Favorite non boosted rectifier tones

Love the Album and the tone!
It's a dual rectifier mixed with a Marshall 1987x, according to Beinhorn.
The "hottest" PU used might be the HB-1s in the Guild S-100

I thought the rectifier mixed with 87x was the clean tone ?

Don't know, could be! Or left/right?
Definitely hear more Mesa than anything else for the dirty rhythm.
Always loved the tone and still do.
Listening to "Like suicide" right know:love:

That’s a great album as well. They got really crazy with the tunings on that one. They were still in their prime. Really bummed me out when they disbanded after that.
 
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.
 
I known most people are into the boost and overdrive pedals. I like them too. But often prefer plugged directly into the amp. I don't always want the bass tight.

they both have their place for sure. even in my tech chuggy band, we have passages where i have the boost off and just use that channel for a heavy crunch or roll back for a light crunch, which i think the rectos also excel at..

OP- I always heard eric Peterson from testaments' tone in the early mid-2000's was a 2 channel unboosted recto with emg's..
 
Eric Peterson (Testament) gets some absolutely fierce rhythm tones out of his Triple Recs (Particularly on The Gathering). 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.

I remember trying really hard to get my Triple Rec to sound like Peterson's, but I just couldn't dial it in...Probably because I can't play like him. He really knew how to use that signature Recto grain and sizzle to his advantage.
