Mesa Dual Rectifier profiles

mightypudge · November 4, 2015 at 4:23 AM

Hey guys! Wanted to get your suggestions for some good Mesa Dual Rectifier profiles.

There are a lot of free and commercially available profiles (and I've bought quite a few) but many seem to be focused only on the Red channel and are tailored for modern metal. They seem to be extremely tight and aggressive, and lack the fluid playability and smoothness I always liked about the Dual Rec.

While profiles of the Red channel certainly have their place, there is way more to the Dual Rectifier than just that one tone. I owned several Dual Rectifiers in my time and honestly I loved the Orange channel quite a bit. With a decent boost pedal that channel really sings.

My plan is to use these profiles for 90's style rock covers and originals.

So, lay it on me! Where can I find some really good Dual Rec profiles that truly showcase it's flexibility and strengths in a straight up rock setting?

I have a few but mostly for metal. I dont have Guido's but I think that should be a good starting point for inquiry. Ive heard they are quite good in the ways you want

There are loads of Rectifier profiles around and I made the same experience: to large extent metal only plus a harsh/trebly and somewhat lifeless character.

My best recommendation for a balanced set of profiles, covering ALL sound options the Dual Rec offers is the Deadlightstudio pack.

No effects, raw sound, rich details, every mode per channel.

I have some nice Dual Rectifier highgain rigs. Realy shacking the floor and makes noce 80`s sound with a lot of Mesabottom, and smooth sustain. Dont remember what profile i used..a lot of them is good

Ive got TAF ones and i think they sound very good, I know Andy has profiled some new ones recently which i would think will be even better than the original ones and are probably going to be released soon. It maybe worth getting the old ones and trying them, then if you like them the new ones might be even better

Yep i profiled all channels in all gainstages + useful eq settings...boosted + unboosted and everything SiliconDiode + tube Rectified.
Makes a total of 49 DI profiles x 4 cabinets = 198 merged Profiles. That should cover all your needs

I like Premier Profiles' Rack Rectifier pack. Small, efficient pack which covers a lot of ground, from clean to rock to high gain.
