REISSUE Rumor: Mark IIC+ and 2ch Recto

[rarebitusa]

Now mind you, they are all different and not better or worse than one another. Just different. So, what are your preferences on IIC+'s? Simul-class? 60/100? 60 watt, no GEQ?

Fodder indeed... FWIW having an HR for over 40 years you kinda have a chance to develop an opinion. Is it informed??? Dunno but I'll mudsling for the sake of fodder.

There are of course those folks who have had multiple IIC+s and have chronicled the comparisons. Very cool. I have only had one chance to do brief comparison with an SRG Combo. There certainly was a difference with the integrated GEQ and how it responded vs running on in the loop. Overall the SRG sounded like it had a bit less mid-range honk and lower end. Could have been the combo cab playing into it. Either way I liked the SRG mostly because it was different.

But IMHO it's all about the genre one gravitites towards. If one is into the heavy gain and more metal focused tones the differences in these amps probably plays into it more. It seems the balance of public comparisons and feature discussions are targeted towards the heavier tones. Putting the real heavy tones aside I think the IIC+ in any form, a III or a RI will float ones boat cause it's more about the shared tone stack and the ability to tweak settings in a unique way that sets these amps apart. I also think the unsung hero on these amps is Ch 1, it has an amazing organic response to pedals especially compression and boosting, extremely dynamic with pickup volume. I hope that the RI responds in the same way.
