7.) The PRESENCE control determines a lot about the voicing of gain sounds. Set lower it will fatten and compress single note
sounds and lend a liquid feeling to the strings in the 3 modes of Channels 3 & 4. Set higher it will add cut and brightness to the
sound and can be useful in keeping Bass response tight, especially at high GAIN settings when searching for crunch rhythm
sounds.
8.) Although Channels 3 & 4 contain duplicate modes, the PRESENCE controls are different and therefor settings and
sounds will not dial up exactly the same. CHANNEL 3 has been optimized for the RAW and VINTAGE modes with a PRES-
ENCE control that peaks just above “very bright” and at the low end of the control gets truly round and squashed. This response
showcases the more warm and fury nature of these two modes. CHANNEL 4 houses a much more powerful PRESENCE
control that has been optimized for the MODERN mode and will go to realms of top end that are frankly ridiculous.
However, up to the 2:00 region its more unbridled response makes the Recto MODERN mode a force to reckon with. Think of
the difference like this; the entire range of CHANNEL 3’s PRESENCE control can be found below 10:00 on Channel 4’s
PRESENCE control. It plays out like this; using MODERN IN Channel 3 will require a PRESENCE setting at the top of the range
and conversely, using RAW and VINTAGE in CHANNEL 4 may require a very low PRESENCE setting.
9.) When switching Channels with Reverb applied or switching the Reverb itself in and out of the signal path with the Footcontroller,
it is normal to experience approximately 1-2 seconds of delay before the Reverb effect is mixed back in with the dry signal. See
NOTE: under REVERB in the Rear Panel section of this manual for more info.
Now that we have shared a few hints to make things easier, let’s take a look at the controls and modes.
