I've been on the fence for a long time about selling all of my amps and getting either a Mark V or a Roadster.
I like the size of the V combo, same size as my DC-5 which fits most stages and rehearsal spaces very well!
Plus, it's a little larger than my IV combo, which sounds small to me, even at high volume.
I like the 2x12 of the Roadster, but it's freakishly huge.
I love Recto tones.
I love the Lonestar cleans and reverb.
I love the lead tone on my IV.
I'm still torn between the 2 amps.
I have a question for all of you guys that own one of them or have owned one of them.....
What is the dropout time like when changing channels?
I have owned both Lonestar models. I ended up selling them because I could not adjust to the lag time when channel switching. The channels switched fairly quickly, but the reverb drop out was just unacceptable to me.
I also owned one of the early Roadsters (Serial # 400 or so) and it had huge popping issues when changing channels. I did not know about the trick of cycling through the channels on the footswitch while the amp was on Standby. I'm not sure anyone knew about it at the time.
So....
I would like to own one of these amplifiers.
I am very unsure about the channel switching, noise, dropout, etc....
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
