Has the "Triple Rectifier" rock sound become cliche?

I am producing an album and wondering if this "sound" has become dated and passe. Think of the guitar sound of Limp Bizkit or Korn - it is deep, has lots of highs and lows and no mids, and almost sounds like a bass and electric guitar had some sort of hell spawn. This sound is best identified by the hyper-saturated Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier. Is this still the sound of today or is the sound of the Marshall stack coming back?

I don't think think it has become cliche. From the looks of things here, it appears most people don't know what the triple rectifier sound is. I'm a music enthusiast. I used to be into rock more than I am today. I listened to the bands you mentioned and I think that style can still be done today without feeling dated.

If you are producing the album, I would go with your instinct. If you know the genre well and you think it is cliche, go with something different. If you want to produce something popular that people are familiar with, then go ahead and use this technique.
