So...
I've been back and forth with my DC-5. I really love it, but I want it to be more aggressive and Recto like.
In the last few months, I have traded a bunch of gear and through my hands passed a Dual Rec (early Rev. G), Rectoverb, and Mark IV.
Last night I a/b-ed my DC-5 combo with my Rectoverb combo.
The Recto has so much more aggression and distortion, plus the BASS is phenomenal!
That is all it has going for it.
The DC has a way better clean channel and reverb.
The EQ adds a lot of versatility, as does the separate preamp tubes for each channel!
I just wish it had more girth in the lead channel.
FWIW: I have the Master Volume Mod on a push/pull pot. Last night, when I pulled the knob (adding the parallel resistor back in), the amp really came alive!
I'll probably keep it pulled and only push it in for bedroom jamming late at night.
Anyway......
Anybody have some great Metal settings for the lead channel??????
