I have listed my beloved Mark V head on ebay today. Feel fee to take a look. It pains me to get rid of it, but my reasons why are detailed in the auction listing. http://www.ebay.com/itm/200951450312?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649 Bobby

Yeah - I have this problem down to where it is 100% reproducible now. I emailed my sales guy to see about getting an RMA number and return instructions because I'm not paying $1800 for an amp that operates this way. I LOVE the sound of this amp, but aside from the pop being annoying, it's so...

Hey guys - thanks for the replies. To be honest, there is NO way that what I am hearing is normal. The pop is literally loud enough where if I did it repeatedly, I'm sure it would destroy my speakers. It is clearly louder than the amp even at "4" on the master volume (which is LOUD!!!). I did...

So I just got a brand new dual recto head, and after a few minutes of playing on channel 3, I completely fell in love. I was noodling around, and then I hit the footswitch switch to go to channel 2, and POP! The loudest channel switching pop I've ever heard. I switched back to Channel 3 - no...

Yeah - mine wasn't so much a lack of low end, but more a lack of gain/distortion. I do play some pretty heavy metal, so maybe I'm expecting too much, but it's a recto - cmon? I own a Peavey JSX and the gain knob at 9 o'clock is enough for most of my playing. At best, the recto pre sounded like...

I had the EXACT same problem with mine. To be honest, I didn't do that much troubleshooting to see what the problem was (because I had just spent almost $1500 and waited 8 months to get it). When I plugged it in, and wasn't blown away immediately, I boxed it up and got my money back. Same...

For me, I finally accepted the fact that the best way to record metal tones direct to hard disk is with my PodXTPro. Since it's not a tube pre, I was always trying to find a "better" option. However, when it boils down to it, I don't think there is anything better out there for recording direct...

I had a recto pre for a few weeks, and I wound up returning it. It sounded so terrible as a direct recording device that I just couldn't keep it. Into an amp, it was insane - utterly gorgeous. But recorded direct (through it's own emulated outs, as well as through the high-end Palmer cab sim) it...

I didn't try to the recording outs into my emulator (only the live outs, with all of the switches and knobs in pretty much every combination of positions possible), but now it's too late since I took the unit back last night. (I didn't feel like messing around as the place I bought from only had...

I just packed the unit up again to return it so I don't have the exact settings, but the settings that I was using were the last 2 in the manual (sorry I don't have that handy either). It was a pretty simple setup as I recall - eq was close to 12 across the board, modern mode, and gain at about...

123 - I tried the Recto pre into my Palmer cab emulator and the results were the same - flubby, no gain, etc. Really sounded awful. But I ran the live outs into the palmer. Are you suggesting to run the recording outs into the Palmer? I figured that would be redundant - to run the emulated...

I just picked up a recto recording preamp primarily for direct recording into my DAW. I plugged in, connected to the recording outputs to my audio interface, did some tweaking, and went to town. The sounds that I was able to get were terrible. I am primarily a metal player (some would say REALLY...
