What is THE recto tone?

[YellowJacket]

Haha, I bought a Dual Rectifier because I played punk and saw a punk band using one!

I've seen a couple country bands that used the raw modes for a great raunchy crunch. Then on the other end Hetfield used to use a two channel triple recto before he got the Diezel stuff.

Metallica is still using them Rectos as well. Mostly in the studio now AFAIK...

Actually, I thought Brad Delson was using JCM 800s into Mesa cabs???

It's fun watching all y'all fight... errr... passionately advocate your opinions about this! Reminds me of when I was in a pub in Scotland, and everyone fought about which beer I should drink.

Really?
My first tone experience with with a Marshall 1960Lead 4 x 12 on Red to Vintage with the Mids high and bass WAY down! Favourite punk rock cabs are a Marshall 1960ax (greenbacks) and a Stiletto. I eventually ended up getting the Mesa Rectocab because we were doing more hard rock stuff but I was always angry with that cab. In hindsight, I would have probably been better off with the Stiletto.

The sound of a Rectifier amp usually being played with a humbucker equipped axe?

Oh and adjust EQ to taste. :lol:

You can see the people and there different style of music shine through on this thread, having been someone that went from listening punk to Nu-Metal to pop punk I can see both sides.

It was bands like Limp and Korn that made the rectifiers popular, but punk did carry on the line of amps after metal bands started playing other amps.

There have been punk bands that might have been using the rectifier far before it became popular, but punk did not come big again to early 2000's and by this time the nu-metal scene was dieing out, but gave us the rectifier tone.

That song by bowling for soup was when they both recto back then, now the lead singer plays a stiletto and the big guy still plays the recto

Interdasting. I haven't seen them live since last year, and they were both still playing rectos then. I always thought the tonal difference came from the les paul vs the EB musicman.

Wish you lived near me, seems we have a lot of the same musical influences!

I have never seen them live, so maybe live they both still do. But you see video's and the singer seems to have a stiletto as seen in this video,

but after checking out some current live video's it seems they are both using rectifiers.

One word: MEAT. :twisted:

I highly doubt that recording is a two channel recto, I had Duel Recto S/N R0005 which was made on 2/28/92. That album was released on October 6th 1992, and that does not sound like a recto at all, although they could have maybe forced the sound with the right speaker, but after owning R0005 I can tell you it would pretty hard pressed to get that tone out of it.

If the album was released on 10/6/92 then more then likley it was recorded at least 6 months to 12 months before release date, which makes it a very tight squeeze from the time recto's went into production and the time they released their album.

I would say that amp is either some solodano or maybe the Peavy like sound garden used on there first album, or could be a marshall as you see old live video's of them with marshall cabs on stage. I do believe however they might have started touring with them at a later point.

Of course after posting this I found a video of them playing on halloween which looks to be rectifiers sitting on top of marshall cabs, I could see that tone maybe being rectifiers through marshall cabs, maybe I should have experimented more.

Gruntruck used boosted jcm800's and Mesa Mark IV's when I saw them live. :wink:

Who knows what they used in the studio ... I was just going off the "Thanks to Mesa/Boogie" in the liner notes. I substitute reality and choose to believe that tone is a couple of dual rec's running at about 120db ... Ahhhh ...

Hi guys!

Sad to notice that none of you know what's the REAL Rect(um) tone!!

Just go here, scroll down to the "buts" and hit each one to know what a real Rect(um) sounds like:
