@@xalexissleepingx you could be right. The earliest mention I could find on them was from 2009. That just proves how good they were made even way back then. Throw a modern IR on them and they still sound really solid to this day!!
Great comparison, very useful video! And my late congrats on 1K+ subs! Man, your channel is high value content and good proper metal spirit, keep it up! Music is one if the best things in life, IMO. Feel for your depression! Wishing you strength and inspiration, and to your channel - fast and steady growth, well-deserved! As for the amp sims here - Tonality Josh Middleton is surprisingly my favorite in this demo, the most balanced, full and natural to my ear. Though it's all arguable. I also like Amp Locker Califier - second place here (I have been using Audio Assault plugins a lot for years, love them). Third place in my list goes to Neural Amp Modeler and good old Lecto. Others are also fine. Meanwhile, Amplitube 5 is underwhelming, which is also surprising considering it's price, the CPU cost and heavy load times.
@@greymatter800 thank you very much for all the kind words. It is such a good feeling when people enjoy the content. I’m actually taking a few weeks off from UA-cam. Life is just so busy and it’s really hard to get motivated to do music and create content when life just makes you so tired. It’s times like these I just like to sit back and listen to some music and recharge the creative batteries! My channel and all you guys are so important to me but even that has to take a back seat to my mental health. I agree that all the amp sims in this video except amplitube 5 are fantastic. I’ve had such a hard time getting Amplitube to sound good. The amps sound good to simply play but in a mix it’s not very good. Although I do love some of the clean presets. Especially in the Joe satriani pack.
@@DuFFuLHi, I’ve just come across your channel looking some mesa recto vsts review. Great job, I’m definitely going to try STL pluggins. Regarding Amplitube 5, which I own, as many others said it here on YT, for many amp models you have to increase the input gain by 12-15 dB to make it sound right. Have you tried doing this? Another mesa vst worth trying is the one in metal suite by Softube. Btw, their Marshall amp sims are really great and realistic.
@@jantelega9310 Thank you. I'm glad you liked the video. I have tried the input gain thing on amplitube but I still don't feel it gets the same tone as some of the other plugins. It could be just me haha. I do like amplitube but I find it just has to be used differently than other plugins. I have not tried any stuff from Softube but I've heard great thing about it. I may have to take the plunge and give it a go, I think.
Had no idea that was how and why you started your channel mate. Good on you, must have taken courage for that. Really enjoy watching your videos, they're always a good time!
@@coryyoung1876 yeh man. I was in a pretty dark place and needed something to focus on. Music always brings me back. The one passion that has always been with me. Thanks for the kind words man. Really appreciate it. All you guys keep me going with channel. Bunch of legends!!
Ultimate Heavy Drums plugin sounds amazing indeed. Feels like the best of acoustic drums 1990-s metal tone. Like the essence of groove metal era drum sound, which I love.
@@greymatter800 ultimate heavy drums has easily become my go to drum plugin now. It’s so simple to sit in a mix that when I just want to write something and not have to struggle and waste time trying to get a mix right, it’s just perfect
Your timing with this video is impeccable! I was literally listening to dual rectifier amp sims on youtube and messing with some free trials. Then this video popped onto my feed saying "4 minutes ago." I just found your page recently too because you helped me confirm which EZX to get (Death Metal EZX). And I was pleased with your recommendation and comparison video. You rock!! 🔥🤘😎🤘🔥
@@fightclub94 hahaha thanks mate!!! Clearly it was fate that I was to put out this video right now! Hopefully this will help you choose. I would highly recommend tonality Josh Middleton as you get probably the best dual rectifier out there and also the best 5150s out there combined in one plugin. I’m glad my video helped with your ezx purchase as well. I love the death metal expansion. One of the most underrated expansions for ezdrummer for sure. I’m really glad you are enjoying the channel. Thank you so much for watching!!
@@DuFFuL Right on. Actually, there is a buy one get one free sale on tonality plugins currently. Any recommendation on what the second Tonality Plugin should be? The Lasse Lammert and Andy James would be free since they're the same price. Any experience with them?
@@fightclub94 I actually don't have any experience with the tonality stuff outside of Josh Middleton sorry mate. I try to buy a few plugins from a bunch of different companies instead of a bunch of plugins from one company if that makes sense. I like to have a range of stuff, but I only started checking out the Tonality stuff recently, so I don't have a lot to say on them. I do want to get more but the budget is a little tight at the moment lol. This shit be expensive!!!
@@Steadybeheady Thank you so much. That's the direction I was leaning in, but didn't know enough about it. I knew the Andy James had good tones, but was told it's starting to get outdated. That's all I had heard though, so thank you!

New plugins are just a drop in an ocean of plugins and that hard for the companies to get noticed now. Worst part is they are starting to look and sound the same. With the exact same UI layout and features. Hard to get excited about something that is the same as everything else.
@@DuFFuL yeah I got about six of them by now and just like you said... Nothing really new anymore. All of them are fantastic but if you have one you are probably good for life
Nicely done! Interesting to hear how similar most amps sounded with disabled cabs through the Mikko 2. Good for consistency, so great choice there. Yesterday I tried out the now free Brainworx rect-clone called "Megasingle" and liked it very much. The built-in cab and signal chain presets were awesome, 49 of them where the "german" and "american" ones sounded killer.
I agree. STL tones definitely is top of this list. While some of the others sound good as well, the just don't have the clarity and realism of STL. Thank you for watching!!
Great shootout man! Thanks, I was looking for something to compare the Ampenstein Rektifier and this one was perfect. I was surprised how good Amp Locker stood against the AmpHub one. The Lecto won at the low end bed territory! But I think Amp Locker and Amphub are the best here. I don't know if I should get the Ugritone now for just 10€...Idk!
@@MilkoOfficialChannel the ampenstien was probably my least favourite of the bunch. It sounds ok in a mix but on its own it’s actually pretty horrible. I was very surprised by how good the amp locker one was as well. You can pick that up for $5 right now on special. Actually most of their amps are on special. They are so worth it for $5 each!! I’d highly recommend them
Well, this time the sound levels seemed to be balanced! I thought the first 4 amps sounded basically indistinguishable! And I'm glad the boys at AA nailed their Recto this time unlike the AHM in the previous video 🙉 And once again Amplitube sounded like a toy 🙉 The age old Lepou fared very well here. It's crazy to think that this 10 yo FREE plugin can give u 80-90% of the BEST Recto sound on the market today! I have really liked the Pectifier, but was kinda surprised that it had a bit different tone compared to others here. Perhaps lacking some bottom end 🤔 And though u praised the Liver, I thought it was "lacking body" (like u or someone said in another video). It's super tight thou, but it's needlessly surgical, which makes it sound thin in a mix. Maybe moar gain would have been needed 🤔
@@MaximusAdonicus again this is why I did the comparisons how I did them. If I tone matched all of them to a tone I personally like, and you don’t like that tone, you would hate them all. This gives a base setting and a clear, consistent look at how the amps sound in the same environment. I think this works better. Perhaps I will do another video on both again where I try to get the best out of all the amps I can and not worry about base settings.
I am recording today with Josh's Rectifier, it keeps popping up in my mixes, I can't help myself, it blends so well with other amps, thick, tough, with a boost to tighten it up, its one of my faves, some of the others plugins sound too thin to be a true recto imho. STL all the way for me, the AMPHUB stuff is awesome, and Fluffs effort is pretty bloody good too. Love the mix track, sounds mean af! ❤🤘🏽🇦🇺
Thank mate. I appreciate the listen. I've honestly never been a real Rectifier fan myself. Too much bottom end for my liking. I've always been a 5150 or Soldano lover. If I had to choose though, it's definitely the STL amphub one. The Josh Middleton one is a close second with amped roots pulling up in third. I could probly get all the other ones sounding better but I like to keep all the settings as close to each other as possible. I did accidentally screw up the Pod far Cali one with the gain to high and the Liver 6 one had two cabs on it due to the fact you cant turn the cab off. I should've just used its stock cab for it. I was really tired today pushing out a video and stuffed a few things lol. Only human hahaha
@@DuFFuL lol, im the opposite!

Funny, the first 3 are in order of my favorites.. Middleton, Amphub then Roots. Though, Mercuriall is missing from this shootout and I'd say they could be in the running for my top 3, the recto and EVH III S they do hit pretty right!
I would agree that it pretty much my top 3 as well. I'm not a huge rectifier fan but those 3 are probably the easiest to get a good tone out of. I didn't add Mercurial because I don't own it unfortunately. Everything I review I have to pay so it hard to get everything lol.

The amped roots one is pretty decent, the Josh Middleton one was alright I guess. I was kinda disappointed the the ML sound lab Triple RevG one to be honest. Does't NeuralDSP have a masa boogie mark 11C+ or is that meant to be something different?
Yeh that based on the Mark 11c+ which is a completely different range of amps from the rectifiers. The rectifiers were made to replace the Mark series as a way of simplifying as the Mark 2s were very strange to use with their EQ setup. They sounded great, as long as you knew how to use them properly.
For sure. It is surprising that those old free plugins, with the right impulse response, can still sound so damn good. I have a bunch of the old free ones and honestly, they sound better than some of the shit that releases today.
@@HerkeveyHanoar I agree. I could probably get all of these to match pretty close with a bit of time but I wanted to do a comparison with all the setting the same. Some of the 5150s we vastly different to each other though. It was quite surprising. Thanks for watching!!
@@ferox965 the only one that sounded extremely different I feel was the amplitube one. Other than that I guess there is so many way to emulate a dual rec.
@@Durkhead not sure when that was. I’ve always been a fan of their really early sound from the first two albums. So raw and heavy. Two of my favourite albums of all time!!
@@Durkhead nice. I never knew that. They sound similar to the rectifier on later albums but I just prefer the first two albums as a whole for their mixes. So much more raw and dry. Personally I’ve never been a rectifier fan. Too low and sludgy for me. It really suited Nu metal but I’d certainly doesn’t suit my style. Thanks for letting me know me know about the H&K on the first two albums. Very interesting.
LePou Lecto owning most of these newer amp sims and that bastard is a decade old... Food for thought!!

@@ferox965 the only one that sounded extremely different I feel was the amplitube one. Other than that I guess there is so many way to emulate a dual rec.
Korn sounded better when they used hughes & ketner
@@Durkhead not sure when that was. I’ve always been a fan of their really early sound from the first two albums. So raw and heavy. Two of my favourite albums of all time!!
@@DuFFuL first 2 albums they recorded with hughes & kettner amps
@@Durkhead nice. I never knew that. They sound similar to the rectifier on later albums but I just prefer the first two albums as a whole for their mixes. So much more raw and dry.
Personally I’ve never been a rectifier fan. Too low and sludgy for me. It really suited Nu metal but I’d certainly doesn’t suit my style.
Thanks for letting me know me know about the H&K on the first two albums. Very interesting.
@@DuFFuLactually munky uses rectifier meanwhile head uses orange ('cause he' s a orange signature artist)
@@AldoGomezOficial see another thing I didn’t know. Thanks for the info man. I really appreciate it!
