Dual Rectifier +SM7B

Description

Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier – High-Gain NAM Capture Red Channel (Modern Mode) + BOSS SD-1 boost Tight low-end, bold mids, and sizzling highs—ideal for modern metal and aggressive high-gain tones. Mic’d with a Shure SM7B (on-axis, cap-edge). While typically used on vocals, the SM7B also excels on guitar amps. Compared to the SM57, it captures a slightly wider image with smoother mids, making it easier to position and less prone to phase issues in single-mic setups. ※ Corrected to reflect accurate level values. ⸻ Capture Chain ・Re-amp interface: IK Multimedia TONEX Capture — LEVEL knob at 12 o’clock (≈ –12 dB pad) ・Send Level: –9 dBu RMS at amp input (DAW output set to –10 dBFS RMS ≈ +3 dBu RMS) ・Return Level: trimmed so DAW input reads –10 dBFS RMS (≈ +3 dBu RMS) ・Signal Path: SM7B → Chandler TG2 → Rupert Neve 551 (light EQ during recording) → WesAudio NG76 (minimal compression; subtle harmonic enhancement) ⸻ Neural Amp Modeler plugin setup for accurate playback ・Input Level: –9 dBu ・Calibrate Input: ON ・Calibrate Output: OFF (RAW) ⸻ Quick Gear Recap Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier • BOSS SD-1 • Marshall 2536 (2×12 Celestion V30)
