NUX Recto Distortion - Is it better than a Mesa?

[@aiden_macleod]

To actually hear what the pedal sounds like: 6:31

[@TMac-Attack]

Really nice demo, love the destroyer!!

[@PedalRebel880]

One of my favorite guitar too!

[@TheGospelGuitarist]

@@PedalRebel880 Yeah now I am gasing for a Destroyer again, thanks buddy. I had a Phil Collens model in the '90's and sold it. Always regretted it but not much choice at te time. Ibanez rocks.

First rule of heavy metal, never complain about heavy 🤘🏽

[@PedalRebel880]

haha hear hear...

[@TheGospelGuitarist]

I just recieved the NUX Plexi Crunch and this pedal is also on my hit list. For the money this is a no brainer. I can use the pedal as a third channel on my old Mesa Dual Rec Tremoverb. I can also use both pedals into my JC120 and have three great tones for clean, crunch and lead. Good Job NU>X!

[@TMac-Attack]

Your videos are always killer!! Thanks for the demo!!

[@PedalRebel880]

I appreciate that!

[@jamesdinger71]

Nice review. Just bought one. Can't wait. 🤘✌️

[@nickolaynaydenov3292]

with pedals like this that have only two eq knobs, you just dial down both of the knobs and that you you are boosting the midrange. thats how they are wired. i really like your channel!

[@PedalRebel880]

Thank you Nickolay for your kind words :) Learned something new about these 2 knobs EQ! Still, that won't allow me to control the mid-frequency and or gain.

[@tankdarla637]

Sounds good, I want that Destroyer, nice , wish those were still common

[@PedalRebel880]

Kiesel lightspeed/hyperdrive, customize whatever you want for regular USA made guitar price

[@daveredfern8258]

I'm gettin all these series and the fireman, with my two notes cab m at the end. Perfect recording Rig right there. Shit, don't fall for the price tags of the so called originals. Don't be fooled.

[@michael_caz_nyc]

I am searching for a Dual recto pedal. Not thrilled with the 300mA Consumption and the Plastic battery cover. How is the Noise-floor on the pedal? Appreciate the Demo. Have you tried the Flamma Preamp? oNe LovE from NYC

[@PedalRebel880]

Thanks. Perhaps you can try the Mesa's line of pedals, they are quite decent! For example the Throttle box

[@LewisShieldsUS]

Great demo, thanks!

[@aaronsg71]

I would just use an eq pedal with this pedal! No biggie, I think I’ll give this pedal a try, thx for the demo man!

[@PedalRebel880]

It's true that EQ does wonders and is often underrated. Glad to help demo this for you :)

[@TheTd1990]

Impressed.

[@PedalRebel880]

I agree! I was taken by surprise too...

[@MowglyOficial]

Hi Vinnie, I got ir but it has not enough volume (master) really disapointed, do you have a trouble with this product in this sense?

[@PedalRebel880]

Well, I'll guess it is because of a mismatched line level versus mic level situation. Search it up. Else, I'll probably need to know your full setup to understand this issue...Maybe someone here will be able to help you remedy this given more info. Good luck!

[@Dzul32]

When i you use this pedal . I get some noise , can you give me some suggestion how to keep quiet of this noise ?

[@PedalRebel880]

Noise can be due to many reasons. Usually, a high gain distortion will amplify the noise in your circuit that you don't realize. If you truly want to go as noiseless as possible, try active humbuckers with an isolated power supply for your pedal. Also, check grounding on everything, from your guitar to your apartment's power source. Those pesky ground noises will sound like monsoon rain when amplified. But in my case, I was only using a regular humbucker.

[@73prd]

Do u have any gain running with your clean channel or not

[@PedalRebel880]

No I ran it through a rather clean channel.

Hi sir..nice nice review..do u ever try joyo uzi?which 1 u prefer?

[@mixingmasteringservice1955]

What IR Impulses louder do you used ?

[@PedalRebel880]

do you mean loader? Running this through HX Stomp and using Celestion IR.

[@thrashfan4ever]

to me this pedal has the lita ford tone from her self tittled album with kiss me deadly it sounds just like her tone real dark and bottom heavy especially that song lets get back to the cave

[@PedalRebel880]

Well I gotta check her songs out then!

I can't decide between the NUX Recto or the NUX Plexi.....

[@TheGospelGuitarist]

I'm gettin both. Just recieved the Plexi. Recto next.

I'm sold. who the Drummer? love his Non Ride style. Tribal.

[@PedalRebel880]

He has a ride there but it sits like a crash.. lol.

[@rizzaramon7213]

Sorry bro, it's me again. I bought this pedal, but it doesn't sound like your. I'm using orange micro crush amp, you know, the small amp. Do i need a better amp?

[@PedalRebel880]

Hey! Amp plays a big part in the tone. If you are not looking to get a big amp, get amp sim and IR cab! Otherwise I'm afraid your micro crush is really designed more for table top practicing only.

[@rizzaramon7213]

@@PedalRebel880 i see i see, thanks for the tip. I think i might just invest in a bigger amp. I heard boss katana 50 is good, what are your thoughts?

[@PedalRebel880]

@@rizzaramon7213 I've no experience with the Katana but I say go with your ears (and budget). I'll also recommend you to bring your guitar and pedals to test them out in a store, reducing the chance of guessing if the amp will work well with your gears at home.

[@luissantiago7772]

Like Vinnie said. But also use an amp, with at least 8 inch or bigger speaker.

[@marwan_militia]

Try plug it into the 'Return' of the amp's FX loop. It sounds WAY bigger 👌

[@tomahawk4131]

In your opinion, the Nux recto distortion is better than the boss Ds-1?

[@PedalRebel880]

Defoneedly!
