Ok so its a rebuilding year and i want to start a rack rig with a triaxis but i am very used to the dual rectifier heads early 2000's mostly. So since I am the lowend of the guitar player trio in my band should i stay with the rec or move to something knew?
 
What kind of tone you're after/prefer? Do you need versatility? Are a plug'n'play guy or a tweaktweaktwek 'till I get the sound of my head out guy?

Embrace the change :D

If you're asking (to us and to yourself) if worth moving to something else to means you're not 100% satisfied with you current rig/tone, right? Or maybe it's just our natural need of buy stuff :)
 
hahhaha i don't really know for sure but i need a ballsy more direct sound and i think the triaxis is perfect for that

When you say "ballsy more direct" you mean tighter? Something like tight low end, warm hights and musical mids? If you're saying "YES! YES! YES!" with a hungry smile on your face then you may be looking for the Mark tone and the Triaxis's just the Aladdin's Lamp of the Mark series. The Triaxis also has a cool Recto sound depending by the version, mine has a clear, crisp, raw and crunchy Recto tone that sounds nothing like the actual Rectifier heads, others says their sound really like a Dual Rectifier... muddy, frizzy, thin and woofy but if you like that tone you may stick with the Dual. If you're lokking for a mid gain "furry", creamy tone then the LD1 green and yellow on the Tri may suit your needs. Other than the preamp you've also the poweramp choose to help shape your tone.
 
Well i did also get a 2/90 to acompany it i played a new mark 5 and a triaxis the other day and i feel like the mark 5 is softer and like a wussier version then the triaxis with tthe 2/90
 
At a first sight the Mark V may look like a non progammable compact version of the Triaxis/2:90 but in the moment you play both you see it's far from it. 1st the Mark V don't have a drive control (what was Gain 2 on all the Mark amps and on the Triaxis) and feels less crunchy. I don't know if you played the combo or the head. I think it's an awesome amp, very versatile but far from the tone shaping capabilities of the Triaxis and on the "side" of the Mark family tone. Just to be clear: I would love to buy a MK V combo for practice and small venues and to avoid to carry around fliht cases and cabs all the times, I think it really has a beautiful clean and Mesa-level dirties but not as substitute of my triaxis based rig.
