I’m just not a recto fan . I’d take a wizard over anything .except maybe my Hermanson Marshall . So I blend them always for my tone
Will someone show me a recto tone that will blow me away ? Like a famous album ?
I’ll check it out
I really interested

Not every amp is for everybody, I get it. Ultimately, give me a stock or modded Marshall and I'll call it a day. But, no offense...stating 'show me a famous album with a good Recto tone' is kinda silly. In the end, a band/engineer can get a good recorded tone out of anything. Crate. Gorilla. Yep I said it.

IF the no#1 thing you care about are recorded tones, there's like the whole friggin 1990s practically full of Recto stuff. Although, that NuMetal shit is definitely an acquired taste. The album I'd suggest is Winger, Pull....Reb used a Rev C on that to my knowledge.

Most of my favorite recorded tones are a mix of 4-8 amps...impossible to achieve. With one exception...Sykes Bad Boy Live...one of his Jose modded JCM 800s. Rippin tone.

I think guys need to spend some time with a Wizard to really get it. When I first got a MTL 50, the clarity reminded me of a VHT D60, but not nearly as dry...the feel was fantastic. Sold it on...then, a 2010 MC100..and that one was more up my alley. Same clarity, better mids...seemed dry but was great to play, not unforgiving at all. Then, boosting it added even more grease as they say. Fantastic amp.

So you had to add a boost to make the amp not what it was to really like it....

That's crazy.

This tells me, that you are either
A. A novice
B. Uneducated in gear, when it comes to using a guitar and an amplifier
C. A troll

You should use your computer, and whatever search engine you like, and look up 'using a boost with a high gain amp'....read, study up, and come back with a little more knowledge. With a response like yours, you clearly need a little education.
Good luck and Godspeed son!

Man, I cant imagine getting an amp that is worshipped only by forum people who don't record professionally, and feeling the let down after seeing the account drop only to still "need a boost".... it's the boost pedal you like. Not the amp. The amp just makes you feel better about yourself doesn't it.

Man, I don’t even know who you are or what you’re about, but just stop it.
 
@Techdeth - probably not the best example but knowing you, you probably like Korn and most of their stuff is Recto. Not the tightest most articulate tone ever :lol:

but dem low mids bro :yes:

We get it. You sacrifice chickens in front of your wizards and hate mesa. I see why some people stopped fucking with rig talk. The cork sniffery touches everyone if they let it.

I've never heard a heavy wizard tone, EVER on a record. Especially comparing to the mesa tones that crush the earth, on many records.

Why do you think this is?

You’ve heard pantera? Dime is the reason I got a wizard . Wizard is on CFH , VDP, and TTGSTK . Those Pantera records have Wizard ON TOP of the Randall to get that razor sharp tone

Anybody know when the NDA on the Recto RI ends and people can start showing examples of it online? I remember hearing Jan 8th but don’t know that for sure.

No.


St anger sounded good on the DVD and that was a vh4.


Pantera tone is heavy, but good tone? No.
 
the thing is with recto’s is I have owned a couple of early 2 channels one could have been an F but I didn’t know shit about that at the time . One had the attached power chord a 3 channel triple and they never wowed me yet I always had love for the tremoverb and for one quite a few years ago and still have it.
 
I treat Rectos differently than pretty much any other high gain amp. I think of the Recto as basically an open platform you can use anything with in order to pull whatever sound you want out of it. This is different than how most other high gain amps are, where they apply one-size-fits all filtering to everything. Because of that, they kind of always sound like themselves. With some amps, this is done to amazing effect, but with other amps, it's kinda limiting.

It's all about how you approach dialing in sounds. Rectos are awesome. They're so unfiltered and open that you can make them sound like pretty much anything within a very broad range of tone that most other amps couldn't even dream of letting you dial up.

Talking to recto owners I see…
Click to expand...

As a pretty heavy former recto owner... I found them to be tight as needed with the bass dialed down and gain/precense balanced to give the right amount of saturated feeling or perceived gain without getting muddy with it.

I preferred them without a boost.

I tried KOKO boost big version, bad monkey, maxon 808, mesa grid slammer, sd1, stock and modded TS9....

I tried to be a boost-boi but with every single amp, including every dual, and triple rectifier, it smeared something in the mids for me and it lost what seemed like to me a dynamic response in a certain frequency that I always look for. Boosting seems to take it away. And the amp is dialed tight along with my guitar being setup to stay tight at tunings etc etc... the boost never made a recto better or tighter for me. Always set as a clean boost.

Dudes insist on putting a boost on amps instead of just turning down the bass and opening up the power section. Adding gain to any circuit naturally adds bass usually also, more gain means use less bass, but dudes be like "nah it needs a boost it's loose" while also playing with the pick attack of a 9 year old little girl and too much gain....

Then they start bunch of false bullshit. Like that a rectifier can't be tight without a boost. It's just so dumb 🙄
 
Lowering the bass on a Recto doesn't make it tighter though. The bass knob is in the circuit after the looseness has already been baked into the signal in the preamp. Turning down the bass in a gained up Recto just gives you a muddy tone that's also thin.

I don't use alot of gain in my tones.

Orecense and treble increase gives the perception of more gain without making it muddy. Obviously the balance is found so its not harsh up top.

You can claim it's loose all day dude. I've had 6.... they all did the tight metal without a boost thing very well when dialed right to me and my guitars.

So you're trying to convince someone who has seen the light, that the light doesn't exist.


I think you need to climb on out from under that boulder my brother. It's time. Free yourself. 🫡🤝
