Rectifier: Fluid/Liquid Lead (solo) Tone

[ursinus]

Come on guys! Can't find a fluid lead tone out of a Roadster or Rectifier without using a stomp box? I don't know what to say. I only use a DOS MOS boost to get channel two in the Brit mode cranking, but that is it. Channel 3 and 4 don't need any boost IMO. I guess, to each his own...

i use my Ts-9 and it smooths out your tone as well as cleaning it up..the maxon is just the same..

Orange channel, vintage mode, presence off, tube recto, maxon od808 with the level cranked, tone down.

I love the smooth tone I get like that. Smooth, singing, clear, amazing.

I've actually have found it since my post here!

Channel 2 Vintage is oozing with a smooth lead tone! LOVE IT!

so how long have you owned this amp and not known the beautiful secret known as CH2 vintage ? welcome to a whole new world. if you haven't already i would suggest using tube and spongy to with it.

+1 Ch2 Vintage on the 3ch's is great.

I wouldn't go with Tube AND spongy, just tube. I think Bold keeps an edge to it. Just a personal preference though.

Tube/bold + channel 2 + vintage = recto bliss, there's no finer setting in my mind.

I use an Ibby TS-7 that's been modded into a TS808 (and has the equivalent to the AnalogMan "brown" mod) in front of my Triple, with the drive off, tone at about 9:00, and level to match. On channel 2, I'm *almost* in SLO-land - thick, creamy, and sweet. On channel three, it retains the vicious edge while tightening up the bottom slightly. I can also use it on cleans to get that "bit o'grit" sound, like a cranked Bassman.

Overall, I'm really happy with what it's done to the amp. I have it set up so it switches in and out via MIDI with the rest of my FX (G-Major in the loop), so that each individual patch has the OD on or off. Gives great flexibility for my cover band, too...

It took me a while, but Channel 2 vintage has an amazing lead tone...even better with the E-34Ls IMO.

It's too loose for rythmn for my liking, but for lead, it just rips!

yeah, you don't want to use it for rytthem playin'. i bet it sounds awesome with the el-34's. i also like it knocked down to 50watts as well.
