Rect-O-Verb clip (Constant Motion)

[mr.sku11]

I've always been able to nail hard and classic rock tones with my rig but I wanted to see what would happen in the metal area.

Chain:
stock LP Standard Limited (Burstbucker Pros) > Rect-O-Verb Series 2 combo

Bass was done in Fruity Loops and the drums were performed by Mr. Portnoy himself Please excuse the messups and some syncing issues.

It's not JP's tone, but I thought it fit in the mix decently.

i like it. i kind of like your tone better than the one petrucci used.

 

[mr.sku11]

Tanx.

I wouldn't consider it better, but I think it's passable given my guitar's typical nature.

I don't know. I was having that same problem when I initially previewed the post. Just open a new browser window/tab and paste the link there.

Sounds good bro! I think if were wanting to aim for a closer sound that you would appreciate an OD in front to tighten things up just a bit for a more Mark series type gain. It sounds great though!

Great sound!!!!!!!

Why do the recto verbs and tremoverbs sound so much more organic than the standard rectifiers

 

[dba1337]

wow that clip sounds great

 

[7 Strings of Hate]

i second the od idea

Thanks for the comments guys! 8) Will try to get an original clip up in the near future, especially once I get some better recording gear...

I've tried OD pedals before, but don't really like what they do to the pick attack. I can always tell when someone has one engaged because the pick attack is more fuzzy and less grinding, IMO of course. Yes, it "tightens" the sound, but I actually prefer the bassy and loose sound of the ROV as it is. I want people to feel it in their chest, if ya know what I mean.

...frets70 mentioned the word "organic", which is very much the type of tone I'm after.

Thanks!

I've never played a Tremoverb, but I'm guessing it'll sound bigger, being a Dual Recto.

Regarding the mic, I wish. I actually used a relatively cheap USB conference mic and backed it away about a foot. I'm looking to get a nice dynamic mic w/ interface this Christmas, probably something along the lines of an SM57.
