hope this helps.

I concur. Re-amping can really be your friend in a situation like this. By spliting your signal, say with a Lehle, Morley, Palmer (etc) ABY box (to answer your other question - there are quite a number of companies who offer such a device which offer a buffered signal and don't suck your tone) as stealthbalance has suggested, you can do the first take getting your basic Recto tone, and then with re-amped takes add (or subtract) pedals, a bit of clean sparkle, greater bass, heft, saturation, or whatever you fancy. My opinion is that great (heavy) tone comes from a mix of different tones blended together, as trying to get everything from one amp in one take usually means that you end up pushing the amp too far.
Also, a Royer certainly wouldn't hurt and you gain another versatile mic to boot.
Good luck,
