Mesa Boogie Single Rectifier - Dirty Tones

[expressyourselfist]

Awesome,but harsh to compare with MarkV.

[rockinguitar101]

Smoking guitar player...Kudos

[BetrayalWithin]

Very useful and honest video. I love that tones you got and am very tempted to get one of these bad boys!

[5150VanAlien]

There's nothing more metal than a squirrel! ANVIL would be proud of you!

[ToddeeTheTeleMan]

Am I the only one that wouldn't play metal on one of these?? :L

[TheCollisionofworlds]

@ToddeeTheTeleMan yes.

[submit1]

Bro great tone and technique! love your style as well. what are your settings???

[Ombrenuit]

Gorgeous back yard

[madcheshire77]

NICE! great sound and really awesome playing! great video! thanks! rock on!

[willeng84]

Nice guitar and good sounding demo. You the man!

[ldtriplesix]

Best Single Rectifier demo on YouTube. Great job!

[varisk9]

great mesa tone!

[tj2214]

did anyone else notice the squirrel on his porch railing at the beginning?

[44WhiteChocolate]

oh my god you can play, wish i could pick like that, im thinking of selling my line 6 half stack and saving up for the duel rec with a cab but is the single rec pretty much as good?

[slydown2]

imo, tube modifications will not bring big improvement xD. Setting is the secret, with a lot of possibilities...

[doublelinedminority]

will any 6l6 tubes make the single rectifier sound like this

[slydown2]

Very good video. You finally show good skills in these style ;) PLEASE give us your settings... I have a single rectifier and I search this kind of tone (at the end, on the rythm metal moment).

Beautiful country you live

Cheers from france!

[keeelane]

what's the main difference between single and dual rectifiers?

[PlacaRodoviaria]

What is this guitar?

[jaredr0]

@PlacaRodoviaria its a suhr s4

[mettttal]

i bought the single rec as i find it to be better sounding than the dual rec

[Sean2592]

does this have a selecter switch for wattage such as like the triple rec has a 50/150 and the dual 50/100?

[mettttal]

these amps sound amazing with a boss sd1

[yourmercifuldeath08]

haha! great introduction.

"It's a beautiful day winter day in Canada, and I am filming a squirrel! Here's...."

[3283gieni]

how much gain do you use?

[ruderocker]

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet! Squirrel approved. Take that head outside and wail!

[Thedudeinpants]

Hey, I was wondering what you would say comes out as a winner when comparing the stiletto and the rectifiers. I am looking for something to tour with and I'd like to know which one is better for an alternative/rock genre of music.

By the way great playing! I love it.

[metalmaniac426]

lucky bastard! is that a mark IV on top too?

[Guitarsthatkill]

@metalmaniac426 Its a Mark V.

[JingBom]

Is this amp loud, pretty loud of really fuckin' loud?

What Cab did you use?

A reply would be really nice :D

Greetings from Germany!

[Maxi11able]

cost?

[flowerdrop1]

why did you go with maple board over rosewood?

[SteveHubbardGuitar]

@flowerdrop1 it has a snappier, punchier high end, and i like the feel of it better. that said, I still love my S3 w/ an indian rosewood fingerboard..

[flipsy87]

are you running through a mesa cab?

[StereotypicalBT]

best intro to a demo EVER! lol

[Levi790]

Also 3:18-3:35 Holy shit.

[Levi790]

I would also love to know what scale(s) were played from 1:00 to 1:15

Seriously that was crazy shit. Crazy shit that I want to do. Lol

[6stringsandaneck]

@Levi790 looks like a diminished minor and a (insert adjective) minor... sorry i forgot the name of it

[GhostToast5647]

What scale is that at 1:09???????

[Gitardevil]

One of the Best Demos!Top!

[xPELICANx]

Five stars for shredding and five stars for playing a Suhr.

[SonicProvocateur]

You can never get a bad tone out of a Mesa.

Love it man! I'm gonna go shred on my Mark III RIGHT NOW!

[luke98959895]

Do you know if your pickup is ceramic or Alnico V?

[RonBurgundyBitches]

Triaxis/290 setup through recto cab in lead yellow (290 in deep mode) is the smoothest lead tone I've heard. Plenty of articulate midrange and punch with zero fizz/buzz. Just the right amount of air around every note anywhere on the fretboard and every note is heard regardless of playing speed.

[RonBurgundyBitches]

The mk v better suits your playing style. IMHO rectifiers only shine in the huge nasty power chord and low gain chunky southern dept.

[chadinterrupted]

your shitty computer speakers are picking up better sound off your single rectifier than my e609 is placed in thousand of different spots and combinations. isn't that sad. and it still sounds better after youtube condensed the sound file for me to hear it. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUU

[WyattTheGuitarist]

@chadinterrupted hes using a shure mic.

[chadinterrupted]

@WyattTheGuitarist could you be more specific? lol. i have a shure mic.

[crguti]

I enjoyed the video. nice play.

[mdaleo]

Great amp demo (so many crappy youtube ones). Way to shred!

[thearchangel16]

what speakers and cab are you using?

[dellinger08]

not the tones i use but really nice to say the least, i really like your demos keep em comin

[ipnutt22]

The Single Double And Triples are the best fucking amps in the world

1. Mesa

2. Marshall

3. Peavey

4. Laney

5. Bugera

[DopeSick408]

@ipnutt22 Haha peavey 3rd? Wheres Orange,Diezel and Bogner?

[ipnutt22]

@DopeSick408 those are just the amps i like

[dmb3305]

@ipnutt22 1. Splawn 2. Bogner 3. Mako 4. Rivera 5. Diezel 6. Orange 7. Mesa 8. Fryette 9. Fuchs ever here of any of those buddy???? bugera seriously?

[ipnutt22]

@dmb3305 no i havent...im just stating my opinio on amps that ive heard and the ones that i like. but ill check these out

[ipnutt22]

@dmb3305

i have played through riveras bogners orange and mesa

[dmb3305]

@dmb3305 check out a video called "scott splawn playing the nitro" and then "splawn quickrod sampler". pretty good stuff. i see you have marshall on there at no.2, splawn, bogner, orange, etc are kinda voiced after that sound so youll prlly dig them.

[singlory]

Really cool style of playing man. Great sound review of the amp to.

[diesect33]

i like the rectoverb better. more djenty. still like the solo though.

[homersimps1]

Thumbs for the shred!

[Pianoblacks]

is videos like this that makes americans think we all live in igloos lol

[WoWandMetalFTW]

This sounds really good. I just got an older Dual Rectifier solo head a few days ago, and it sounds great. I'd love to play through this in person. Right now I'm kinda diggin my dual rectifier a little more, but what would you say are some of the main differences tone wise, both set up the same way, in the same room?.. I'm only asking cause you seem like a mesa expert =)

[oooGibson92ooo]

The difference between single and dual is the Power ( 50 and 100 Watt) and the dual has a "Chrunch" channel is this right ? Are the lead sounds the same ? sorry for bad englisch

[skatefallen15]

you made me want one hahaha, great playing btw

[Controlthis19]

First off man - great sound and great playing. Second - anyway we can get your settings based on clock referencing (i.e. volume - 5 o'clock master -6 bass -3 and so on)? Third - beautiful guitar I might add!

[NWOBHM1777]

*****!!!

[bizkitfren]

It looks like it has a too much dark sound,hasn't it??anyway,awesome video and riffs man!

[66Titan66]

if you call those lame attempts then i'd love to see what you think is good in your playing.

[mackslovelace]

With your Orange Cab did you mod it so it was 4 or 8 ohms or did you is it stock 16ohms?

[SteveHubbardGuitar]

@mackslovelace stock, 16ohm

[stinkerten3]

what cab are you using?

[SteveHubbardGuitar]

@stinkerten3 at the time of the demo, an orange 212

[cloud4056]

I like that lick from 1:01 to 1:14, specifically 1:10 to 1:13, what is it that you're doing there? I'd appreciate if you would get back to me on this, because that kind of shred is my style and I'd like to add that sort of lick to my vocabulary :)

[SteveHubbardGuitar]

@cloud4056 im just improvising, mostly using the phrygian mode.. towards the end im using diminished, and doing some sweep picking

[gmuchiutti5150]

Good demo, so clear. Thanks.

[queteimportaguey]

i've had one for years, love it.. miss reverb though

[GuitarRocks23455]

What tubes are you using?

[SteveHubbardGuitar]

@GuitarRocks23455 just the stock 6l6, though i hear el34's are great in it

[jsabo1929]

Clean tone video! PLEASE!

[ACS1271990]

must know your settings...

[SteveHubbardGuitar]

mostly just use my ear to dial in the tone... i put my ear directly in front of the speakers, so i get a true signal of my sound.. i try to get lots of mids, only the lowest necessary amount of lows (we have bass players for sub-low frequencies :D ) i put the highs to taste, and i usually have the presence set pretty low on my amps..

[8thlie]

Cool! Intro is awesome!

[matabaldia]

3.36 wow cool scales

[matabaldia]

Cool guitar dude, and cool amp, by the way, where do you film this, Its seem very cold, haha, sorry I live very near of a desert so, here its a pretty hot weather all year long.

[petepetruzzi]

shreddin like paul gilbert..nice

[GuitarRocks23455]

hey man what are your settings at 1:47?

[SteveHubbardGuitar]

the MKV wins for what i am after.. crazy good clean tones, and great smooth high gain tones.. the stiletto is great for the hotrodded marshall tones (though the MKV does those too), and the recto is good for really high gain rhythm stuff.. The clean isn't bad on the Recto, but nothing like the stilettos or the marks.. The Recto lacks in lead tones.. It has a buzzy top end, which works for rhythm, but not lead

[col33145]

i wish i could have amps  like that one day

[jciturr]

Hey bro what mic are you using, sounds good...

[SteveHubbardGuitar]

@jciturr hey there, it was a shure beta57

[GuitarRocks23455]

Would you recommend a 2x12 recto cab or the orange 212?

[SteveHubbardGuitar]

the orange 212 by far, as long as you're not scared to lug it! but thats only for my specific tastes.. the recto 212 has more of a scooped sound, and i go for a very mid-voiced tone.. the stiletto 212 is easier to lug, and falls more into that category!

[GuitarRocks23455]

hey man what cabinet are you using?

[SteveHubbardGuitar]

yo, it was an orange 212 cabinet.. i have a recto 212 here now, and i much prefer the orange.. i'm waiting to get a stiletto 212 cab-- better suited for my style

[Undercurrentuk1]

five stars if you love squirrels! heres what a rectifier sounds like! great vid man, all hail recto.

[topperspoppers]

yeah canada!

your heavy rhythms need not be embarrased!

theyre better than porno!

[infernalgr]

Love the tone :)

Great vid

5*

[colbys1019]

What happened to the Stilletto?

[SteveHubbardGuitar]

@colbys1019 bought, sold, profited!

[5150VanAlien]

@SteveHubbardGuitar Did you sell it? Why?

[Aaronlikesjohnmayer]

"It's a beautiful winter day in Canada ... and I am filming a squirrel. Here's what a Rectifier sounds like" I liked the old gNosh at the end.

[DannyBoy777]

Another quality vid man, really cool. And that tone is killer, as is the playing.

[omfgwhale]

where are u in canada?  that was awfully flat

[SteveHubbardGuitar]

i'm actually in new brunswick.. land of the ATV / snowmobile trails! you in canada as well?

[omfgwhale]

no, i did live very close to canada for a while. whitefish, montana.

[SteveHubbardGuitar]

not far at all.. im 15 minutes from Maine
