Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier - Metal

[pablostillborn]

Ur metal videos are the best,

I hate when somebody review a Dual Rectifier with stratocaster S/S/S and start to play blues stuff, come on man, is a head to kick asses..

[thelordofdarkcheese]

type "Insane handjob meatballs" into the search and this is the first video.

[Umaiketsu]

If any guitar magazine or anything does a video series on Metal Amplifiers like the Monsters Of High Gain, they need to pay you to get in there.

[TheMetalHeaD256]

cool song, and some pretty good tone out of that thing. how do you like that RGD? i want a 7-string soon but i can't decide between the RG Premium or the RGD Prestige... are the pickups in yours good or do they NEED replacing? what are their tonal characteristics?

[dusted04]

insane metaballs !!

[justinfuzzyhat]

Your guitar work is fuckin baddd man. Thumbs up

[Blackdragon52k]

Did you write that?!?! Holy shit! And if not im sorry for not knowing the song :(

[FX3368]

[gabm999]

[kayssj2]

[olliewood]

Hello Ola ,

What is the name of this song?

Thanks ;)

[Maybloo]

You look like Jesus. Oh, and you rock. \m/

[MeGustard]

ME GUSTA

[AnthonyPudduMusic]

metalcore... Peavey 5150ii/6505+ vs. Dual Rec vs. Bogner Uberschall??????

[tohatsu93]

rectal fire

[machubtw]

What is the diffrence between this amp and Mesa Road king (I or II)?

[Jesus4Shred]

Meatball? This amp sure has balls, but meat? Hell yeah!

[jopax66]

Awesome fucking song! what string size and brand are u using?

[Denominus]

What sort of volume level do you crank the amp to?

[Schatje79]

The moshing dog is the source of his power. I WILL HAVE IT!!!

[DeausEXMachina666]

Dude I fucking love your tone! I have a Mesa Dual Rectifier as well and I just put it on your description and it sounds incredible! THANK YOU!

[JakeKirbieMUSIC]

I have this same guitar, has some major fret buzz on the low B string. Any suggestions?

[bennyvx08]

Hey man ..that sounded freaking AMAZING..thats some serious tone ya got there.

[musicduct]

I bought one today and play it on the mesa cabinet 4 x 12. It is freakin awesome! Even without the Maxon 808! So heavy brutal and loud and so clear. you can hear every note. Love it! Will have it for maaany years

[mercuryfaith]

Why in the Tags there is "HANDJOB"???:)

[diesect33]

@mercuryfaith that's one of the better jobs to have i would wager.

[MixingTipsOrg]

@mercuryfaith Cause that's what you do when you listen to the sound xD

[1rockup]

@mercuryfaith

obviosly for the same reason as "licking" "meatballs".

[742617044427]

@mercuryfaith why not?

...but seriously listening to this is almost like getting one

[Clebertj]

R.I.P Bosse!

[JayPshred]

Mesa boogie is the shit \m/

[MetalfanX1]

Nice tone man. Hey how do you rate the blackouts? I have an ESP horizon 7 with emg 707 that I want to swap out. I have a horizon 6 string with Seymour Duncan 59 that I love so am trying to get the same tone from the 7. Thanks

[MesaBoogieMountin]

заебись

[ScreaminSavior]

Wow dude... that song is amazing. Subscribing

[cannibalcorpse360]

Hey! hello! will you recommend me this amp or the Mark V, its for death core... thanks!

[SoadOwnsUrFace]

@cannibalcorpse360 If you have Mark V money and can justify it, get it. If not, the Dual Recto is pretty much the standard in metal (and deathcore) so save a bit of money and find a good second hand one if you don't think you need all of the bells and whistles on a Mark V.

[cannibalcorpse360]

@SoadOwnsUrFace I have the Mark 1! (Heartbreaker edition) but it sucks... xDDD

[SoadOwnsUrFace]

@cannibalcorpse360 Maybe so, but it's still Mesa. Probably beats the pants off my little Krank Rev. Jr

[bitchniggerization]

sounds like something nevermore would write, have you heard of nevermore before?

[massivejester]

Vad tycker du om RGA7an? Har kollat in några sjusträngade nu men ska man ha en vettig i mahogany, utan nått jobbigt tremolo i vägen och med en superlen hals så verkar RGA7 vara det enda valet. ESP har några sjuor man de är alla målade på halsen :(

[biggestmuff]

$50 to whomever can PROPERLY and completely tab this song (using guitar pro/tux guitar etc or even put it in a PDF file). Ola, you're welcome to the $50 as well!

[SynysterSecond]

Are those the Seymour Duncan Invader 7 SH-8 pick-ups in that guitar ?

[fearedse]

@SynysterSecond Blackouts in the RGA7

[kikkilinu]

@fearedse Phase 1 or Phase 2?

[Gabriopunk77]

@fearedse They rock or they rule? haha

[bitchniggerization]

@SynysterSecond how do those look live invaders, they're not even passive, let alone the pole caps for the invaders are huge

[SynysterSecond]

@bitchniggerization I didn't see the very beginning of the video so I wasn't basing it on looks, just sound. An invader is a pretty hot pick-up even for a passive, so I wouldn't say it's hard to mistake it for an active sound.

[hawg427]

Man, if I still powerlifted in the gym this would be on my playlist. It would probably add 25 pounds to my lift :-)

[EVEROSFP1]

I liked the structure of the solo.Remind me a bit Carcass' Heartwork album.Keep on man.

[lemonpeanutbutter]

gah it's a shame there is a little messed up bit in the sound at 2:59 it a madsic bend but it goes.... "wwAAAHHH CHHHgrfifgyfiHHHHH AAAhhhh" right at the start of the solo >:( either way it's a madsicbrutal vid :D please keep your videos coming!

[fearedse]

@lemonpeanutbutter I know man... I hate it... well I'll properly do another amp with this song in the future

[givemeajackson]

@fearedse hey ola, what is this song called and on what album is it? one of my favourites from you, along with forever old.

[ItsCiarian]

@fearedse Tunning ???

[HorizonGeetar93]

@ItsCiarian it sounds like E standard. with the obvious low B for the 7th string

[btbamizdabest95]

from now on, 100% of my money will go towards buyin one of these.

[ljubes]

that sound is just....awesome :O =)

[copperkrone]

Nice smooth sound, and playing as well. I too use a triple recto with a maxon od808 after a modded rat pedal, mesa steel screen 4x12 and jackson w/emgs. When fully cranked, the over drive will drown out just about anything.

Nice vid!

[ErykCore]

holy fuck, if that's how it sounds with the gain at half... then i would probably shit bricks if i heard it with the gain on full ^^

[fearedse]

@ErykCore more gain isn't always better on a mesa :)

[ErykCore]

@fearedse then a mesa would be perfect for me, because my band complains that im a gain whore ^^.

[Maxpound]

@fearedse would this amp be good for neoclassical as well as death metal?

[klblackstar]

@fearedse can you please do a raw guitars video for this? it would be so awesome..

[Gonboo]

@ErykCore the more gain you add to a mesa the more like ass it sounds.

[givemeajackson]

@MrLifestudent gonna try the 13-62 baritones. will those give me a similar feel in b standard as 10-52 in e standard? i hate flubby strings!

[RockNRollMan1976]

What is the name of this song, cause I fucking love it!!

[coreywhitton]

Nice bull terrier how old is he? Nice plucking too.

[TheGoldenick]

what is your cabinet model?

[xrandolphx]

i am truly impressed by the sound of the mesa, especially with that particular 7 string. very clear and not as muddy as i thought it was going to be! stock pickups? and what year is your head from? is it a modern rectifier or one from the early days?

[givemeajackson]

@xrandolphx he used a maxon od808, that's where the clarity comes from. ola always uses a boost when playing rectos.

[xrandolphx]

@givemeajackson not bad. not bad at all!

[necro1143]

man that dual rectifier sounds so fucking sexy the heavy chug the nice cleans it is a treat to have.

[GlockenspielSAS]

Nice one ! Very nice groove dude, why did you sell the RGA7 ? I´m thinking about buying it, but I´m afraid that it will go out of tune, I use heavier gauge strings on the bottom on my 6 string(it´s the Zakk Wylde 10-60 set), and on some guitars they go out of tune...

[givemeajackson]

@GlockenspielSAS i hear everywhere that the pickups on the rga7 and rga8 suck ass. ola changed them too in his rga8

[calebandstef]

Fearedse, thank you for recommending the maxon od808. I was finally able to get it, along with the ISP noise decimator.

FUCK-ING, BROOOOOOTAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­! RAAAAARGH

I thought wow this amps SHIT when I got it, clearly I was a noob with gear, now it's like OMGGGGG eargasm! w00t

[dreadbet]

I think mesa boogie its the best amp out da fuckin there.

[PontikkaSeppo]

Nice song, it rocks totally! would you recommend this 7 string guitar? I was looking this guitar and another, Esp Ltd sc-207, both 7 string guitars and both has no active mics. this costs 100 euro's more but friends told me that ibanez's 7 & 8 string necks are very good to play.

[GoreSmasher]

This song reminds me of Seasons in The Abyss by this band called Slayer. Anyway, I recently got one of the 3 channel rectumfriers with the raw/ vintage/ modern modes. Played on one yet? I wouldn't mind some setting ideas.

[Sotirakis22]

song name?



[TheBatnan]

Also, I was wondering what you use the OD808 for?

As in, do you use it to add more gain, or to tighten up the amp's sound?

[calebandstef]

@TheBatnan

To make it sound a million times better.

without od808= muddy, not tight, not heavy, sounds like shit^999

WITH od808= holyyyyyyyyyy fuck is that nevermore playing???

:)

[TheBatnan]

Ola, I bought a 3/4 year old 3 channel dual recto yesterday, and I'm finding that its really bassy compared to my DSL50.

I'm using passive pickups, with the bridge pickup and the tone on full treble.

To get a usable 80's metal rhythm sound, I have to crank the treble on channel 2 to near full, and almost no bass.

Is it supposed to be like that?

[SoadOwnsUrFace]

@TheBatnan It's a Recto, nothing else comes close to the testicular fortitude of a recto. It'll be bassy, but a boost in front, very low bass, some treble, and although 80's metal was very scooped, add in some mids and you will get a great sound.

[calebandstef]

@TheBatnan

Do you have the maxon od808? If not, get the fuuuuuuuuuck at it cause honestly, until mine came in today, my mesa sounded like a fucking garbage can compared to the new tone I'm getting from the od808.

While you're at it, get the ISP noise decimator G string (make sure its G string for gods sake) and you will have the BEST metal tone of your LIFE. OD808=killer tight heavy tone but noisy ISP DECIMATOR=KILLS ALL ALL ALL THE NOISE WITHOUT CHANGING YOUR FUCKING TONE W000000000000000T

[MrWax18]

Very good!



[xena778]

Yo man I need help choosing a good 7 string for some fast shredding/metal. my budgets around 600$ can you tell me what the best choice would be? specifically? Thanks man.

[loki8lelouch7]

oh nvm the setups in the deets lol xD

[loki8lelouch7]

for the longest time i stayed away from the rectifier cause i could never get a great sound out of it ://. but man u make it sound fucken brootal dude holy fuck! can you tell me where u set the knobs to so if i play a recto soon i can get this same brootal sound lol? thanks ola!

[dirtbikeflipper]

do you have the tabs anywhere? i would like to learn this!

[dirtbikeflipper]

god! SUCH A NICE TONE!

[SomethinWild]

This time I really need your help... I need to decide between the Ibanez RG7321 and the RGA 7. Which one do you prefer - soundwise, and in terms of comfortability? Your help is really appreciated...

[flushedawayone]

awesome



[clwnz777]

I really want to get this head... I have a Boss metalcore pedal, would that get me the same tone as this or something similar?

[Masci9375]

Hey man sounds great. I was wondering...what type of recording was this done with? (pro tools, logic, analog, etc.)

[klblackstar]

@Masci9375  logic 9

[rockshow256]

Man i can't stop listening to this.. its pure amazing, although i hate when drums play like a machinegun.

Epic playing bro. Keep it up!

[MrWax18]

Great! I love this amp!

[PabloDarioLi]

I would LOVE to hear raw takes of your amps WITHOUT pre and/or post EQ (or any other kind of process), in order to hear your real 'naked 'tone .I allways enjoy watching your videos, keep it up man!

[assfuck37]

would you recommend the RGA7? i want to know if its worth it

[rockshow256]

@assfuck37 yes, get it, 1000$ is worth it

[Thr33ProngCrown]

Very, very nice

[ZodiacMeatgrinder]

awsome

[andyguitar95]

worth getting?

[coller666]

Hey man, I've owned a line 6 spider 4 75W and when I was playing it, my main tone (metal tone) was on the recitfier setting (the red LED metal channel) and I was wondering, is the mark v better than the dual recitifer?

[Mr0L4F]

Hi Ola, thanks for your great vids! This video and the Metal / Rock Win! one convinced me to get a Dual Recto and now I love it to bits!

I'll probably never reach your level of playing technique (your picking is amazing!) and composition, but you really helped me finding the tone I always wanted to have. Thanks heaps!

0L4F

[mitchthabitch]

Hey I got 2 questions:

1) Do you still use the rga 7 ? I see it is only being used in this clip but it sounds pretty nice

2) in the other clips you play Drop B, di you play the normal 7 string B in this clip? which one do you prefer?

Nice fat sound with you own unique sound, I like it a lot :)

[fearedse]

@mitchthabitch Hey!

1. Sold it shortly after this video!

2. I usually play drop Bb on a 6-string but with 7-strings I usually play in standard.

Thanks!

[ridzirocks]

@fearedse This question has probably been asked too many times, but I was wondering what string gauges you use on the 6 string?? Just curious..

[fearedse]

@ridzirocks 12-60! Daddario has a good XL heavy set

[TheMetalhead804]

@fearedse What strings do you use on you're 7 and 8 strings Ola?

[juiceabuser]

Its too bad Jeff and Van left Nevermore. This song sounds like it could be a cross between This Godless Endeavor and Obsidian Conpsiracy.....like a NEW album that would sound amazing! Ola and Jeff for the NEW nevermore.

[wickedexp]

It's like King Diamond meets Nevermore. \m/

[TheGreensuperman]

should i get an ibanez rgd7321 or rga7 to go with my peavey 6505?

[Umaiketsu]

@TheGreensuperman I have an RGD7321 and a 6505+, it sounds great on the Crunch mode of the Rhythm channel, the pickups in it kinda hit the Lead channel too hard and make the extra gain a bit buzzy, same has a hard time cleaning up on the actual Clean channel, as well. No idea how actives would sound.

[lyrax1177]

Look for the tags in the description, you will laugh:D

[nausea87]

is it really the amp only or did u add some effects?

[7evenslinger]

I just tried these settings with my Single Recto, Tele with a Nordstrand and a Rat instead of a Maxon and holy shit.... it rocks! \m/

[grqnni]

Are there any difference on the dual and single heads when it comes to tone?

Or is it just the number of channels which is the difference?

[k5lta]

Epic Riffs!! and Doggy <3!!

[TheHellraiserc7]

Are you a nevermore fan, some of your riffs sounds a little bit like nevermore, not the riffs itself but the mood you put in your song. BTW its very good!!

[fearedse]

@TheHellraiserc7 you kidding me?! I'm a Nevermore FREAK! :D

[TheHellraiserc7]

@fearedse ahahaha nice!!!

[666RiffsOfDeth666]

@fearedse

care to do some covers of the dreaming neon black album ? through engl powerball with the maxxon overdrive TIM CALVERT IS THE SHIT!

[andreidanciu7]

What's the song name ?

[rohanclassic]

I WANT YOUR DOG!

[madcheshire77]

never cease to amaze! awesome job my friend!

[manolein]

a huevo!!!!!! 666 saben que pedo!!!!!

[patinhiselement]

Awesome video dude, what drumming program do you use?

[DarekRGD2127]

Hey Ola,thanks for your fast reply , i really appreciate it.I am from Danmark, so i hope to see some concerts with you?

Cheers Darek

[1337Atian]

best i ever heard... I let me thinks about Dracula, something super epic boss battle

[Emogal1991]

@1337Atian it does have that epicness to it lol

[DarekRGD2127]

Hey Ola,Thanks for all your videos-its really great.I have a question for you, because i am very lost to choose a good amplifier and i can see that you have tryed many of those?Did you ever tryed a Mesa Triaxis?I am asking because i have a rack gear,its Engl E530 preamp and Engl amp 2x50 wats,Guitar rgd2127z but i really like Rectifier sound and i still want keap my gear in rack?Its possibile or should i buy a Rectifier?Thanks for your help and good luck for your great music.

[fearedse]

@DarekRGD2127 hey dude. I have owned the triaxis with a 2:90. The one with the recto-mod(not phatmod). I've not tried any other version of the triaxis but that one kicked ass! Cheers

[BizarroStu]

@DarekRGD2127 theres a rectifier recording pre out now, rack mounted rectifier preamp. check that thing out man

[DarekRGD2127]

@BizarroStu thanks man i will in the future ,because i just bought a Mesa Triaxis,its really great preamp that can kick ass,you can really have many big sounds of it

[sh4d0wzf4ll]

@DarekRGD2127 Mesa actually makes a Dual Rec rackmount amp.

[megano92]

hey if you still have access to one, can you make a raw sound dual recto video? Thanks

[vivica5678]

Hi Ola, I was wondering if you have tried a 50w single rectifier and if so, how you would compare the sound to the dual and triple.

[smaragdboa]

rectum fryer

[Pianoblacks]

Hey Ola, can you comment on how you like the 2 channel triple rectifier and the 3 channel dual? I have the 2 channel triple rectifier right now and I was thinking would making the switch to 3 channel dual (for that extra channel) be worth it? Or is the tone going to suffer?

[MegaCrappyusername]

0:16 Thats one fuckin badass cabinet xP

[fearedse]

@MegaCrappyusername IKEA contributing to the sound...

[nitinlkoin1984]

the guy just bleeds metal

[DTHBerserker]

Very clear Nevermore influences; love it \m/

[LeavesHopeUs]

Hey mate, i have a question. Is the Ibanez RGA7 a good choice to be my first 7 strings? I was looking it and it looks awesome, but the pick ups... Send me your opinion please Ola! Cheers.

[GuitarmanSDW]

2:22-2:59 most epic part of the song ever

[Tqmi72]

I love that tone :) and song sounds killer too

[SmashinSlashin]

how much does this cost



[FollowerofBodom]

@SmashinSlashin The head is like 2000-2500.

[bestdrummerever1234]

are you in a band cuz im a drummer i can use another band

[GridGOD7778]

For fucks sake that was awesome! Do you have any songs on the zune marketplace?

[13thNemesis]

the beginningkind of reminds me of Slayer's seasons in the abyss

[QuickAndDirtyRecords]

so, i'm on the fence. the dual rectifier or the mark V. also, i'd rather stick with amp distortion.

[guitarnick914]

@QuickAndDirtyRecords i have both a mark V and i dual recto (the older, better sounding one) and the mark V blows it out of the water, just my 2 cents though

[DopeSick408]

@QuickAndDirtyRecords The Mark is brighter, tighter, and more fluid-like, but putting an OD in front of the Recto does fucking wonders.

[bestbanduneverheard]

That tone is delicious

[Dfiend92]

after a while, i realized that you CANT get the perfect tone, before u tell me that im nuts, i have tried mesa boogies, engls, framus cobra, h&k, marshalls, kranks, peavey 6505, egnaterand lots of more. every amp got its own tone, maybe if you combine the crunch and the chugga chugga from a krank, with the tight bottom end of an engl, and the spark from a framus cobra u would get the perfect tone, MAYBE, every amp is lack of something

[crazylocoguitar]

@Dfiend92 honestly couldnt agree with you anymore. maybe if you get an endorsment thatll solve your problem though lol

[Dfiend92]

@crazylocoguitar have you ever own a tube amp? i dont think so. and i dont want endorsment...

[crazylocoguitar]

@Dfiend92 why not???? FREE AMPS AND YOUR SAYING NO? thats bizarre man, and yes you are correct, im wating on my very first tube amp to be fixed before i buy it, and its actually a dual rectifier.

[VonHendrixTV]

holy shit this is badass

[MrMaggot6661]

I wish I could afford a dual rectifier. :'(

[Seventhson95]

Ola, when is this song gonna be released on itunes or somewhere where I can buy? I'm absolutely loving this song!

[expl44]

take pick with 3 fingers??

[jarbearcfl]

wiickkedd and is that a seven string cuz fuck my eyes are playing tricks with me ahaha

[ILikeToPlayGuitarToo]

why all the metal guitarrist uses a tube screamer???

[1withguitar]

@ILikeToPlayGuitarToo it tightens up the amps distortion, it makes it more punchy and clear, more sustain also. Smoothness.....

[ddanee23]

Man this is AWESOME!!! :D :D Great playin great music great TONE! Especially the RGA with arched mahogany body! I just love ibanez guitars... But I got to admit, the RGD does not sound so good as the RGA does... :( But at least there is a video of these 2 guitars on YTube with not just decent, but KILLER, AWESOME, EPIC sound! :D :D
