Anyone else finding the Rectos looser on 15? I don't play with them too much so I can't say for sure, but what are your thoughts?
+1 on 'never been that tight'. I owned a Single Rect back in the day, and I really liked it, but to imply the damn thing (and the double) was a metal monster I thought was misplaced. For the 'das brootalz' folks, the chain of stuff they had to put in front of it to get it there astounded me. Hard rock, yes (I used it for 'killing in the name of' and it was great), but unless the fooker was at 7 on master, it didn't sound great to me.
The Fractal version sounds 1000X better to me for that drop D stuff, since I can tighten it up nicely.
I use it now to do Jason Aldean covers...it sounds right.
Actually just came on here to ask the same question. Listen to the stock patches and they are a weird farty/flubby bassy mess. I cannot dial in a good recto metal tone to save my life. Went to Guitar Center today and played a Triple Rec. and in just a couple minutes had a brutal tone that sounded nothing like the Axe FX models. Something to me is not with these models.
This is the tone I was able to dial in today but cannot get it with the AXE FX. Listen to 3:20. That grainy, sizzle with a nice bite to it. Any suggestions to get this kinda tone out of my unit?
Doesn't the guitarist in his band use a roadster? I'm pretty sure when I went with some friends to one of his shows I saw 2 roadster heads on stage.
Sheeit I don't know. But it sure sounds right in Tattoos on this town, and My Kinda Party. Add a wah, and boom.
