I was blessed by X to witness King's X for the first time at 15 years old, opening for Pearl Jam. While PJ stole the show (Vs. tour!), the second time I saw them, King's X was headlining a club tour for Dogman. Ty's rectifiers sounded like God, and I mean it. A friend was with me that night who's mother had been a crackhead during her pregnancy. As a result, my friend, a young girl, never expressed any emotion. Something weird with her brain. She and her boyfriend threw raves and had access to high quality MDMA, and she couldn't even "Roll." It was that bad.

King's X played "Over My Head" and we watched in amazement as tears flooded down her face. Great tone in the right hands can magically heal people. It's the feeling it makes that heals, and probably why we are all so obsessed with it. There was something truly holy about the Mesa Dual Rectifier with their OS 4x12 and T4335 speakers that allowed for altered (higher vibration/consciousness) states of expression.

Kings X - Dogman album, specifically Black the Sky and Pillow
Dream Theater - Train of Thought album
Early 2000s Foo Fighters
Incubus - Make Yourself
Alter Bridge - Blackbird
Soundgarden - Down on the Upside

I realize after typing this that most of my favorites are Vintage/Orange mode hit with a boost of some kind.

Honorable mentions to the Nickleback, Godsmack, and Creed stuff. I think that is the rectifier tone in most people's head though.

Absolutely, spot on correct. I'd add Vernon Reid's tone from "Stain" too, as well as At the Drive-In's "Relationship of Command," and 311's "Blue" and "Transistor albums."

I love the guitar to tones for Korn, but I just can't really stand to listen to the songs anymore. I guess it was just a highschool thing

 

[SonVolt]

I know it's a blend, but I hear way more Recto than Superlead on Undertown.

Pretty sure blues legend Squirtin' Myrtle McFail played a recto.

You're confusing him with Jebediah "Hollerin' Sodomy" and his famous gonorrhea git fiddlin

 

[Techdeth]

I’m listening to these now on decent headphones

 

[Techdeth]

I like this but it’s really dark . But it does sound cool for this song

 

[Techdeth]

Is this road king right ?

 

[Techdeth]

This is an a Diezel Herbert with a Bogner Uberschall . This is peak time right here . I’m not a huge Godsmack fan but when this comes on radio it just pounds with bass and crisp clear highs .

Our blues legend back and forths were, uh, legendary! I need to find that thread.

Agreed!

Also

I'm sure there are tons of great records with dual recs on them.

There just aren't any posted in this thread

 

[harddriver]

Nevermore

I always thought it was Recto too. Looks like Loomis is Engl on the left and Kranks on the right live, this show was 2008, in some cuts it looks like recto's on Loomis's side.

So msny great tech death bands used Engl Powerball 1 and got some great tones . Especially Beyond Creation . The amp gets shot in but was used for some great tones . Seeing Engl made me think of this lol

 

[Tone Monster]

Kirk's Rhythm tone on Load and Reload (right channel) are killer. Blended with Marshalls yes, but retains that recto growl.

I believe you are right. Road King, Lonestar, and perhaps some IIC/"Nunya"/ triaxis stuff as well. The road rig and videos though were Road King for drive sounds and Lonestar for cleans.
