Stumbled across this thread in a google search for info on the various revisions to the Rectifier series (which I found on this page, a fucking goldmine for Recto info, check it out!), and oy - talk about people talking out of their asses with little to no experience or ability in amp tweaking. I mean, all this talk about muddy, with one guy going so far to say that you can't use Rectos for tech-death, uhh, tell that to fucking Decapitated on "The Negation!"
Honestly, it's my feeling that you can't truly judge a guitar tone until you've mic'ed it up (or directly A/B'ed in the room, but it's generally easier to mic it and compare to others, at least IME with no good amp sellers around!
) And then the people with their "buy a Diezel" talk, trying to justify their humongous investments - apologies to Diezel owners, they may be good, but between them and Rectos I know which one I've heard COUNTLESS more awesome recorded tones from! (and no one dare say "Lateralus," that tone sounds so dull and boring to me). God I love this place...
