Please help me dial in recto tone

[morten.nu]

My dual-rectifier-preamp-in-a-box had been gathering dust for awhile. I decided to try it out again. Here are two short clips of the tone I've got:

Can you please advice on how to improve it?

Gear used:

Yamaha RGX1220A (active pickups, pointy head)
Tubescreamer clone
Tubestation (basically a recto preamp section)
TC Konnekt Live
ASEM Recto V30 (in Ableton Live)

That last one sounded pretty good.

You are free to tell me if it sucks.

I have a lot of experience with Rectifiers. I've owned a Mesa Dual, Single and Roadster. Out of these I would say the Roadster sounded the best. If you asking for a "recto-tone" I will tell you that there are many tones a Recto can do. F.ex. Foo Fighters use Rectifiers. That being said, there are like ten different rectifiers that all sound a bit different. A pedal will not sound like a Recto. You need that Mesa Recto power amp for that tone. It's a must.

Anyways the nu metal sound can be achieved by gain at 6, bass at 3-4, middle at 6, treble at 6.5 and presence on 6. Those will get you that "RECTO TONE" (on a real mesa recto) people seem to talk about.

Thanks! No comment on the last clip?

A final bump.
