Help please! I'm currently using a rectoverb with vertical 2x12 recto cab and looking to make the jump to a mark series amp. (mainly because of the change in preamp, built in EQ and smaller size of head.) I am totally torn between the mark V and the new 35w version. One of the major reasons I originally bought a recto is because of the 6L6 power section and the fantastic tight bottom end they produce. The mark V just seems to have way more options then I need. Not to mention it weighs a ton and the footswitch is a tank. On the other hand; the 35 is powered by 4x el84's and from what I have gathered will not give me that sweet low end I crave. Will the EQ combined with my closed back V30's really make up for the lack of 6L6 low end??
I play mostly hard rock/alternative stuff in a medium sized rehearsal room and occasionally bars/small club venues.
I really hope they decide to make a scaled down version of the mark v with 6L6's in the future regardless of what I decide to get now.
