I've played the Dual Rec out, and own a TSL. Love 'em both, but the Dual Rec is much, MUCH more touch sensitive, and it bites beautifully. I'd recommend it over my TSL. However, it would be a difficult choice between the Dual Rec and the Marshall DSL. Depends on which sound you like better.
Yea I use the same set up. Les Paul & a Mesa Dual Rec. but with a Boss E.Q. to boost the mids. Its sounds good enough. But I get a crazy feed back when I crank it up, that's something I'm worried about.
I thinking of upgrading to a better amp head. I'm gonna use a mesa cab but Im divided between getting a rectifier or a Peavey 6505/5150+. I know that the Peavey is tighter and more clarity with gain and that the rectifier is better toned and warmer when saturated. However I have heard that mesa's lose a lot of clarity when turned up all the way and that although the peavey is not nearly as good as a recto it holds up better at high volumes and is much cheaper. Can U give me your opinion on it?
nice man.i have had my dual rec for 3 years.i just changed out all my tubes,im looking for some new settings,i like what you have going what are the clock settings you use on your amp in the gain dept?
I personally think they are better than the newer Triple rectifiers... not by that much.. but I played my buddies and prefer mine... with ESP LTD F-250 or the ESP LTD MH-400
Nice video, and setup. I played basicly the same setup at GC (The Mesa amp and a Gibson Les Paul) just the other day with my girlfirend watching. It was fun : D
@MLplayer78 Rectifier's are great amps, but it is really hard to find the sweet spots. I have had a triple rec for about 2 years now and I'm still messing around with my settings once every couple weeks. Another problem is they have lots of gain, but not a whole lot of sustain, hard to get a good lead tone.
@Blacksabbith102 I have both amps. The Mesa has a much beefier mid range and a more modern sounding crunch. The Voodoo has a smoother distortion like a late 80's Marshall. Soloing on the Voodoo is much less demanding on the fingers because single notes require less finger pressure and pick attack. But for live sound, the Mesa really cuts though the mix and the extra effort is well worth it! Both amps are great but the Mesa is the all around better amp.
oh cool........im trying to find a type of pedal that would switch from clean to distortion but i dont know which one to get? what pedal would u recommend me
What kind of amp? You usually want amp distortion if you have a good amp. If not then shoot for an overdrive/distortion pedal. also depends what kind of gain you want. Blues style? Rock? Metal?
oh i have a line 6 spider jam but i dont want a distortion pedal i want a pedal that can switch modes like in the song one by metallica? it goes from clean to heavy? u know what i mean
Nice riffs. All you need now is video editing software to get rid of the part of the video where you're setting up. Check my video out of you get the chance........
I tried one last week at the guitar shop, and yeah your sustain is a bit stolen with the NS-2, but they didn't have an other brand of noise gate such as the MXR smartgate. But people say the MXR is better...
would anyone know how a ts-9 would work with a dual rectifier? I tried using one on my Marshall MG100 HDFX which has an amazing sound, but the tubescreamer colored the tone. I've been looking to upgrade to a mesa (either dual or triple rectifier) But in the mean time how do you think the ZW-44 would sound with my MG?
you dont need anything wit the dual rec whatsoever aside from maybe a delay pedal or chorus flange ive been gigging with mine heavy for 2 years an it absolutly screams just CRANK it up! side note if ur playin at home or in ur bedroom dont get the dual rec jus stick wit the marshall mg
So did someone just tell you "Get a mesa, they are amazing" ?? Clearly you have no clue about tone if you recommend a MG. Or you just have the lowest standards possible.
no i own a dual rectifier an i run it straight and i sounds very good tweaked the right way and dude learn to fucking read before saying rude stupid shit i recomended the mg as a sarcastic remark on if you cant handle the volume of a 100 watt tube amp cus u just sit around in ur bedroom get a solid state amp i could have said anything you ass get a fender frontman get a line 6 piece of shit get the marshall mg get that crappy ibanez amp crate amp
You're not very convincing man...I still think you were serious about recommending a mg. In your mind you were probably thinking "The overdrive is crushing!".
yup your right i didnt recomend the mg because the person i commented to said "would anyone know how a ts-9 would work with a dual rectifier? I tried using one on my Marshall MG100 HDFX which has an amazing sound" "I've been looking to upgrade to a mesa (either dual or triple rectifier)" in which i said the dual rec doesnt need an extra pedals to sound good just push the power section hard but if volume is an issue if your a bedroom jammer stick wit the mg u OWN ALREADY damn
Cool, Nice and punchy! It lacks the bite and chug though. Try boosting it w/ a TubeScreamer or an Sd-1. Set the OD pedal's LEVEL-max, TONE- MAX, DRIVE-0 or almost 0. It will tighten your distortion. Just trying to help a brother out.. peace
It will give your drive/dist more definition and tightness for those machine-gun palm mute riffs.
Notice on my provided settings for the TS/OD has its Drive/Gain on 0. This is because you dont want to add more gain cuz obviously the amp has allot of it already.Tighten up your tone and give it more bite by boosting your clean tone w/ the TS/OD. It will give your pickups more heat. Same principle in boosting Dist/OD pedals, your booster must be set after your main Drive/Dist pedal. Just try it =)
of course. who doesn't? everyone clean boosts a rectifier. maxon od808, ts9, Fulltone OCD will give you a nice tight bass response instead of it's natural flub. A lot of people also can't fully CRANK these amps... remember that.
To be honest, i dont know. But the reason why people use them is becasue they like the sound. But Im sure it sucks sone tone yes. I like the suggestion about boosting the amp with overdrive better. AMp with master volume + overdrive, and your safe.
yeah. Im pretty sure a MXR Zakk Wylde overdrive can do the job. The ZW-44 has an output, tone and gain knob ryt? So its pretty much your basic standard OD. Just set the output - full, tone -1oclock or full, and drive-0 or 1. The only OD pedal that i won't recommend for boosting is a Bad Monkey.
Just a reminder, if your boosting a high gain drive channel in your amp. Don't set your amp's gain at full. You wont need the extra gain because your tone is already boosted. That means, you can get your drive to squeel and scream at low levels of gain w/out the unwanted amp feedback.
well its not that its not as good. Some people like the tone of the two channel amps more. and some like the three channel more. Best thing to do is try both and decide for yourself.
Hell yes. This is the kind of demo I wanted to see. I'm looking for the elusive Rammstein distortion, and from what it looks like, this will open that portal up for me. Kickass jamming, nice amp and guitar too.
you should put this comment in your description, some more people might ask.. cool, I'm going to try these on mine and check out the actual sound because I'm sure it sounds better than the video is showing :-)
