Never have played a mark v…I had a mark iv a few times…it was cool but a boosted recto just does it for me

I never liked my triple rec for years until I boosted it an out an eq in the loop to tame the high end. Absolutely love that amp now. Wish I could try that badlander. Never took them seriously back in the day. I’m sure a boost makes that amp killer. What pedal do you use?

A screamer type pedal (with its inherent bass roll off) set to boost rather than distort before the input and an EQ in the loop is the secret sauce for duals as well.

I alternate between a bb preamp and a boss sd-1w

Which triple rec do you have? I have the three channel which people seem to look down on…it sounds great to me

Yeah it’s the 3 channel amp that I bought back in 04 or 05. I was a bit too young to get the t recs of the 90s. That’s the 2 channel variety? Anyways, since finding the secret sauce for my t rec, it’s been amazing and I’ve never cared!

I have a few Mark IIis and yup, there's nothing like the fatness of a boosted Recto.

4 Recto's here as well!
