Modern mode on rectifiers...WTF?

[blackcom]

What's up with the modern mode (red) on the rectifier?

It sucks out all the mid....sounds cooler at once cause the volume is boosted, but at the same level I think orange sounds alot fuller. What get's to me though, is the orange mode makes it sound like there's a blanket over the speakers...

What do you guyes record and play with the most...orange or red channel?

 

[pifos_2]

dead heart in a dead world settings for example :

Silicon Diode Setting
Bold Setting
Red (Modern) Channel
Treble: 11.30
Mids: 10 O'Clock
Bass: 11.30
Gain: 12:30
Presence: 12.30
Master: 10 O'Clock

The Red channel is the lead channel, so it is voiced differently.

I use the Orange channel on Modern for hard rock/metal rhythm guitars.

Also, the tone controls on the Rectifier are like no other, especially the Mid & Treble controls. You really have to spend some time to find some sweet spots for each channel & setting.

Hey, those where cool settings...never thought of having bass and treble below 12.00 o clock...makes sense when you think how the the modern is voiced, though...

Here, I made a clip with those settings...only rised gain a littlebit...
Pedal -> Recto modern (EL34) -> Marshall 4x12" V30 -> TLM193 -> API

My 3CH can be dialed tight...

here's a clip: Dual Rect CH2 Modern

Hmmm....I really think I should put some more mids in there.....perhaps rise the mid controll to 12.00 o clock.....

And...i'll try with a mesa v30 cab too...it sounds fuller......i'll post a stere-clip later...hech..I even have a marshall gt75cab......


As for the tightness, it's just the way I play....I really try to kill those strings...

 

[kaomao]

ok about the tightness, but what about the pedal you used?

 

[blackcom]

MPX G2

 

[Jaymz]

MPX G2

Thats just an effects unit, am I right in saying you didnt use its effects and signal passed through it un-altered? Must be those EL-34's

 

[kaomao]

MPX g2 got a tubescreamer modelled after a vintage tube screamer

 

[Jaymz]

So if hes using it we can get close with our tubescreamers, 808's etc etc

 

[blackcom]

Changing between 6L6 and EL34 made very little difference....can't almost hear it.

And I checked a Maxon OD808 and it sounded more or less like the tubescreamer in the G2. Did not sound less tight or anything.

However...that other clip posted here....

What settings on the recto, cabinett, mic? I like the mids! I need to get more mids in there, I guess....

I like to crank the mids when I use the recto, I use it on RED for a lot of stuff. Here is some recto, its my own band:
