Vintage high gain mode similar to Mark IIC+ lead?

[nosajwp]

I've heard it said several times that the vintage high gain mode on a Recto or Roadster can sound fairly similar to a Mark IIC+ lead tone...anyone here share this opinion?

...not even close.

Nope. Get a Mark V or a Royal Atlantic if you want that sound without getting the real thing.

Playing them side by side with the same guitar and cab, they're not close.
