For anyone who has owned or played both: how close are the various modes on the Triaxis (with a 2:90) to the sound of an actual Mark IV. I used to have a Triaxis/2:90 rig before my Rectoverb combo, and lately I've been missing the tones of the Triaxis & 2:90. I've grown away from the more buzzy modern tone of the Recto's red channel, and I really loved the sounds I got from my Triaxis/2:90 rig. I had a Triaxis, 2:90, G-Major, rack tuner, furman power strip, rack drawer, heavy-*** 8 space rack, a huge midi footcontroller, and two recto 2x12's with Vintage 30's. It was a great sounding rig, but I got really tired of lugging all of that stuff arround everywhere and I found a great deal on the recto. Now I've got that rectoverb s2 combo and a small pedalboard. That's it. My back loves the difference, but lately I find myself missing the flexibility and tones of the Triaxis. I'm hoping that the Mark IV will get me in the same ballpark as the Triaxis, but still be a smaller, more simple setup than the whole rack mess. I'm thinking maybe a Mark IV short or medium head and one recto 2x12 or maybe an avatar vintage 2x12 w/ vintage 30's. Let me know what you think. Ah, the quest for better tone goes on...
