Dual and Triple Recto's
- Thread starter lost_within

Yeah, I toured with a Tremoverb once and it was smoother than the 3-channel models but not as special as the older 2-channel ones.

I owned 2 of the older 2 chanels ( both from 1993)..they are a bit warmer.. the 3 channels have an edgier more modern metal gain, better clean channel and a real flexible footswitch...
mic'd up in the studio the 2 channel might have a slight edge depending on your tastes... I actually sold my 2 channels and gig with a 3 channel..it's a little different but no worse to my ears...

Anyone use El34s in the dual rec? I want to swtich to a set of 6l6s. I have access to both right now , and the dual and the triple sound the same to me.
Personally, I don't like EL34's in Rectifiers, at all. 6L6's are much more suited to the amp.

Personally I think the dual rectifier sounds MUCH better than the triple, and I know some pros and serious tone masters who agree.

Whats up with older recto's sounding better? "How" do they sound better.
And "how" exactly does a triple rec sound "tighter" due to more wattage? I know The Testament "The Gathering" had Triple Rec and that album had a really good tone.
Also, Meshugga's Destroy Ereasy Improve and Chaosphere had old Dual Recs in them (not marshall as some might think, Fred told me). Also great sounding albums.
Whenever I crank a tube amp I find the low-end to sound thinner and the high-end to sound less "sharp" and the mids will open more. Personally I hate this sound. Is this that "tube-sound" everyone praises so much?

I tried the dual and trip side by side, I went with the dual 3 channel, I stand by my decision sonically and financially. I have never played one of the coveted two channel dual recs but I am interested in hearing for myself what difference there is, because allthough I dont doubt the wisdom of the folks that swear by them Its hard for me to imagine a more flexable and capable head than the dual 3 channel I own now.

I just listened to some clips of the Bogner Uberschall, and that thing is a monster!! Any opinions? .. They're also the same price as the rectifiers.

I didnt really think so, I played them both with the volume around 1/2 way up, they sounded very much the same, and then I cranked them up all the way for minute, my take was the triple sounded damn clear all the way up and the dual broke up a bit more, kinda smeered with less note clarity, all the way up, And hell if I wanted my amp to sound perfectly in control with the volume maxed I wouldnt turn it up all the way, and I would even venture to say on stage or in the studio you dont really need to turn it up over 3/4ths the way no matter where you play or what you record.
