not sure what you mean here. which toggles?
I think they both sound great! a is a bit thicker sounding to me, like others said, b seems to be less present in the midrange but a little cleaner sounding.
EMG 85 9v. vs. 18v shootout (and at a decent height this time)

Thanks Liam! The toggles on the back are only on 2-channel Rectifiers, they did away with it on the 3-channels by giving them, well, 3-channels 
(and the mini-toggles for the voicing modes as well) You think A has more mids than B, though? Cuz I was kinda thinking the opposite...

listening back, seems like i must have clicked b first and though it was a. so i guess i like b better.
Thanks a ton Felix! I'm proud of it, but I still don't think it's perfect, arrrggghhh
(though at least I feel the problems now are coming more from the guitar and/or pickup, I'm confident finally in how I have the amp tweaked and mic positioned!)And after listening for the 9 billionth time, I still feel I prefer the tightness and focus of B! (AKA 9-volt)

You think, it´s still not perfect? "A" is perfect, man
How do make better???Haha, well for one I prefer "B" in this case, but I dunno, it has a bit too much upper-mid emphasis for me (coming from the guitar), I prefer something a bit more "barky" in the lower mids - I'm gonna experiment with an EMG 81, maybe that'll help!

Can't really hear much difference but if I had to choose...id go B, perhaps it sounds slightly fuller.

nice tone there Marcus.
I'd have to say B. bit less wuzzy. kinda makes me want a mesa instead of an engl. but i like the more sterile/aggro sounds i guess, lol.

Thanks dude! And yeah, Engl pretty much defines sterile I'd say (not necessarily a bad thing, but I love how Jens Bogren said the Savage was "for Japanese hospitals" ), and Rectifiers a raw bark that makes me wet myself

yeah, ahaha the hostpital analogy is great! crank one of those savage's in a emergency room and people shall be sterilized in no time! I've always wanted to adopt anyways.
