Thanks for watching this video on the nu metal guitar sound! When I think of PRS guitars I tend to think of bands like Incubus, Sevendust, Limp Bizkit, POD, Linkin Park and Nickelback. A lot of those bands used (and some still do) Mesa Boogie Rectifier amps too. So that is a tone combo that does have a legedary status! This video focuses on that sound!
So with my Paul Reed Smith SC58 and Mesa Boogie Dual & Mini Rectifier we aim to get that sound! My Fractal Audio X-Load LB-2, Line 6 Helix Native and OwnHammer Workhorse V30 IRs are also used.
I also took this opportunity to do another little comparison between the big Dual Rectifier and the Rectifier Twenty-five! Watch for the A/B comparison near the end!

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).

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).

@brendansisco490 3 года назад

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

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.

@AndiKravljaca 3 года назад

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.

@luiza177music 3 года назад

See, this is why I love your riffs. Not to mention tone, PRS+Recto FTW. Also, late 90s/early 2000s PRS likely had the HFS+Vintage or Dragon pickup combos in them. I'm surprised you have the bass so high in the mini (which is what I also have). Do you ever put an overdrive in front of it? I've been experimenting with that a lot.
