How to dial in a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier for metal

This is a new series that was brainstormed between myself and my patrons. What I want to do is test out dual rectifier (or triple, whatever) emulation in different modelers and amp sims, etc. The idea is that this first video will serve as a chug baseline for all future videos moving forward. RANK THAT RECTO!

Thank you for turning the damn bass knob back up *after* the OD is engaged.. you impress me more and more every video.

Kilker tone just plugged straight in....boost helps a lot..I want one of those new badlander's..I look forward to seeing you and Ola do your thing..🤘🤜🤛

🤘

[@playthefightriffjohn843]

If you want this kind of tone, don't get a Badlander. I bought one, had it for 2 months, then traded it for a Mark V.

[@kadestorm]

Much like hell, there isn't one king, but a number of kings. This has always been one of said legendary kings.

[@TaylorDanley]

Agreed.

[@untoldguitarist]

Fun fact pulling out the shitty mesa labeled glass and buying a Eurotubes full retube high gain kit will make the amp not even need a boost/over drive in front and will make that Rectifier come alive. I tried this option way back in 07/08' and it did improve the tone a lot and made it sound a lot better without using any boost in front. Because the tubes mesa loads in from the factory, make them sound fuzzy, muddy, and muffled out of the box.

[@chriszembol9784]

Thought about doing that! And you dont even have to get it rebiased do you? Beciase I think all you do with the mesa is flip the switches to 6L6 correct?

[@untoldguitarist]

@@chriszembol9784 Correct they're fixed biased amps. He will select the best tubes based on what amp you have and what style of music you're playing...

[@bigmike9527]

The sound from that mesa cab was stunning 🤘🔥🤘

[@lordviewer7305]

Nice video, you really display the Rectifier tone :D

[@k13m13]

On the red modern channel, the treble control is more a high mid control, and the presence is more a high treble control. Note that the presence on the red channel is not a "real" presence control. For the orange channel things are different.

[@TaylorDanley]

Glad you liked it!

[@Hadouken5150]

A lot of great guitarists have used these for some killer tones. But from what I’ve heard from this video, I don’t think I would jive very well with this amp. I’ll stick to the mark series and 5150s.

[@MichaelDespairs]

Have you thought of selling impulses? I would love an impulse of your Oversize Rectifier cab. Do you have a flat solid state power amp to ping your cab with?

[@vincentrandles8105]

I've gotta say; I kinda like that low-end sound the way you had it set up to begin with! Just saying... I have to wonder if the sound you're getting has anything to do with the SM-57? Well I'm sure it does, but as I said - the way it sounded too begin with was the way I would rock it! (If I had one) sick!!

[@Steadybeheady]

Rank that Recto featuring the Mercuriall Recto and Amped Roots would be interesting to see

[@themixmusicandmore6280]

I'm broke but had a couple real nice guitars. I was looking to do a trade for an amp so I was at the mercy of whoever would be down to trade. Never liked mesas. So of course the only person that would trade was for a dual rectifier lol. I'm learning to like it. I learned that I like it more in person. People scoop the mids in most videos (fail) but if you really coax out the mids with a ts9 and an eq pedal it sounds great

[@MichaelDespairs]

It sounded better without any boosts I think the two you chose don't really work well with the rectifier. The ts-9 and od808 sound great with this amp.

[@beautague9163]

oh man I thought you said "rate that rectum" I was like damn... what site am I on??

[@bodielancaster7952]

I played a roadster at a guitar center and I loved it! I really wish I had the money to buy it and it wasn’t as expensive compared to the ones on reverb

[@gmmakesmehurl]

Just recently bought my first Mesa. Its a Roadster and it is amazing. I call it - The Roaster.

[@chriszembol9784]

I love my roadster 2x12 but there is just so many functions and It definitely takes some time getting dialed to to the channels you want! I still need to spend more time with it. But for the price of what you get you cant beat it!

[@brownsparlour9813]

this is a great video man!have u played through the badlander?

[@TaylorDanley]

Thanks! No I haven't, but I definitely want to!

[@Adambobro]

I have a mesa triple rectifier from 2003 that was modded from a parallel to series fx loop. When my loop is bypassed, this amp sounds like a monster. When the loop is on, it really sounds bad. My problem is, i need to kick on reverb and delay from time to time that are in fx loop for my lead work. I really need help with this amp.

[@johnyacclane]

Sick! Any reason why you don’t own one?

[@Fartinhalerr]

No disrespect man but running it through a two note? You telling me that two note doesn't effect the tone at all? I bought q captor x and it definitely effects the tone, makes it sound like an amp sim

What model Jackson is that!?

[@Venus-yt8dd]

Hey do you think a 6505 and even a mesa 4x12 will be added to the nux mg30?

[@TaylorDanley]

I think the modern 4x12 that is in there is based on a Mesa 4x12. They did say they would add a 5150, which is pretty much the same as a 6505, so hopefully that happens soon!

My JCM 900 with an SD-1 will eat that Recto alive

The only time a Marshall can even attempt to keep up with a recto is if the recto is a 3 channel or broken

@MayoCoCEO What's wrong with the three channel multi watts? Just wondering, new to rectos.

[@WillVRam]

Why ppl buy 4x12 cab if we use just one speaker at time? (sry im lay)

[@bradylasserre9320]

4x12's usually resonate in a more specific and usually desired spot. The low end is generally huge. On a 1x12 for example, it's a bit higher in the spectrum in terms of where that bass blooms and generally sounds not.. as big? I could be talking out of my ass and I'm not sure if the science of it but that's generally what I've gathered. I've only ever owned a 1x12 and I've only played through 4x12's. They definitely sound huge.

[@metaldreams3595]

I am sure theres something wrong with me. I dont think that amp sounded great at any point in this video. They always sound like theres not enough gain/distortion or too much and muddy, its weird

[@franciscoportuondo989]

Almost sounds like a an amazing metal zone lol

[@meneerlagerwaard2047]

This is the exact issue I have with rectifiers. Unboosted it sounds very dry and boomy. Everybody shouting 'put a boost in front' just makes me think: so apparently this amp almost achieves greatness but it still needs a crutch to really come into its own.

[@mjbdough7920]

I agree, I think it would have sounded better if the presence knob was back a bit.

[@howardgillingham4763]

If it's terrible THEN WHY IS EVERYONE COMPARING their amps to it, it's the standard for 35 yrs
