Diode rectifier always. Orange Chanel Boost it with you’re favorite boost.
With the right tubes I find tube rectifier mode can be equally enjoyable and not as far behind in tightness. The stock 5U4’s they come with just aren’t that great. I think rectifier tubes in general seem to get overlooked
 
I stumbled on a post from Steve somewhere on the interwebz with a ton of different settings. I should have copied it then. He is a tone connoisseur with a palette of distinction...
 
This is a collection I made over about 30 years. Many of them are from famous people. Some are from me or some other sources.
Every rig is different so fine tune to your taste.

Try the last one first.... It really kicks ass. By far my favorite.

Tremoverb or any other Rectifier.

Bypass effects loop.

The "bypass effects loop" on back is important for the sound.
 
No problem.

I don't know about connoisseur. I do know what I like.

Let me know what you think. Any stand out for you or anyone that tries them ?

Obviously it is a lot. Might take awhile to check them out. But I find the list a great way to become familiar with some of the range of what the amp can do.

I have been hanging low since Dan passed. My personal thanks to you Steve for what you did during that time. I appreciate it.

Hard to not love a guy like Dan. When he passed I thought about all the years and laughs. I was talking with Steve K a lot before he passed. Dan often came up in the conversation.

I don't want to turn this into a other thread about this.

I kept a collect of things I felt was important I found interesting off the internet. This is just one of many. Always interested to see where I was at over the years.

This is the one I use the most. It brings out the punch.

I take it anyone familiar with the Rectifier amps knows you need to turn up the volume loud enough to kill the bees.
 
Can't wait to try them out. Right now I'm relocating everything from one room to another. I have a cab and 2 pedals to try out still....

Is the Orange channel a modified Fender TMB tone stack?
