I have found the recto amp model on the Tonelab SE to be one of the most difficult to get a useful sound out of. The drive gets muddy very quickly and the buzz is a little overdone.
After several attempts to get a convincing Rectifier tone I ended up with this. The inspiration was Brad Gillis and Jeff Watsons rythmn sound from pretty much any of the Night Ranger albums, basically fairly classic Mesa Boogie Rectifiers.

Go figure…

Sat, 2008/04/05 - 7:38am — mself61ok guys, especially new comers, the site is experiencing some changes and some thing have been deleted (accidentally I'm sure) but all the post with .tlp files may not work, I suggest you go to my tonelabe page and look for a needle in a haystack. I don't have time right now myself to do this for you. there are tons of patches there and it really might not be to hard to find on that works for you.
