What's this about the Mark V not having enough power? :shock: :lol:

90 vs 100 watts in terms of DB is pretty much nonexistent. 50watts will be like 3db lower than 100 and you need to go down to 10 watts to drop 10db.

FWIW, the Mark V and Dual Recto are both fantastic amps. The Mark V is a fantastic amp in terms of feel, tightness, and the lead / solo tone is unreal. The amp is brighter with more mids and it cuts better. It's a great lead player's amp. The Recto, by contrast, is a great rhythm amp. Sure, it's not the tightest, but with a boost it can get plenty aggressive. The wider, growling, scooped tone really sits well in the mix for riffing and chording.

I'm currently jamming with some guys and I'm playing lead on a Dual Rec with the rhythm guitarist playing a mark V. My mids are dimed and he still cuts more but it works. It sounds huge anyhow...

and Given To Fly, great post, helped a lot in my final decision but...

One question tho, what the heck is this Roadster switching lag/latency and loud pops thing? I mean, I do know what is it, but, is this issue addressed? could be a deal breaker for me (specially that latency thing cause the pops I already know how to "fix it", pressing through every channel before turning stand-by off)

It would be bad news for me cause I play yestarday through a Triple Rec and love it, even at low volumes.

I have never experienced lag/latency when switching channels and the loud pop when switching to Channel 3 still happens, though the "fix it", does work. I would not consider it a deal breaker especially since its not an isolated case. If my Roadster were the only one that made the popping sound then I might worry, but this happens to most Roadsters and I don't think any damage has been done. Besides, Channel 3 is the best channel!
