Members facefirst Posted August 5, 2007 Members Share Posted August 5, 2007 Get the Mark IV. I got rid of my Single Recto and couldn't be happier. Some days it sounded awesome, other day sit sounded so-so. The Mark IV ALWAYS sounds awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members noseminer Posted August 5, 2007 Members Share Posted August 5, 2007 Mark IV more brutal than a recto? Lulz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Random Hero Posted August 6, 2007 Members Share Posted August 6, 2007 Mark IV more brutal than a recto? Lulz I suppose that depends on your definition of brutal. Crushing or tight? I'm not saying either is more brutal, but I prefer the tone of the Marks. I love Rectos, especially early ones, but I prefer Mark tones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ericwylde Posted August 6, 2007 Members Share Posted August 6, 2007 thanks for the videos, mark sound less fizzy even in those videos... yeah, and it sounds a little tighter and rawer too he likes the cleans on the mark better, but i loved my ex-single rec's clean channel i just couldn't stand the distortion now i feel anxious everytime i hear a recto need therapy listen to this band: www.cobalto1.com they recorded with a dual rectifier and a triaxis into a jcm 800 2204 clone the main sound is pure and raw recto tone i love the songs, but i hate this rectifier sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jlb32 Posted August 6, 2007 Members Share Posted August 6, 2007 thanks for the videos, mark sound less fizzy even in those videos... No doubt the Rectifiers are more fizzy sounding and less tight than the Marks. Both are pretty awesome though. I do prefer the Marks but the Rectifiers do have their place depending on what tone you are after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
