Really? Because I've heard many many many songs using Rectifiers that had a great sounding guitar tone. I think too many people are jumping on the negative hype bandwagon when it comes to these amps, like it's the "cool" thing to say or something. Sure they take time to dial them in but once you do they can sound really great, and nothing like a solid state overdrive. That being said I personally prefer Bogners but there are times where I've liked Rectifiers better for the situation.
