About to turn this thing in for the first time. Reissue Recto

[thegame]

here's a fresh one for ya no boost

Headstock tuner? PERMA BAN NOW!

 

[braintheory]

There is a lot of channel.favoritism here, and no clips. Someone is going to pay

I owe a lot of clips lol, but will put this high on my priority list to try to demonstrate in a comparo as well as I can why the orange is better

 

[Jack Luminous]

I’m seeing them next month opening for Meshuggah. Will see

I don’t care anyway what guys use, but I’ve heard George Lynch preferred the orange ch and I’d imagine he’s not the only one

You're in for a treat ! Saw CC last year and they are better than ever... Truly impressive !

Haven't seen Meshuggah in years though, last time was 2005 or something so cannot vouch for them recently.

 

[Erock]

Might be a mistake but I’m at a gig and had my wife bring it in the middle of our set after being delivered this evening. Hope this goes well

I read through all the opinions, and haven't disagreed. Have you actually played it yet?

That's awesome! Can't wait for it!! In general I'm not as much anymore into seeing these bands in concert, but Meshuggah is one of the exceptions I'd make and CC and Carcass is a nice bonus

I appreciate Orange modern but have always preferred red modern on every recto. Orange is indisputably smoother on every example I’ve owned or played. But the rawness or red takes some taming. But I want the bite and rawness and chaos

You and brain theory said the opposite ass thing for . Inte

Ok. I have never played a recto. So i am going to need a few things here. First opinions. Second clips.

dude you will be so let down by a recto after the Amos you’ve had . IMO they do one good thing when boosted . But prole love them
I must say I love the one thing it does but idk
I need to give rev f a try again . Was not a fan when my friend had one

I don't know about that. From chatting with Smash I think a recto could possibly be up his alley. For anything with mostly just lower register powerchords (not too fast or busy) it's a very hard amp to rival. They don't need any boosts or help to breathe like a fire breathing dragon on powerchords. The boosts are just to make them tighter/focused with more cut when needed. Really the vast majority of holy grail amps IME do one, maybe 2 things top notch and to me that's perfectly ok. I'd rather an amp do one thing 10/10 than many things 7-8/10

You get the idea, Orange is Foo Fighters, Red is Rammstein

Add a boost, and you get Cannibal Corpse, Nevermore, and Meshuggah

Song starts at 0:45, and plenty technical.
This album to me is closest to what cannibal sounds like live sound wise. This is the album mark lewis mixed as opposed to Rutan. Rutan doesn’t capture it the best as an engineer, as much as a I love him as a player. I’m aware there was a mark layered in here, but it’s like 12dbs lower than the main tone it’s not one amp one side, one amp the other. What you’re hearing is mainly a recto on the red channel.



This one is just straight recto red by Colin Richardson.



Aborted have used the red channel on the recto for a while, again metal starts after the little intro like a minute in.

Eh anyway @Smash I’m pretty sure a boosted recto will be up your ally.

 

[Racerxrated]

Orange to modern is the sound, for me anyway with any of the 2 ch rectos I've owned(2 G duals, 2 G triples, 2 F triple and #41 C recto). The Red modern is kinda sterile/clinical by comparison. I did do a C mod to an F triple and the red got more organic and sounded better. Leave the loop off, Orange to modern boosted is it.

I just never really bonded with any Rectos . I love the one sound I get but I need more richer harmonics and color to each note

 

[napalmdeath]

The lower mids is where all its throaty growl, aggression and richness in tone lies. It is a looser sound though, but richer. Iirc Foo Fighters had that growl, while the red ch is baby smooth in that region

I also generally like EL34’s in mine to bring out more throaty growl and cut. It makes the amp a bit tighter and faster, but it’s still a recto

Love the Recto with KT77's. Still a big fan of the 50 watt Single Recto.

Skeletal amp was actually a 200w Marshall Major driven by two (!) MXR Full Bore distortion pedals lol. Previous album Torture had the Mark blended in

I loved Korn. I loved the tone incubus had ( aside from all that turntable nonsense). The recto was the sound of my childhood. But i always felt the recto was a bit pedestrian and so I avoided. Plus, jesus, so much going on in the circuit..it seemed to be a deathtrap.

Korn did ALOT of work to get their recto tones super good on follow the leader album
Toby Wright has a notebook full of what he did . I wish he would release the writings
This is best recto tone imo

Btw korns vh4 tones are better than this even

Literally my favorite album in highschool. I really feel like it changed my life

Yeah. Those are some nasty tones. I gotta check out more aborted. That band kicks fucking aSs

Yes. One thing we both share is an appreciation for the voicing of an amp, and a non muted powerchord sustained is one of the best indicators. I imagine this is the amp's best feature.

I imagine I will maybe put the amp in top 3 voicing when I play. I just hope i like it as much as the mark IV. That amp really surprised me. It is completely valid even with all that is out today.

I dont care if the recto needs a boost to get to that level, as long as it can

I need proof on that lol @VESmedic any idea what Mark used on a skeletal domain?

Hopefully next weekend, sir

It’s on! Just don’t bring any of your shitty beer! Lol
