasy w/ 6L6s. It's one of my favorite amps ever. It is extremely versatile, very usable gain at high levels and the Bogner chew.
I LOVE that riff! I have been stuck on 90% playing that riff with the right amount of swing for over 30 years now. Eddie was special that way.
That being said, my favorite album tone of his is VH II.
I am in 100% agreement here. I have five and they all play and feel the way you described it. My first is still my #1. I plan to have it broken down and used in the making of my coffin when I die! :cool:(y)
