Congratulations on your choice of the new Three Channel Dual or Triple Rectifier Head as your amplifier!
Their two channel relatives launched a sound back in 1990 that would come to define a musical style and now, 20 years later, are
synonymous with high gain guitar. The “Recto” - as it is affectionately known - has found its place in history as a rock ‘n roll icon and
seems to be growing in popularity every week. The long and ever growing list of recording credits and inspired owners endorsing the
beyond gain performance of these all tube machines of mayhem is testimony to their tone, versatility and reliability. The time proven
magic created by combining our patented Switchable Dual Rectifier power section with two different tube preamps of unsurpassed
gain, focus and expression created an instrument of devastating power.
That combination is exponentially more powerful with the Multi-Watt Dual & Triple Rectifiers. There are virtually no limits or compro-
mises as you can footswitch between three discreet channels - each sound dedicated and fully evolved! One channel is dedicated to
rhythm sounds lets you choose between two modes...CLEAN with its many colors of normal gain staging - and a boosted, re-voiced
PUSHED circuit that reveals an urgent, more aggressive gain range that is perfect for crunch rhythm or medium gain soloing.
The two Gain Channels feature a comprehensive revamping that retains the original two essential Recto modes VINTAGE & MOD-
ERN in all their blistering glory, but also adds an amazing mode called RAW. The RAW mode’s super sensitive personality roams
effortlessly through virtually all ranges of gain...from almost-clean to a fast tracking crunch, allowing you to harness the Recto spirit
for any style of music. With these two gain channels you may footswitch between any two of six solo modes! And if this performance
minded power isn’t enough to get you through a gig, we have the Recto with the SOLO Control found on some of our other models.
This valuable feature is an additional volume control wired in parallel to the OUTPUT Control allowing you to footswitch to a preset
amount of volume boost during live performance. And finally, to top it off, the series EFFECTS LOOP has also been updated to include
a footswitchable option to the already complete array of programmable choices.
To further enhance the performance of each preamp Channel we’ve included our patented Multi-Watt
™
Power feature. You now have
the choice of either two or four power tubes – producing either 50 or 100 watts of power – in each of the Three footswitchable Chan-
nels. This choice is selected at the mini toggle located below the Front Panel Mode switch enabling you to tune the power response
to best match the preamp style you are dedicating a given Channel to and increase the expressive factor many fold.
In addition to the wattage choices, to further tune your power the patented Switchable Rectifiers are now Channel Specific giving you
the choice of Tube Tracking or Solid State Rectifiers per Channel on a mini toggle on the Rear Panel. Tube Tracking brings on line
the proper amount of tube rectification – one for 50 watts, both for 100 watts and all three when 150 watts is selected on the TRIPLE
RECTIFIER - and produces a looser, saggier response with enhanced harmonics. DIODE tightens the response and produces the
