Күн бұрынThe massive tone of a RECTIFIER in a Pedal? Let's compare this pedal to the real thing!
Today Kristian Kohle checks out the TC Electronic DUAL WRECK, a pedal intended to emulate the massive and punishing tone of a Mesa Dual Rectifier.
Let's see if it survives the A/B test with Kristian Kohle's good ol' 2-channel Rectifier REV F.

@sheatanner9935 8 ай бұрын
Unpopular opinion time: I would argue that the Soldano sounds much like a recto (better, imho)... since Mesa was essentially ripping off Mike's design.

Hell yes! When people get all upset about something not being exactly the same as one example or the other, I'm always sitting here thinking about how 150 different components each with a 5 to 20% tolerance in their values really adds up.
@KohleAudioKult 8 ай бұрын
Well. They say the Recto‘s preamp is a Soldano rip-off. But because of the power amp design, the Rectifier‘s tone is as far away from a Soldano like the Diezel in this video. So this is rather a technical argument. Sonically there’s no similarity.
@felinekaiju4517 8 ай бұрын
The pedal is so close, and quite impressive. But that low end thump from the power section can't be replicated. I gather the in the room feel of that low end is dramatically different?.

yes, recto's power section, along with using rectifier tubes, is what it makes rectos. and it's designed so well that using/trying different power tubes with recto is fun practice, too. 6V6GT gives recto more smooth and nicely saturated sound with hint of vintage vibe, and 6CA7 gives in-your-face yet warm sound. personally, i use 6550/KT88 for my dual recto from mid 90s, and 6V6GTs for triple recto from early 2000s. 🤟

Thanks for this great video I wanted to buy this pedal but I was very sceptical about it. As I've written in the comments of some other video of yours, the rectifier tone comes really from the power amp as you're stating here (no negative feedback on the red channel). Thanks I'm gonna buy it so I can use it with my solid state power amp Maybe with some eq I can recreate the curve impedance of a tube power amp and finally leave my real rectifier at home

Hey Kristian, great review, great pedal! But would have been nice to see how close to the Dual Rectifier the D-Moll can get. The D-Moll is pretty versatile, not just mid forward. With channel 3, mid cut enabled with nice intensity, and deep and presence dialed in, the D-Moll steps into Rectifier territory. And the D-Moll does not need a Tubescreamer in front of it to be tight 🙂

Oh no, you don't get it any close to a Recto. You can get a Herbert really close. Especially with the mid cut engaged.

Hi, i'm whatching you chanel since 2020 and i noticed, that you use the Ibanez tube screamer differently than almost any person I know... you dial the volume knob to just about? 40-50% of the range. Most of the community always use settings like level at max, drive at 0 and tone somewhere around 12' o clock It would be nice to see a video about different boosts to an amplifier, and different approaches to use some sort of an overdrive pedal to make different distortion characters from the same amp.

Absolutely agree. It’s a brilliant review/demo but turning off the built in IR then running into an audio interface with a different IR really feels like it’s missing here…. Even if it’s just to show us they haven’t picked a particularly bad IR, it’s just that you need the power amp and even a great IR doesn’t bring the power!

It would have been interesting to hear the pedal with the Rectifier power amp, I think. And then swithing just between the two preamps. The presence in the "red modern" mode of the amp is also working in the preamp. So, it would also be out of the equation an a similar situation for both preamps. The loop of the Rev F is serial. So, it would work.

I did not do that comparison for two reasons: 1.) Nobody with a real Recto would need/use the pedal like this. 2.) Like you mentioned, they have done more than just copying the pre of the Recto. They tried to implement the character of the entire amp. So why play it into another Recto?
