What bands use Rectifiers?!

[MetalHorse442]

Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, Godsmack, Disturbed used one on the sickness, Tool, System of a Down, Falling up, Decyfer Down, Ektomorf, Stonesour, Creed, Alterbridge, Metallica, Dream Theater, Pillar, Avril Lavigne, Killswitch Engage, Unearth, and a few others I can't think of right now. Not saying I like all of the above artists but those are ones that came to mind from the artist list at mesa for recto players.

Three Days Grace = Diezel
Breaking Benjamin = Randall
Godsmack = Diezel and Splawn with some Recto

Those are current rigs I'm pretty sure. Not sure what 3DG used in the past. Breaking Ben has used H&K in the past. Godsmack definitely used Rectos in the past, but he (Tony) uses mostly Diezel and Splawn now I think. Sully might still use Rectos. Not sure.

The first 3 days grace record was all mesa. Breaking Benjamin records with randalls but uses mesa's live, they did last time I saw them. And yeah Godsmack is starting to go the diezel way but always recto in the past.

There are many more, but this is all i can think of off the top of my head. In the last ten years I have gone to many many many shows, and up till the last two years, almost every show I would goto had at least one band member that used a rec. But in the last two years bands have moved away from them.

Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, Godsmack, Disturbed used one on the sickness, Tool, System of a Down, Falling up, Decyfer Down, Ektomorf, Stonesour, Creed, Alterbridge, Metallica, Dream Theater, Pillar, Avril Lavigne, Killswitch Engage, Unearth, and a few others I can't think of right now.

How has nobody mentioned Buckethead yet???

 

[mikey383]

Buckethead was mentioned in the post above yours, anothersomeone. When I saw Breaking Benjamin a few years ago, they were using Diezels.

Here's one that may shock you:

Garth Brooks - I saw a clip from one of his concerts and there were 2 or 3 Recto fullstacks in the background.

Some others:

Revis
Gavin DeGraw
Earshot
Ra
Finger Eleven
Puddle of Mudd
12 Stones
Stereomud
Soil
Audiovent
Sevendust
Flaw
Cold
Dark New Day

I saw Sonata Arctica in SF a few months back. The guitarist, Elias, was shredding on a 3Ch Recto. Sounded awesome!

 

[PirateMetalTroy]

Agreed. I saw Sonata Arctica when they played here. Best show ever by far. Elias is no Janni. But he plays the parts fairly well.

The Cage\m/

Most of what you hear on Soundgarden albums is actually a Peavey JTM120. I have an interview in a mag wit Kim and he calls the VTM the greatest amp on the planet.

I used to own a VTM120, and almost every club we played I would get comments from the other musicians or the soundman along the lines of "That's the best Peavey I've ever heard." Really underrated amps.

All guitar tracks on my latest CD were a DR/VTM layered. Very pleasing tones.

actually he plays a roadking. me and him talked about it for a bit after the show in october.

Elias is no Janni. But he plays the parts fairly well.

too bad Jani is stuck playing with Paul DiAnno now.

 

[fatoni]

everyone "uses" a recto and many people have used a recto but i think the more important question is who needs a recto to give them their signature sound. so many bands on that list dont use rectos (killswitch, avenged, 311, as i lay dying but thats just from what ive personally whitnessed so im sure theres more)

 

[MkIV]

Mister Kite's signature sound is Recto.

 

[user 7737]

unsane use recto...

 

[DaveBorn2Rock]

there are some pretty nice lists there but just a couple bands that I didn't see who I know use rectos are

Bad Religion
A Wilhelm Scream
Bullet For My Valentine
Bayside

All pretty sweet bands.

Oh... and Yellowcard.... :?

 

[Silverwulf]

About Soundgarden earlier...they used Rectifiers exclusively on Superunknown according to an interview they gave. They said thry went for a brighter sound than they wer eused to and KT just said he would set it up differently for leads. I remember they also said they used the Tube Rectifier mode becsuse it gave them a warmer "rock" kind of sound.
