I like the TOV clean over the other Rectifier series stuff, personally. Is there a big difference? I dunno. Maybe it was just the one I had, but it had a lot better 'feel,' IMO. I also preferred the gain over the Solo heads of the time, as well. (Mid/later 90's.) In fact, I'd love to have another Trem O Verb, at some point. They cover a lot of ground really well.
From the clips I've heard the gain sounds a little less aggressive and fizzy around 6k....which I like. It's what drew me to the Roadster initially. I think I'm going to go for it.
Yeah, it wasn't as 'brutal' as the Solo, which is why I liked it. It did 'pretty heavy' well, though. The band I was in at the time covered Forty Six And Two, and I nailed that sound with it.
I also pulled of SRV with the clean channel and Iron Maiden with the dirty at a jam, once. Both on the same G&L ASAT Classic. :lol
Seriously, that amp took to single coils and humbuckers equally well, and covered the blues through a lot of the modern metal (90's) tones with no sweat. I also boosted with a TS-9 from time to time, for just a little more/tighter grunt.
Anyone that says they can't get a good sound out of a recto is doing it wrong.... Tone monsters.
+1 on the gain low with an OD though, not 100% necessary, but definately a really good way to get a good tone. I actually like the presence all the way up, but that's just me.
I didn't say I couldn't get a good sound out of it, I just didn't get along with it. I guess I'm more of a pissed off Marshall tone fan.
I'd agree they seem a little warmer than regular dual recs. I played one in a studio cranked wide open through a rectifier cab and it sounded better than my personal dual rec. Either way they have a great tone if you run with or without boost in my own opinion. I use vintage more than modern on my rectifiers though and since trying boost a maxon od808 is a sweet sound through a dual or triple, so tight and heavy
