My first nice amp was an OG block letter 5150 my dad got me when I was a teenager in 1996. We were kinda poor but my dad and I both loved Eddie and I was getting good at the guitar so he went for it. Solid guy. A few years later in college I thought it was cooler to have a Marshall so I traded it for a JCM 2000 TSL 60w. Yeah... 60 w. I'm a total douche. I still have that stupid TSL. Now that I'm the same age as my dad was then, and he's gone from the earth, that TSL reminds me of how cool my dad was and how stupid I was. I'm a doctor now and very grateful so have a little money so bought all the 5150s. I wish I could give them all to my dad. RIP dad. I know you know that I was as stupid as you were once.
Hello, this is my first video here. Great job. I am a bass player, and when the band came off tour for the last time, my guitarist needed money to start his new path in life. so I thought i was helping him with buying his ?1997? Dual Rec. I had only ever heard it on large stages. We had a case maker design flight cases, so we didnt have to take them out of the case. We just removed the front lid/front and unsealed a small plate in the back to plug into. Let me tell you, he did me the solid by selling it to me. Holy S#!+ ! I have had duals paired with the oversized cabs 8-10 times in my studio prior to this point. This THING is a monster! It stays inside the stag/flight case with the front off. The low end is so HUGE yet it sounds so translucent with a face melting sound. Your gutz RuMbLe. Now, saying that when I take it out of the case it sounds like every other oversized Mesa cab. If you can recreate this in any of your own studios, this is a MUST DO!!! But what do I know, I'm just a bass player. ;) Nice channel BTW. Keep it up!
Dude, how?!!! This thing sounds freakin’ amazing. Best recto tone I have heard in TH-cam videos (and I’ve been watching a lot of them as I’m debating getting a recto). I think I’m sold after seeing this video. Also need a Mr Scary mod obviously. Thank you for another awesome video, as always. 👊🏼
Yes, I sold my 99 Triple Recto. Most amazing sounding recto I've ever played and only heard a few on youtube with the same mojo this thing had. Sold it along with the oversize 4x12 cab before I went to college and regretted it every day of my adult life.
The 90s dual rectos were things of legend. And while I still like the amp - and it sound super unique... not sure if I'd ever want to have one anymore.
@@scleless13426505 or 6505+’s are relatively cheap and do it better, not just a one trick pony. There are a few simple and cheap/fun mods for the 6505+ that gives you more clarity and feel, better cleans, better bias adjustability so it’s not so cold sounding, and still have tons of saturation with the 6 preamp tubes. Once it’s modded, I think it’s better than the 6505/OG 5150.

Hey Kyle! Have you considered the possibility of a series of videos looking at pedal-type amplifiers like the Blackstar Amped 3, the BluGuitar Amp 1 Iridium, etc. and comparing them to conventional tube amps? If somebody has the right collection of tube amps to make an informed comparison, that's you man.
Sounds dope, never saw one of those before. Is the one you're using in your recto the standard or reverse wired? Site doesn't talk about anything but Marshalls.
I wonder why it says this on the motorcityguitars website? Popular amps that the HMV2/Lynch Mod DO NOT WORK with include: Marshall Silver Jubilee series, Marshall Origin series, Marshall DSL/TSL series, Mesa Boogie amps, and Hiwatt.
I regret selling my Peavey 3120 head & 412 half stack. Not that I need 120 watts or have a place to play those 120 watts but all three channels were usable and sounded really good.
You also have str-430 power tubes in that. Those are the Sovtec 6L6wxt that mesa used for a short time. They are a bit clearer and tighter in the lows IMO,,,,compared to the 420 that are more common mesa chinese tubes.
Yep. My 1992 Charvel Rhoads CRR 068. Made for 1 year. Purchased from a shop in Russia for $400. Sold for $700 and got damaged in shipping so one less in the pool. It was almost mint.
Man this is absolutely amazing!! Wish I still had my Rectifier. Would be curious if this would work on the OR15? Feel like that amp would also benefit with the extra headroom in the preamp
I had a 95/96 2 channel dual - took the 6l6’s out, had it biased for the el34’s… old stock rca pre amp tubes. Mesa slant 4x12 (20 watt speakers? Don’t recall)…. Ran it on the CLEAN channel with the gain about 75%… thing would melt your face off…. Try that…. Yes, I wish I didn’t sell that rig off… sold the head and cab seperate…. Around 2001…
Also interested in this, I have an old Solano hot mod but I think it does not work on master volume amplifiers. That’s why you need a reverse hot mod like the one on this video, right?
@@vanespedals1023 Well, I know the Legendary Tones Hot Mod was inspired by the Soldano unit, but I don't know how similar they are. As far as the LT one, for a Recto you need the Standard wiring, not the reverse. I tried it today and it works great!
Throughout this video I was getting more and more excited about dusting off my old Rectoverb DR head which had been relegated to a permanent location in the closet. Until I heard the price for the mod. Damn... 320 bucks is like half of what I paid for this amp some years back. The mod sounds incredible though... So now you MUST put the Mr. Scary mod into EVERY amp you demo! 😁 I would be curious to see what it would do to something like a Bogner Uber or a Diezel VH4 (if you have one). Not that they need a mod - just curious what's possible. Or how about the mod in something like a Fender Super Sonic - would that make it a metal amp? 🤩 At the moment I am living in Asia away from my "real" amps back in the US - playing the PRS MT15 which I bought on your recommendation. No regrets there - what a great amp! Thanks for steering me in the right direction! 🤘
There are few amps that sound as brutal as a rectifier with a boost. It just always annoyed me that my Roadster always sounded flubby without the boost so I spent more time turning knobs than playing. In addition to the sound, without the boost it was also lacking that awesome feel when palm muting like you are taming a beast, which gets loose when you stop palm muting. It was just always the same level. With the boost it sounded absolutely crushing though, much like the tone in your video. Sometimes when I hear a great rectifier tone I do regret selling it.
To answer your question...yes! A 1987 Fernandes Brad Gillis super strat. Man that guitar was cool. Big mistake letting it go. But I was 16, so I didn't know about seller's remorse yet.
To my ears, that mod pushes the Rectifier sound in a more a SLO-100 like direction. Pretty incredible! Also, what pickups are in the Balaguer? They sound awesome!
Ive been saying it the entire time, the 2ch Rectifiers just sound in my opinion that much better then the 3ch heads. That's why I still own a 2ch Triple Rectifier head.
Kyle, try to set the TS with the volume at 2 o'clock, gain at 0 and tone to taste. I used to avoid to set the volume at max with my Recto. It sounds fantastic, anyway.
The more output the better on a boost in front of a stock rectifier for me, that way I can keep the gain on the amp lower and reap the benefits of the preamp not being overly compressed
When I was in high school I managed to get my hands on a really nice 5150 signature half stack. Didn’t know at the time that it was and is still to this day one of the more popular amps for rock/metal. Well, I wasn’t playing as much and ended up selling it. One of the few real regrets I have in life.
I don't jive with the 5150 voicing at all,as a matter of fact I actually hate the way the sound but I absolutely love the sound of the Mesa Boogie,don't shed a tear because you ain't missing much.grab an old Mesa and you will quickly forget about that old peavey
Nice video man, I need to try this on my rev F! One question though: V3 is the triode that is responsible for the last gain stage and the cathode follower pre tone stack. Have you tried putting the scary mod in v2, thus affecting 2nd and 3rd gain stages? keep it up!
Never played a real Dual Rec but have played some sims and have always struggled with them because of that muddy gain i could never get a tone I liked. While there is no Mr Scary mod for simulators I now understand how the gain on a Dual Rec works and that will help me shape a tone I like.
I also never played a real one cause it's too much $$$ but I plugged in my guitar to an amp sim with no overdrive or anything and for me it's perfect. I didn't need any OD I just have EMG 85x in the bridge
I understand that your content is more amp based and plugins is not your deal, but it would be interesting to hear your take on amp plugins that simulate amps you have in your collection, like Josh Middleton has a plugin modeling his personal 5150, rectifier and triple x.
Had a brand new Mesa boogie triple rectifier. I had to sell it to pay some relocation bills. Ughh 😢😢. It was Awesome 😎👍💯👋👋🎸🎸 want to buy one again 😊😊✌️✌️
Kyle got a huge request. My son has a mesa boogie 3 channel and as you probably know the 3 channel lacks in mid range butter and attack, can you install the Mr. scary into a 3 channel ? Maybe it would sound better with this mod. My son is a bit frustrated with the tone so maybe this would be a huge improvement? And help his metal tone.
3 channels , like all other rectifiers, can be a crapshoot depending on when it was made. I've played many of them and they are all over the place. the one that I currently have definitely does not lack mid-range in any way, so unfortunately it wouldn't be an accurate test. I would say so the one you have if you're not happy with it and look for another one
@belligerentamateur I was just wondering if that Mr. Scary mod would improve his tone before dumping the amp. It sounds good on your amp so I'm assuming it would improve his.

Hey the TSL rips too man!!
Anything called Mr. Scary is guaranteed to deliver.
Also, when playing makes you smile huge and smile, it's crazy joy.

In addition to the sound, without the boost it was also lacking that awesome feel when palm muting like you are taming a beast, which gets loose when you stop palm muting. It was just always the same level. With the boost it sounded absolutely crushing though, much like the tone in your video. Sometimes when I hear a great rectifier tone I do regret selling it.
To answer your question...yes! A 1987 Fernandes Brad Gillis super strat. Man that guitar was cool. Big mistake letting it go. But I was 16, so I didn't know about seller's remorse yet.
To my ears, that mod pushes the Rectifier sound in a more a SLO-100 like direction. Pretty incredible!
Also, what pickups are in the Balaguer? They sound awesome!
I’m pretty sure he has Seymour Duncan distortions in that
Funny thing is the preamp of the rectifier is based on SLO's preamp
Ive been saying it the entire time, the 2ch Rectifiers just sound in my opinion that much better then the 3ch heads. That's why I still own a 2ch Triple Rectifier head.
Kyle, try to set the TS with the volume at 2 o'clock, gain at 0 and tone to taste. I used to avoid to set the volume at max with my Recto. It sounds fantastic, anyway.
The more output the better on a boost in front of a stock rectifier for me, that way I can keep the gain on the amp lower and reap the benefits of the preamp not being overly compressed
Do you know if it work with the Badlander ?
That's a great question! Kyle, do you know?
I doubt it. Ask @legenarytones guys. Not Kyle. He was just informed it worked on the old 2 channel rectos. SMH
Kyle, thanks for the video.
I’ll be watching to see about the multi watt.
Any idea when it might be available for purchase?
edges?
@@belligerentamateur sorry, typo. I meant a production version
Curious to know the serial # of that Rev G? Sounds really great. I have #4769 w nearly the same cosmetics
55xx on this one, don't remember the exact serial
Do you prefer this over a newer multi watt?
Killer, Kyle!!!
Thanks for sharing!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
That blacked out Dual Rec looks sick.
Bro! That might be an emergency, take it the Tube Amp Doctor!!
When I was in high school I managed to get my hands on a really nice 5150 signature half stack. Didn’t know at the time that it was and is still to this day one of the more popular amps for rock/metal. Well, I wasn’t playing as much and ended up selling it. One of the few real regrets I have in life.
I don't jive with the 5150 voicing at all,as a matter of fact I actually hate the way the sound but I absolutely love the sound of the Mesa Boogie,don't shed a tear because you ain't missing much.grab an old Mesa and you will quickly forget about that old peavey
Nice video man, I need to try this on my rev F!
One question though: V3 is the triode that is responsible for the last gain stage and the cathode follower pre tone stack.
Have you tried putting the scary mod in v2, thus affecting 2nd and 3rd gain stages?
keep it up!
Hey man, according to David at LegendaryTones, it has to go in the cathode follower position or it will not work
@@belligerentamateur understood, thanks for confirming this!
I actually liked how it sounded when you bumped the mic😂
Cool video.
Do you know if this mod works with Rectoverbs (50watters)?
nice tone ! it seems like the mod is introducing a lot of hum on the amp !
Is this thing why your old multi watt is listed on reverb?
I had no idea the mrscary works in the rectifier!!! Im getting my rev g out again 😁
Damn. Those downtuned riffs sound NASTY. I think I'm in love.
That thing sounds brutal without the scary already
That’s pretty cool, I’ve seen these before, but didn’t know how well it would do or if it could damage something.
I love the Espada's sizzle
hey kyle!!! my friend and i just watched...he has the same recto...what tube position does the mr scary go in...many thanx and cheers brother!!!!
V3
Never played a real Dual Rec but have played some sims and have always struggled with them because of that muddy gain i could never get a tone I liked. While there is no Mr Scary mod for simulators I now understand how the gain on a Dual Rec works and that will help me shape a tone I like.
I also never played a real one cause it's too much $$$ but I plugged in my guitar to an amp sim with no overdrive or anything and for me it's perfect. I didn't need any OD I just have EMG 85x in the bridge
What boost pedal are you using?
I understand that your content is more amp based and plugins is not your deal, but it would be interesting to hear your take on amp plugins that simulate amps you have in your collection, like Josh Middleton has a plugin modeling his personal 5150, rectifier and triple x.
Notice the crate bv cab don’t sleep on the blue voodoo line!
Had a brand new Mesa boogie triple rectifier. I had to sell it to pay some relocation bills. Ughh 😢😢. It was Awesome 😎👍💯👋👋🎸🎸 want to buy one again 😊😊✌️✌️
Yow, Mat not Damon. You think these would work on the 3 channel multi watt?
where I can order that mod for the recto?
legendarytones.com
Sounds so damn good with the Mr. Scary
Kyle got a huge request. My son has a mesa boogie 3 channel and as you probably know the 3 channel lacks in mid range butter and attack, can you install the Mr. scary into a 3 channel ? Maybe it would sound better with this mod. My son is a bit frustrated with the tone so maybe this would be a huge improvement? And help his metal tone.
3 channels , like all other rectifiers, can be a crapshoot depending on when it was made. I've played many of them and they are all over the place. the one that I currently have definitely does not lack mid-range in any way, so unfortunately it wouldn't be an accurate test. I would say so the one you have if you're not happy with it and look for another one
@belligerentamateur I was just wondering if that Mr. Scary mod would improve his tone before dumping the amp. It sounds good on your amp so I'm assuming it would improve his.
All out war riff at 17min dope
where did you have the output knob set during this demo?
The sd 1 sounds the best with it imo
Dude! That thing is fucking sick! Now I must find one...
No class 💯 I go there!
And I just got a MT15 and I love it
