For some gnarly tones, lower the master volume to the 0.50-0.90 range.
This is plennnnty loud enough on the real amp, and more akin to what people are "used" to hearing when playing one.
YMMV.

I've struggled with this conundrum. The MV taper of the model is authentic so just like the real amp the power amp starts to clip very early. With the real amp there's audible feedback (as in it gets insanely loud) but with the model you don't get that and humans have this weird thing where they don't like knobs to deviate from noon. I've debated changing the taper or adding a pad between the preamp and power amp but, in the end, I decided to keep things authentic.
I’ve got a ‘95 Tremoverb that I sent to Mesa to have them replace the LDRs and go through it to get it sounding “right”… and good grief, it’s the best sounding Recto I’ve ever heard in the room. I got the Recto 1 to sound pretty close to it, but I stand with other players who claim the Tremoverb to be the best Recto ever made. It’s an incredible amp.I also run the AFX Recto1 master around .75
I have an old Tremoverb and that's where the Fractal Recto1 master needs to be to match up. I struggled to get the Recto1 sounding right until I had the real amp with me again. I also had to nudge up the input low cut.

Mine is a '93 combo. I thought an AC30 was heavy but this thing is nuts. Thankfully I like the way it sounds on casters.Combo or Head??
Mine is the 2 x 12 and the heaviest combo amp ever made, in my experience. Pretty
sure it has not moved in the 5+ years we have been in our current house. Ok, maybe
once to dust a little.
I think Orange Modern is where it's at. Red Modern is a bit dry or stiff. Vintage isn't quite aggressive enough for me.Am I right or am I right? The Vintage Mode is better than the Modern?
