Ok what’s the best recorded Recto tone

[shredhead7]

Nevermore

This. Dead Heart still sounds amazing.

Dunno about "only Recto."
My fav Recto tones were always blended with a Marshall.
Tool and Soundgarden, specifically.
I assume Korn was all Recto.
I think Woody from COC has been only Recto forever. But my fav tunes had Pepper in the mix with his .50 Cal +, which can be quite Marshally.

You're probably going to find some late 90s, early 2000s answers. Like Incubus.

Deliverance and Wiseblood have absolutely stellar guitar tones.

Enchant - Most of their discography
John Arch - A Twist of Fate
Fates Warning - Most of their discography

Deliverance tones are so raw
And mid heavy. Doesn’t sound like a recto at all…

Woody has always used his trusty Dual Rec, and Pepper used a .50cal+ for those albums. Probably an SG with Invaders is key too. Honestly their best tones. Later on when they switched to Orange sounds more muddy IMO.

I guess I’m hearing the .50 cal tone the most. Thx for the info

Killer album. Got into them in 1999 after seeing them open up for Mercyful Fate. Bought Dreaming Neon Black, and Dead Heart came out not long after.

Last 2 times I saw them live they both played Orange. I heard no mud, just loud as fuck!

Those and Americas Volume Dealer are my favs.

I like AVD too, just that the production suffered from what I'm pretty sure are electronic drums. Guitars still sound great.

I’ve never understood why Corrosion of Conformity isn’t more popular than they are. Pepper has great vocals. They write good songs. They have a raw sound which I like, but maybe that’s not popular.

 

[311boogieman]

Saliva has great guitar tone imo as @Dale B said

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

That explains why I like the guitar tone so much on these albums.

and 311's "Blue" and "Transistor albums."

Lately I've been jammin out to "Down" and "Beautiful Disaster" running both of my Rectos together with the Mimiq pedal

 

[Redneckstomp]

Wait..no Incubus?? Their guitar tone(Recto tremoverb) was damn good.

Yeah man. They almost broke out huge when Metallica took them on tour with them supporting Wiseblood, but they just didn't explode like they should have. One of my favorite bands for sure.

The thing that's really fucked up is Metallica's Black Album totally tried to steal that COC vibe because James is a big fan of theirs, and sold like crazy. Yet COC still languished in relative obscurity with a niche crowd of die hard fans.

With single coils!

I owned a Tremoverb for 26+ years, and the best tones I ever got with it came from pairing it with single coils. I used it extensively with P90's, Lace Sensors, Dearmond types, and numerous humbuckers. Don't get me wrong, I got some awesome tones with humbuckers too, but there is just something about the clarity and air of a great single coil that pairs in the most beautiful of evil ways with that wall of sound Recto tone.
