Hey guys, figured I'd drop this here, not to spam you, but to spread the word.
I'm sure everyone's first reaction is, "does the Rectifier need more gain?" and my answer is YES - but not for more saturation.
Adding the Legendary Tone Hot Mod EVO/Mr Scary Mod just allows you to get the saturation you want without pushing the gain on the amp so high as to introduce the mud and compression so commonly associated with high gain rectifier tones.
Before anyone chimes in, NO, the same effect can not be achieved by using an overdrive or EQ, as they work in completely different ways than the Mod (adding a real tube gain stage to the preamp) but they can work in conjunction to create a very tight and articulate high gain sound.
Not sure if this works on 3 channel models, or multiwatt models. I will be testing this for David once the tube sockets arrive this week!
