Favorite non boosted rectifier tones

[valve]

i cant pick a favorite soundgarden album. i cant say the the older albums are better overall, but all my favorite songs are on the old albums like smokestack lightning and beyond the wheel.

Well there is a live version of "beyond the wheel" on the Black hole sun single that puts the album version to shame!
If you don't know that one you are in for a treat
Thats OT, no rectifier hear!:



I have every album but superunknown is clearly the best one to me.
The sound on Down on under is a bit to warm and not heavy enough sounding for my taste.
Nothing can touch Superunknown production wise and also as a album as whole.
Badmotorfinger is killer too and even heavier, but the guitars sound like a cheap Peavy amp or something.

Here's Ty playing live in 1994 on the Jon Stewart show. You can see the Mesa cabinets but I don't see the heads but in all interviews he said it was a Dual Rectifier.

this is the best version ive heard, as much as i love Soundgarden i always thought Cornell was pretty underwhelming live but he certainly was on his game this night

Not really a big fan of the band, but I remember the Recto tones on Breaking Benjamin's "we are not alone" record being pretty impressive in a dry, undergained hard rock kind of way.

Funny enough, there’s actually no Recto on that album. It was primarily a H&K Triamp and Marshall TSL 100 with a little Soldano tossed in.

I was in a band doing rock similar to the era and we played a show or two with a band that had just come out of the studio with David Bendeth right after he’d finished the Breaking Benjamin album. We chatted gear and all that jazz. They were using a Soldano Hot Rod and JCM 800 straight in, no boost. Nice guys and good band. They were a couple of years ahead of us and way more polished than we were at the time. Don’t remember their name, but I think they shifted to country after the whole post grunge scene faded from popularity and ended up having some hits on the country charts.

Non-boosted Recto tones? Hmm. Definitely Soundgarden “Superunknown.” Tremonti’s tone on “Human Clay” suited the songs perfect.

Glad you like it, or did you know it before?
I didn't see him often enough (2 times) to make such a statement.
His voice definitely suffered over the years.

Here’s one I love . Big fat and different

I was just gonna say that. Superunknown is a great album with a killer tone.

So unique of a song too . Soundgarden using dynamics to capture contrast each other
