Great video Lucas! I somehow missed this when it first was uploaded. Enjoyed your walk down memory lane 😁 God bless and Creed riff on 👍😎🎸
Sounding awesome as always! 😎
Haha, awesome stuff Lucas! I hope you're well man, rock on.
Bought one because of this! Thanks man!!
Very nice amp and your playing is awesome .
That thing sounds badass!
Great video, great tones! I think every guitar player can remember "that one amp" that really changed the game for them. For me, that was this weird Peavey Windsor 100w head and 4x12 cabinet that I traded an old 1985 Ibanez for. Generally regarded as a "bad" JCM800 clone, but after years of playing little Crate and Fender combos, that sound of a raging 100W EL34 head through a massive slant cab is one that I'll never forget. Loved Peavey since then - my most recent acquisition is a Peavey XXL solid state combo, and it too will peel paint off the walls - sounds amazing too.
Thank you Clifton!
Love me some Peaveys l
Sounded killer. This video was very 5 Watt World-ish. Great video!
Had one of these…twice! Great amp.
I have several Mesa amps...the Rect-o-verb combo is one of my 2 main amps...love it
I have a mini Rectoverb 25 watt head & a mini Rectifier 1x12 cab! It’s a mini half stack & it’s so powerful I can use it in clubs .. pretty much anywhere I may play out. 🎸
@@Jacen13 I want a mini Rectoverb or mini Rect head also...lol....I WANT EVERYTHING!! Hahaha
This is my dream amp ever since I got my mark IV
Flashback! That wall of Boogies!
I have a Mark V and its my #1. Doesn't get better than Boogie for me. I have my eye on a Cali tweed next
Hahaha, the first thing I noticed was that all of those guys were playing PRSs. Can't say I blame them :)
As you may be able to tell from the wall of PRS's behind me, I picked up on that too :P
Can you tell me the settings in n the amp? I saw the settings on the pedal.
What are your amp settings??
I know this is an old video but can you share your metal settings? Just picked up a retroverb 50 and I’m trying to dial it in. Thanks and have a great day!
I can actually remember this one. I set the Gain at about 11:00, the Treble at 1:00, Mids at 11:00 and the Bass at 3:00ish. The important part there is that you need a tightening boost, like the Mud-Killer I'm using, a Tubescreamer, or something similar. This will help suck up that "flub" in the low end. Recto's are notoriously flubby and they take a fair bit of time to dial in for your individual guitar, pickups, cabinet, speaker, etc.
I have one but cant dial out the fizz? Any suggestions ?
So, you can dial a lot of fizz out with the presence control, setting it in the "vintage" mode, etc. The most powerful tool would be a graphic eq in the fx loop.
I would add though, a big part of the Recto sound _is_ the fizz. It sounds very harsh by itself but in the context of the band it becomes very three--dimensional and gives you that iconic grinding sound. I gigged with Rectos for years and this is a problem I noticed, I would hate the sound at home but then it would sound great in rehearsal or live, or it would sound warm and fat at home but like a farty mess live. Your mileage may vary of course. Probably the graphic EQ that you can use to taste per situation is the best and easiest solution.
My regular DR...not as good as I hoped. But, the Rectoverb? Yes....even better than I remembered. In a band setting, that is.
Great amp. Too much amp for me these days so I'm currently selling mine.
Ben Burnley uses a Randall. It does sound a lot like a Rectifier.
I don't know if he's still using these, but he used to use a Randall RM100 with "Recto" module. You can hear him talk about it here:

No one mentioning the Nickelback and Puddle of Mud riffs!!!
Ah, I see you are a man of culture as well.

I bought this amp last night, and cancelled it today. Hopefully they cancel it. After hearing this demo it's not going to be the amp for me. I never play with that much gain.
