This mode is the lowest gain of the three in the two high gain
lead channels. Its less saturated nature greatly enhances the already versa-
tile bevy of sounds the two original lead channels offered. The range of gain
available covers an extremely wide spectrum and it can be set to double as
a formidable alternate clean mode, a low gain purring blues sound and be-
yond, all the way up to a grinding crunch or searing solo sound. The TREBLE
can be set relatively high (2:00) to add a little more gain and shred when
using RAW for certain crunch rhythm sounds.
This high gain mode is the famous liquid Recto voice. Its lush harmonic content and fat creamy feel has found
its way onto so many recordings, it is now a staple for anyone headed to the studio for an album project. Combining this super juicy,
expressive preamp with the Rectos’ black magic, tube-rectified power section creates colors in gain that most players find truly addic-
tive. Single note solo work is effortless as the strings become easy to play with VINTAGE modes musical and natural tube compres-
sion. Spend time learning the lower regions of the VINTAGE mode as the overlap between RAW and VINTAGE is a place where many
beautiful sounds lie. These two modes are similar enough when VINTAGE is set in its lower range and RAW is set in its medium to
higher range and yet, each posses a character that is unique and identifiable. Remember that you can swap channels to achieve
different voicings of the VINTAGE sound and no matter which you settle upon, you will likely find your trademark lead sound lurking
somewhere in this sea of liquid gain.
Aggressive. This is the word that best describes the menacing power of the Rectos’ most rebellious of all modes.
A take no prisoners, crushing assault of top end cut and lightning fast response creates a sound of unparalleled aggression that has
set a new standard for hard core sounds. The added tightness of the low end response combined with the radically more present top
end keeps the MODERN mode tracking accurately even at extreme gain settings.
MULTI-WATT™ POWER:
Each Channel contains our patented MULTI-WATT power switch that allows you to choose either 50
or 100 watts (50 or 150 watts on TRIPLE RECTIFIER) of power enabling you to match the power output and feel to each of the three
foot switchable preamp sounds. The 50 WATT position (switch down) brings two of the four (outside pair – far left and far right) tubes
on line for a clippable 50 watts of power. The 100 WATT setting (150 WATT on TRIPLE RECTIFIER)
brings on line all the 6L6 power tubes for the full power and headroom. This setting is preferred for
pristine clean sounds and tight-tracking high gain sounds.
