This sound reminds me a lot Breaking Benjamin, one of the ones I love the most. There others like 12 Stones, Red, Three Days Grace, also similars. Nostalgia...
That's the sound. Thank you for doing a tribute to the sound I grew up on! It's why the Dual Rectifier is my favorite amp and I just had to get one. And that mini kicks ass!!
Congrats on the new PRS! I got a PRS SE 2 years ago, and since then have remembered that Nu Metal/Post-Grunge/Pop Punk/Emo/Metalcore are sick, so now I'm One Step Closer to buying a Mini Rectifier so I can relive the tones of the late 90s and Early 2000s.
Totally underrated album. Rockstar and Photograph are the songs that people got sick of hearing, unfortunately. And I think those songs are why Nickelback gets so much hate. The rest of the album is an absolute banger, even today
@@himsk8r12 I was actually going through Nickelback songs last night because I wanted to re-evaluate, and the lyrics are just so cringeworthy. It's like listening to Poison - loads of catchy riffs and choruses, but the lyrics sound like they're written by a teenage high school bully.
Im trying to learn and take inspiration from Nu metal to make my own style. Im gonna use Panflute, Ocarina and Arabic Oud in my style of Nu metal. Though its gonna be a while for that after ive become better at guitar
Sounds like Don Donegal from Disturbed. Nothing wrong with that. Love the mini rec. Have one myself running with a Marshall MGHD100 Head and 4x12 Marshall cab and a Fender GT40 just for the modeling. Ibanez RGRT for the axe
@@SonicDriveStudio aah oke, then he sold it to you and I sold it to him. :) I have a couple of old videos on my channel of this amp of you're interested to see it :)
Oh man, I stumbled on this video as a Linkin PArk fan trying to find how to best replicate their sound and your channel is awesome man! Love the way you do reviews and the demos you play sound so sick! Subscribed! Keep it up man! :)
Back in the day, Tremonti used a dual amp set up with a Triple Rec and a Bogner Uberschall. He also had custom Mesa cabs with 2x12's and 1x15" in one enclosure (if I remember correctly). Monsterous tone lol
@@dannyschellenberger8268 yes, but basically all prs single cut guitars are based on his first signature guitar. Wich are based on his Les pauls from the early Creed days. He told that story once in an interview. :)
You do the absolute best recto demos on UA-cam. I hope you’ll do a full demo of the Badlander like you did for the Dual Rectifier. And then even a comparison video between them would be awesome!
I still am fiending after a Mesa Rectoverb combo thanks to Mike Einziger. His tone on the first 3 Incubus albums is like eating a toasted peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Crunchy, gooey, and so so sweet.
wow, that mini rec is a beast. i felt it sat really well in the mix. just a tad tighter lows and over all tone, clearer and a bit more presence in the mids. mind you, i like to add mids to my beautiful single rec. gorgeous guitar and playing.
It's great indeed! It has a little bit more mids by default so I had to scoop it a bit to get it to sound closer to the Dual, but it can help to make it sit better in a mix for sure!
@@SonicDriveStudio i've been eyeing up the mini rectoverb for some time. just can't part with my single rec and can't afford 2 x mesa's. you have a fun job playing with all that gear.
The Dual sounded huge because of the extended lows and fizzy highs, sounded very scooped like the mesa sound we all love. The Mini didn't sound bass heavy of fizzy (still lots of highs), i could pick up around the 800hz area a bump (which brings up the pick attack) and another around the 200hz-300hz (which sounds woofy/boxy, not particular to the mesa sound).
Congrats for your new guitar man!! I closed my eyes and listened the two amps and that mini Recto sounds sooooooooooooo good that makes me have wet dreams!!!
Dude, such a great riff! Most importantly, that tone you achieved is amazing. I’m really wanting to get the mini rectifier because of price but I’m not sure it can get that fat beefy sound that a dual or triple rectifier can. But you made that mini sound awesome!
Nu Metal is HFS bridge and Vintage Bass in the neck. The great era of Custom 24 PRS. I do prefer the new PRS pickups though. The 85/15 is a great take on what a modern yet calm pickup could be, and the \m/ mainly fixes all the things people don't like in the HFS (spongy lows and sometimes harsh trebles).
I've been rocking a PRS Custom 22 and a Mesa Triple Rectifier since 2008. Eric Weaver from 12 Stones is the reason period. Breaking Benjamin all time favorite band my band wouldn't have gotten on the radio if it wasn't for those guys. I'll be a PRS/Mesa guy until I die. Ordering a Badlander soon also saving up for a McCarty 594. Excited for the quad cortex too should get it soon.
This is one of the coolest comments, not many people I know have heard of 12 stones. Also right there with you BB is my all time favorite, wouldn’t of picked up a guitar if it weren’t for the album Dear Agony. Those riffs mesmerized me when I was younger
The numetal guys didn't use the stock pickups much and the guitar for numetal was a custom 22 or 24. But numetal guys were using a lot of powerful pickups after Dimebag got that groove metal thing going.
Nice job man!!!! Reminds me the old days when I purchased my first Ibanez and recto to sound like that... Of course it was a 6 string tuned in drop A with 9 to 46 string gauge for a huge flubby (shity) sound.... I miss this time; nu metal was awesome ...
It's really interesting to me that Mesa went to such lengths to give players headroom in the power amp stage, throwing 150 watts at us in the Triple Rectifier, clearly meant to cater to a player who wanted all their distortion to come from the preamp stage - but it's the Mini Rectifier that sounds the best in a mix. There's something about a power amp being pushed in a smaller amp that's hard to replicate, and it's interesting as I said, that Mesa went in the totally opposite direction in the 90s and early 2000s.
I had the chance to play a 1997 Mira, if a guitar described the "Les Paul" sound it was that guitar. What's funny is there was one almost identical but a few years newer and it played and sounded nothing like the 97' and both were stock.
Such an iconic sound and the demo track you wrote was killer too. Both amps are great, but I have to give it up to the 100 watt head. It just has more authority and a bolder sound. The mini is no slouch though and also sounds great.
Thos bands I always def think of PRS haha. As an honorable mention, Chevelle. I always loved their tone and their interesting use of string scratching and pinch harmonics.
Nice tone as usual :) For once, i'm gonna go with the mini-rectifier. It seated better in the mix since it had less prominent low end while the dual had a tad too much.
If you get a chance try a Mesa Single Rectifier! One of the best Rectifiers, I have owned Dual & Triple Rec both, and I kept my Single over them. The Mesa Heartbreaker is a FANTASTIC amp as well, my favorite mesa ever!! Def not a common choice but I would NEVER sell my Heartbreaker
great thanks..if you are looking for a vintage-modern pickup just get an EMG 58, the best ever made and most underrated humbucker in my experience..and by the way the framus cobra is the best rectifier :)
I still play through a Mesa TripleRec 1/2 stack (when in a venue/area that warrants it.) I've always wanted a PRS, but for now my ESPh1000 & LP Custom sound freakin' amazing.
Beautiful guitar! I think the Dual Rec had a bit more sizzle, and maybe a bit more refined when isolated. But that mini sounded really good too! Just got a Badlander, and looking for a PRS guitar or Music Man Axis to go along with it. You rock, bro!
I am a fan of the mini rectifier. It sounds more dry to me and I prefer that when palm muting. The bass willl fill that void in the mix anyway. Great video again I really enjoy your content !
Low to medium output pickups are actually great for metal; you just need a really high gain amp, or else grab a tube screamer. Vintage Les Paul PAF or L6S Jazz style pickups into a boosted amp actually sounds a LOT better than you'd think. The saturation has a... I guess "smooth with little bubbles quality" would be the right phrasing, idk how else to describe it. Sounds gnarly though. PAF bridge with a p90 neck is my go to, but that's probably just me. TBH, a lot of Nu Metal bands had what sounded like that kind of distortion tone with a modern tone layered over it, especially Linkin Park, because Mike played Ibanez RG's with INF1 and INF2 pickups and Brad always had his PRS with DiMarzio D-sonic bridge pickups, which were medium output and specifically voiced for Dropped C# and lower.
The bigger recto head is certainly “better” to my ear, lots of harmonics and a bit tighter bottom end. But the little mini recto still sounds great. I’ve been using a rectoverb 25 for years with a 2x12 recto cab and have never felt underpowered. It’s the same circuit as the mini but with a spring reverb tank.
I switched from a 3 channel rectifier to a mini several years ago because I lived in an apartment... the mini was still too loud haha but the size was perfect (with a 112 rectifier cab). I miss having the 100 watt head and the OS 412 cab because of the punchy oomph, but the mini still has the core tone. It's still super punchy though, just not the same visceral experience. high five.

Those tones were still pretty nu metal. Most post grunge, hard rock and nu metal bands had similar tones.

He uses a Triple Rec on the orange channel, a PRS Archon, and 2 Mesa 4x12’s with V30’s.
Look at his rundown on the Alter Bridge UA-cam channel.
I believe early on he also used Fender Showman which are 2 × 15's!
Fantastic video. I love that sound in the mix. I must be a 90's & early 2000's metal kid.
Trading that Ibanez for this PRS.....seems like you got the deal of the century dude! I'd take this PRS over 3 of those Ibanezes any day!
Studio is looking so pretty! Sounds great per usual Jon. Chunky and beefy for sure. That baby Rec sounds MASSIVE! Miss ya bud, hope you're well.
Thanks man. Hope you're doing good!
Korn's sound was Ibanez Universe guitars with Mesa dual rectos.
The big rectifier sounds so good!! I love that sound combo.
Who in their right mind would trade their PRS for an Ibanez!! There are a lot of good guitars, but PRS is THA GUITAR! Sounds killer mate!
It was an amazing Ibanez really
Ibanez all day for 7s and 8s .

I would love a video where you slave the mini into different 100 watt heads to get that huge sound!
