Good day!
The clone of Wampler's Triple Wreck... The Rectorizer made by PLUG Electronics (plugzzz). To say the least, this pedal is a MESA Boogie Triple Rectifier in a box. Very versatile high gain distortion pedal I love it!
So let's go to my review:
Sound: I love the bass response in this pedal, CHUG CHUG machine! If you're familiar with Mark Tremonti's sound, it's close to it. But if you wanna go trebley, there would be no problem on this very versatile pedal. From bluesy crunch to NU metal, the possibilities are endless. Even at high gain, the notes are still clear. Again, the bass response of this pedal is what makes so special... You gotta hear it personally. It's Triple Wreck clone, it's 100% like Triple Wreck.
Ease of use: Controls present in this pedal are Bass, Mid, Treble, Gain, Volume/Level, Gain and the Crunch/Smooth. Say what?! Crunch/Smooth control? Yes, Crunch/Smooth control. How to use it? Just step on the Boost switch and dial the Crunch/Smooth control to get that Metal Muff sound... very warm I should say. It's really hard to explain but it's there and it sounds good.
There are also Vintage and Warm Mode Control. Vintage says MESA Boogie Triple Rectifier... and for me the Warm mode is like a Marshall mode. Again, very versatile.
Durability & Looks: Looks great, MESA looks, like a MESA Amp converted into a pedal. Durablity, this is built for war, heavy and very sturdy... this thing will last forever.
Verdict: I've always liked the MESA Triple Recto amp, I love the sound of it... Wampler's Triple Wreck made it a possiblity but Plugzzz Rectorizer made it happen! Easy to use pedal, versatile and durable. For the price I paid, it's a steal. Made from premium parts, it really sounds good. Plug it into any amplifiers, I say it'll still sound great. Just perfect for my set-up.
- Demo by Plugzzz with my actual unit of the Rectorizer... I say you gotta hear it personally... much much much better.
Thanks!
