So it's my yearly "I want to trade my recto for a mark" train of thought and I finally have the means to do so.
What I really want to hear is from people who have owned both or who own both now and can give me some info other than the obvious 'cleans are better, lead is better,' 'tighter focus' type replies. I've played them both and I really like the focus on the Mark IV but I want to make sure I'm not going to be missing anything that they cannot do besides the chugga chug recto sound. I want to know how the simul-class works in practice.
I've gone to lengths to make my DR more tight and more lead focused but in the end I always wonder if I should get a Mark instead.
What would REALLY be sweet is if someone who has both could record the same riff through each one but I know that's pretty unlikely.
So should I sell the DR for a MkIV head? Any comments are welcome!
