I have never played through a 3-Ch Dual Rectifier, well I have, in the store, once, when I was testing out pedals. The amp was on Clean the entire time. Anyway, the difference between the 2ch DR and the Road King is vast. From what I've read though, its the same difference between and 2ch and a 3ch recto, so it ultimately it comes down to which DR.
For the 3ch DR, from what i've gathered, no.
The Road King follows all the same principles as the DR when you set the RK to 4x6L6. The only difference is that you've got a Reverb option (and for RK v2) better cleans.
In my opinion, you're better off going with either:
Option A: a 2-channel Dual Rectifier (I like my Rev G Recto because its better for the low-end grunge i play, but do your research. Maybe a Pre-500 would be better suited to you)
-or-
Option B: A Road King
Forget the 3-Ch Dual Rectifiers. They are such a nothing amp in the Rectifier family. They have absolutely nothing going for them which can't be obtained (but with more added possibilities) from either the Road King or Roadster
Areola said:I think the Red Channel is designed more for solos.
However I use it the other way around. My channel 3 is set to fuzz overload so it kinda sounds like jumping on a Big Muff and my ch 4 utilizes the extra mid/highs to get a nice crispy crunchy tone.
