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!

Early 2000s guitar tone was all about PRS with ceramic pickups through a scooped Mesa.
Love it.
so where les pauls
@@Z32spdstr Yellowcard
PRS and Dual Rec was always my dream rig as a teen listening to nu metal!
Same
same man.
Absolutely
same!
Same.
I am hearing Shinedown mixed with a LOT of Sevendust on those riffs.
I'm digging it, my dude!
What did you guys think? Sick guitar eh? Also, I got the Dual and Mini to sound pretty close this time, don't you think? Cheers!
Low Frequency is bit much. But Close NU METAL. Cheers
I’m honestly a bit shocked someone else parted with that absolutely awesome prs. Worked out for you. 🤘
@@MatthewFant I couldn't be happier!
@@designislife3893 low frequencies of the guitars or in the full mix?
Congrats on the guitar! Please don't ever change those pickups. 57/08 is one of the best sounding pickups. I've been using a set for years in my CU24.
This sound reminds me a lot Breaking Benjamin, one of the ones I love the most. There others like 12 Stones, Red, Three Days Grace, also similars. Nostalgia...
Love BB!
Definitely got the same feeling for me too. Hearing a baritone in A# would've just sealed the deal here
More prs into mesa
12 Stones is killer
I love every one of those bands today because of their tone!
Say what you want, that combo is the Les Paul + Marshall of the 2000’s. Killer
It seriously was. It's the last true legendary guitar/amp pairing that we've had in rock
Les Paul + Marshall combo started in the 1960s...
@@eyedunno8462 yeah and he is saying this is the 2000's version
@@Julianuribe23 ESP / Ibanez + 6505
@@FEAROWNAGE not iconic enough
That's the sound. Thank you for doing a tribute to the sound I grew up on! It's why the Dual Rectifier is my favorite amp and I just had to get one. And that mini kicks ass!!
Though not "new-metal" that tone is the exact Nickelback tone..Especially All The Right Reasons album.
Totally underrated album. Rockstar and Photograph are the songs that people got sick of hearing, unfortunately. And I think those songs are why Nickelback gets so much hate. The rest of the album is an absolute banger, even today
Those tones were still pretty nu metal. Most post grunge, hard rock and nu metal bands had similar tones.
Na bro nickel back doesn't get hate for their sound... they get hate because Chad's a chode....
@@himsk8r12 sorry buddy Chad is way cooler than you will ever be
@@himsk8r12 I was actually going through Nickelback songs last night because I wanted to re-evaluate, and the lyrics are just so cringeworthy. It's like listening to Poison - loads of catchy riffs and choruses, but the lyrics sound like they're written by a teenage high school bully.
Yep, definitely the more early-mid 2000's flavor of nu metal/post-grunge tone. Breaking Benjamin immediately comes to mind haha.
Congrats on the new PRS! I got a PRS SE 2 years ago, and since then have remembered that Nu Metal/Post-Grunge/Pop Punk/Emo/Metalcore are sick, so now I'm One Step Closer to buying a Mini Rectifier so I can relive the tones of the late 90s and Early 2000s.
I see what you did there.
You have to thank Mark Tremonti for this sound and guitar
Back in the day, Tremonti used a dual amp set up with a Triple Rec and a Bogner Uberschall. He also had custom Mesa cabs with 2x12's and 1x15" in one enclosure (if I remember correctly). Monsterous tone lol
@@dannyschellenberger8268 yes, but basically all prs single cut guitars are based on his first signature guitar. Wich are based on his Les pauls from the early Creed days. He told that story once in an interview. :)
Yes! Its such a (wide open) sound...........
He uses a Triple Rec on the orange channel, a PRS Archon, and 2 Mesa 4x12’s with V30’s.
Look at his rundown on the Alter Bridge CZcams channel.
I believe early on he also used Fender Showman which are 2 × 15's!
Fantastic video. I love that sound in the mix. I must be a 90's & early 2000's metal kid.
God I can't wait for this kind of music to come back in style. I might start doing bands again.
Get a band ready. It’s happening. That’s what I’m doing.
Im trying to learn and take inspiration from Nu metal to make my own style. Im gonna use Panflute, Ocarina and Arabic Oud in my style of Nu metal. Though its gonna be a while for that after ive become better at guitar
this style is 100 percent back at this point. so many bands popping up left and right. middle school-college kids wearing baggy clothes now too
This was a great video. Those riffs sounded really good. I wasn't ready for how badass that was.
Happy to be a new subscriber.
Who in their right mind would trade their PRS for an Ibanez!! There are a lot of good guitars, but PRS is THA GUITAR! Sounds killer mate!
It was an amazing Ibanez really
Ibanez all day for 7s and 8s .
Depends on the ibanez dude
Oh man, I stumbled on this video as a Linkin PArk fan trying to find how to best replicate their sound and your channel is awesome man! Love the way you do reviews and the demos you play sound so sick! Subscribed! Keep it up man! :)
Your sounds are some of the best on CZcams!
The big rectifier sounds so good!! I love that sound combo.
I want that guitar. The PRS single cuts are now my new favourite styles... then the sound.
Great video
Congrats for your new guitar man!! I closed my eyes and listened the two amps and that mini Recto sounds sooooooooooooo good that makes me have wet dreams!!!
You make the best tone education videos out there. Keep it up!
Thanks!
This is the most wholesome review channel. Really enjoy all the videos cheers man ✊
I appreciate it!
Sounds great. Great riffs like always. Enjoy that PRS.
You do the absolute best recto demos on CZcams. I hope you’ll do a full demo of the Badlander like you did for the Dual Rectifier. And then even a comparison video between them would be awesome!
you are a very cool guy.... i love your videos and they help me with decisions.... thank you
Man, I'm so glad to find your channel. You are great!
Thanks!
Love your rifs dude... make me relax with my in ear monotors
Trading that Ibanez for this PRS.....seems like you got the deal of the century dude! I'd take this PRS over 3 of those Ibanezes any day!
Awesome riffs through awesome amps!!
This sound is so amazing bro
I LIKE THAT PRS BRO ! LOOKS GREAT, SOUNDS GREAT!
This was my exact tone in the 90’s loved it.
Sounds like Don Donegal from Disturbed. Nothing wrong with that. Love the mini rec. Have one myself running with a Marshall MGHD100 Head and 4x12 Marshall cab and a Fender GT40 just for the modeling. Ibanez RGRT for the axe
Nice one man! The sc58s kick ass! Love mine so much! Sound massive!!!
I saw your post on sevenstring.org and had to hear the demo. Killer tone from a killer era, and great presentation, subscribing!
the tone reminded me of when nickleback sounded more like metallica than metallica on their "sad but true" cover.
That tone was massive.
Dude, such a great riff! Most importantly, that tone you achieved is amazing. I’m really wanting to get the mini rectifier because of price but I’m not sure it can get that fat beefy sound that a dual or triple rectifier can. But you made that mini sound awesome!
Beautiful guitar and of course those mesas.......
nice review buddy!!!
very cool! amazing tune
The top on that thing is absolutely stunning
You won that trade !!! Awesome.
Watching for the x10 hahahah what an awesome video! Thanks thanks thanks!
awesome sound
Probably my favorite tone ever! Big and chunky.
What a nice tone
Sounds absolutely delicious! Great riffage too.
If Thor played guitar it would be a PRS thru Mesa.
With a boost of course. Unboosted is like fat Thor.
such a beautiful guitar!
About time you got a big boy PRS
I feel like I should be jamming this track in the background while playing OG Xbox and watching Dragon Ball Z
Love The Sound!!
Great riff man
I still am fiending after a Mesa Rectoverb combo thanks to Mike Einziger. His tone on the first 3 Incubus albums is like eating a toasted peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Crunchy, gooey, and so so sweet.
Damn, never heard it described that way but so fucking accurate. Such a delicious tone.
Spot on dude
The guitar tone on Idiot Box reminds me of a T-rex
*_He used a Tremoverb, not a Rectoverb. 🤙_*
This tone is epic
Such an iconic sound and the demo track you wrote was killer too. Both amps are great, but I have to give it up to the 100 watt head. It just has more authority and a bolder sound. The mini is no slouch though and also sounds great.
This was my old Dual Rectifier, great seeing put to good use! Sold it about 7 years ago, did the paintjob myself. Klinkt nog steeds super!
Sweet! Love this amp! It looks cool too :) Bought it from a guy from Dordrecht iirc
@@SonicDriveStudio aah oke, then he sold it to you and I sold it to him. :)
I have a couple of old videos on my channel of this amp of you're interested to see it :)
@@basmesa very cool! Yeah I'll check those out soon! I got it a couple years ago and I use it quite often om the channel
Studio is looking so pretty! Sounds great per usual Jon. Chunky and beefy for sure. That baby Rec sounds MASSIVE! Miss ya bud, hope you're well.
Thanks man. Hope you're doing good!
Nice job man!!!! Reminds me the old days when I purchased my first Ibanez and recto to sound like that...
Of course it was a 6 string tuned in drop A with 9 to 46 string gauge for a huge flubby (shity) sound....
I miss this time; nu metal was awesome ...
Great guitar, you definetley got the best of the trade.
So glad you hit on my favorite numetal trope. The major 3rd octave over the i chord in an otherwise minor type key. 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Absolutely essential…. It used to get used to the max… but it sounds so good!
Great video!)
That is the equipboard of my dreams 🧡
@@wigunateguh4061 yeah, and incubus, limp bizkit, nickleback...
Darn this guy is good - nice guitar and amp!
Yes. You did yourself a huge favor with that swap. On my PRS S2 SC Semi hollow I installed 57/08...Difference in tone is night and day.
Great pickups! Those S2 semi hollows look very nice!
Thanks for the video
Wow, that really does sound different to your usual tones- it’s a very over produced sound, but in a good way...I like it, and the riffs are excellent as always
The second that first riff hit I was instantly taken back to being a kid and an absolute fiend for that shit.
Beautiful guitar! I think the Dual Rec had a bit more sizzle, and maybe a bit more refined when isolated. But that mini sounded really good too! Just got a Badlander, and looking for a PRS guitar or Music Man Axis to go along with it. You rock, bro!
Korn's sound was Ibanez Universe guitars with Mesa dual rectos.
missed the prs be with the pickups of mark tremonti good job friend 🇧🇷 here a hug
Freaking Goosebumps !!!! damn..
wow, that mini rec is a beast. i felt it sat really well in the mix. just a tad tighter lows and over all tone, clearer and a bit more presence in the mids. mind you, i like to add mids to my beautiful single rec. gorgeous guitar and playing.
It's great indeed! It has a little bit more mids by default so I had to scoop it a bit to get it to sound closer to the Dual, but it can help to make it sit better in a mix for sure!
@@SonicDriveStudio i've been eyeing up the mini rectoverb for some time. just can't part with my single rec and can't afford 2 x mesa's. you have a fun job playing with all that gear.
Nailed it!
Killer sound!
that major note 😌
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).
Sounds great
Very old school drowning pool sounding . Hella sick !
I would love a video where you slave the mini into different 100 watt heads to get that huge sound!
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).
9:12 My heart melts
They sound really cool, and I love this IR too! Personally I think I prefer the mid character of the mini recto. It would be nice to hear a comprison with a 5150 with that same IR 😜
Sooo close and sweet!!!
Great video comparison! Both sounded great with their own voice! I tried the mini rect before buying the fireball 25, I think the fireball has more balls. What do you think?
Well I think you got a great deal there! PRS's are great guitars!
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.
Beautiful guitar 😍 saw a lot of PRS guitars at Kees Dee in Amersfoort today when I came to get a cab
Awesome looking guitars
Kees dee! That's where I bought that pink Ibanez. Cool store!
@@SonicDriveStudio I just can't believe how many guitars they can fit in there 🤣
@@Sticky_Tea it's crazy! haha!
Best sound of our generation.
Awesome axe!
I've been rocking a PRS Custom 22 and a Mesa Triple Rectifier since 2008. Eric Weaver from 12 Stones is the reason period. Breaking Benjamin all time favorite band my band wouldn't have gotten on the radio if it wasn't for those guys. I'll be a PRS/Mesa guy until I die. Ordering a Badlander soon also saving up for a McCarty 594. Excited for the quad cortex too should get it soon.
This is one of the coolest comments, not many people I know have heard of 12 stones. Also right there with you BB is my all time favorite, wouldn’t of picked up a guitar if it weren’t for the album Dear Agony. Those riffs mesmerized me when I was younger
This sounds great. Do you have any videos on achieving a similar tone through Amplitube?
Thos bands I always def think of PRS haha. As an honorable mention, Chevelle. I always loved their tone and their interesting use of string scratching and pinch harmonics.
Niiice guitar! :)
As soon as the song started, it felt like I was playing MX vs ATV. Mission accomplished, I'd say!
she's a beauty. congratulations :)
awesome
awesome sound, dude!
one question: do you see a chance to create this sound on an HX stomp, using a LP with Fishman open cores humbuckers?
Love the guitar. Prs is just the best imo
PRS + Rectifier is great great gloryyyy sound.... Nu Metal !!
