I found a good AB tone using my Roadster. Channel 4 modern.

 

[ibanez4life SZ!]

I use Channel 3 vintage for my AB tones....tube rectifier.....I prefer the traditional cab, but an oversized does it too.

 

[barneyc4]

Hey Ibanez4life, did your band win battle of the bands?
Did you ever get your Traditional slant cab?
What do you use for the "Open Your Eyes" tone? Channel 3 modern or vintage? Bold or spongy? Diode or recto tracking?

 

[ibanez4life SZ!]

Yeah actually....we made it into the finals (top 5 of 40), and are playing a televised show at a really well known local venue. It's exciting :wink:

Yeah, I finally got the cab too...it kicks major ***! Love it....can't wait to be running my mark IV into it either

For open your eyes, I use channel 2 vintage, bold, and tube rectifier. It's my main overdrive tone at the moment.

 

[barneyc4]

Sounds great! You got the slant cab right?

By the way, is Tube Rectifier the same as Recto Tracking?

Do you think the Mark IV can pull off AB tones?

 

[mesanomad100]

Im sure what recto tracking does is selects a certain rectifier to suit your tube settings,so it will call up a diode if you have got all the tone bottles on at once for example


as you know its on the RK's not the normal rectifiers

 

[ibanez4life SZ!]

^That's about right....

I switches between tube and SS rectification depending on your settings....the only thing that I don't like about the RK and RS is that in 100 watt mode, I think it automatically goes to SS rectification Could be wrong, but I think that's how it works.

And yes, I got the slant.

As for the Mark IV, it is by far the most versatile amp I have EVER played. I think it can do the rectifier tone better than a rectifier. It's just a much more practical guitar amp, which much better matched frequencies to the guitar. After having the rectifier for a year and struggling with it, I just find it too muddy. The Mark IV is perfect though!

 

[mesanomad100]

the recto tracking can be disabled though Im sure so it doesnt always select solid state for 100watts

 

[jbird]

No, there is no switch that enables/disables recto tracking, it is a function of the amp enabling the user to assign each channel to either tube rectification or solid state rectification.

[barneyc4]

Correct me if im wrong, but I see channel 2 and 3 on his Triple Rectifier both set to MODERN mode?

 

[ibanez4life SZ!]

They probably are...but remember that there is alot more to his rig than simply the amp....with the rectifier alone, I don't like modern mode at all.

 

[barneyc4]

Did you know that he doesn't always use the Bogner Uber? Ive seen another Triple Rectifier in the Uber space.

Wow - 4X12s, 2x15s and twins behind him, 2 2x15s in front of him and only one little vocal monitor! Does he do any singing?

Only in 1 song in the Alter Bridge album.

I heard a clip of him singing sweet child of mine and in that brief clip he sounded like he could front a band on his own.....


...but that means he couldn't shred as much.

 

[barneyc4]

Have you heard Tremonti sing "Enter the Sandman"? Look for it in youtube. He does it very very well.

 

[Maury]

I wasn't doubtiing his abilities ... it just struck me as odd that he'd have so many guitar monitors and one lowly vocal monitor.
