Too much low mids from Dual Rectifier

[53Crëw]

I can't get a dual rectifier with a recto cab to sit right in a mix. I'm having to do a low shelf from 800 Hz down, at about -6dB and high pass around 100-130 Hz and then do a low pass around 7-8kHz to get rid of the fizz. It's making me wonder if I'm using the wrong amp for the sound I want. How much "sculpting" with EQ do you guys usually have to do to your guitar tracks to get the sound you want?

I'm starting to wonder if I should be using a Marshall DSL with a brighter cab. Maybe G12-T75 speakers?

Any thoughts?
(Music style is more classic 80's metal and instrumental rock. Eb and D-standard tuning.)

Cheers.

Classic 80's metal. Marshall DSL and T75's will do that really well. Been used on the last few Maiden records I believe.

Thanks. I'll check out some recent Maiden as a reference.

Having the same problems with a Dual Rec. Fizz everywhere. Great for live but recording wise I'm also wondering what the hell is up with this amp.

Actually I had a breakthrough with with a mic placement that reduced the fizz. Just a matter of persisting with moving the mic around. Still a difficult amp to record. If only I could emulate the tone on Testament's "The Gathering."

No luck even with vintage/raw modes? I'm liking them even for heavy stuff (with boost pedal in front)

They are REALLY hard amps to record. Awesome as they sound in the room.

Beta 57 on that one.
