The Rev F is still the greatest high gain amp ever made.

Naw brotha, it’ll still be absolutely immense with that amp, for sure. It’s not so much about too much bass as it is about cleaning up the low end that is there. It doesn’t really cut the low end unlike the other clones. The input section of that amp is still a recto through and through: it’ll be fantastic guaranteed.
That's good, if it cut the low end it'd turn it into a Badlander! haha I tend to run the Rev C bass dimed at home & at 3:00 in the band. And it's not too much.
 
I don't have a Rev C, but have a Rev D & Badlander, so should at least be close. The DT was imo pretty good with those amps, but imo the Dino and Fortin TS's were better to me. The new Fortin 808 especially imo smokes all of those for metal through those amps imo. And I repeat I'm otherwise a Fortin hater except for his TS mods, but I'll play anything that sounds good enough
I had a Dino at your recommendation. It was killer in the bedroom honestly with how organic it was, and pretty good in the band mix. I even used it with my C+ Coli for the first three songs my band has recorded. Then I sold it! :haha: I still prefer the OD1X in the mix.

I don’t consider the Dino to really be an organic pedal honestly. I find it to still have for my taste that filtered/plastic-y thing (the DT does too to me in a different way), but I liked it for it tightness and attack. It worked pretty well in my friend’s re-amp, but still in a mix nothing we tried yet remotely touched the Klon, but I still predict this Fortin TS would work great too
 
For metal he very well might be. I'm still subscribed to him, Reza and Segeborn. Segeborn has been by far most helpful for me, especially his speaker shootouts. Kyle is very entertaining, so I mostly watch for that, but not really much gear he shows that I've not already tried (unlike Reza who gets many 1st's at things) and his overall recorded sound is imho a bit muffled and undefined/lacking detail. I'm not that good at recording either (I don't have the time these days to work on it), but imo already get better results than that sound. Video editing like that though I really don't wanna learn lol, so props to him for that. Reza and Segeborn's stuff is way easier to crank for the most part I'd think
I agree Kyle's audio is a tad low fi sounding but in a way it's almost like showing what amps sound like in common real world situations (a hastily placed mic at a gig or amps simply going through a lower end recording chain). I think Segeborn has the best intentions and I enjoy hearing the hard to find vintage stuff he specializes in. But I find his playing SO inconsistent that it almost renders any A/B comparisons invalid. On the opposite end I think virtuoso level playing isn't the most appropriate way of demonstrating a piece of gear but to put it as politely as possible, Segeborn sounds borderline competent.
 
Playing around with gullfoss today on instrument busses before I slap it on a full mix. Really like how it cleans up the mud on first impressions and adds great clarity. Might have cut alittle too much low end for my taste but that’s all easily fixable. Great plugin I can tell already.

Yeah I usually just fast forward to the parts where Segeborn just plays powerchords or basic stuff. The rest of it is not easy to listen to. I agree on Kyle, but still think with that way of recording a lot of details in the sound get lost
 
Had a Rev F - highly overrated. Not bad but far from the greatest. I had a couple of Tremoverbs including an early one with serial loop. The T-Verb sounded just as good if not better.

Never owned Rev C/D/E - so can’t comment on those.

Have a Badlander and loving it. To me it’s like some Recto DNA blended with some modded Marshall DNA. Tight without pedals. Can still take them. Easy to dial in. Internal IRs is icing on the cake.

The Rev F is a great amp no doubt. The D, even greater yet. In comparison, the D is tighter, and more aggressive in the mids. Never tried a C, but I’ve heard they’re even better yet in the same ways.
 
I gigged with my Rev C last weekend and a T75 cab. Wife grabbed a cell phone vid of it. To me, definitely the best Recto I've gigged with others being a Triple G and a Tremoverb. I practiced with a Triple F (and a dual G and a dual MW and a triple MW and a Rectoverb 25) but never gigged it (them).
