True, confirming the RI is full pentode makes me personally MORE interested as I don't care for Triode. I wish they would have done a switch though as triode is probably more popular.

Filtration should be the biggest thing when it...
Power supply and filtration:
Here is where I see the biggest difference and frankly - hear the biggest difference from all the demos and vids so far. The filter caps and the overall tightness and graininess of the amp.
◾️ There are two 220uF/350V main filter caps in series that equals to...
Components:
Here I will go a bit more technical. Almost all components seem good quality. Exceptions being some switches and small things like that - more on than some other time. Most notable ones to me:
◾️ Cornell Dubilier (CDE) Orange Drop 715P caps - good to see that they started putting...
Over on Facebook on the IIC+ page, a member named Dann Valentino did an IN-DEPTH technical breakdown of the IIC+ reissue. He's not a member here (yet), but with his permission I wanted to post what he had to say over here as there's some good info. Here you go!! There's also quite a few good...
From "THE GUY IN THE AUDIENCE" perspective, Fractal by a mile. While I will always be a tube amp whore, I have heard Fractals in touring band setups that sounded pretty decent. I have never heard a band on stage with a Kemper that the guitar sounded good. IMO.
I will say my early Tverb had my favorite cleans of any amp I've ever played.
Talking in general about Marks, there really are significant differences over the lineage. If people are saying that close mic recording is the real tone and best way to compare, then looking at the entire history...
Reminds me of the two different times (long ago) I took a HRG IIC++ to jam with a new band, and the other guitarist's Crate / Line 6 mopped the floor with my amp in terms of cut & aggression. Bros cut me deep.
Yeah I have a few Rectos I regret selling as well. ..and one I regret modding. Oh well, cost of experience. At least a couple of them I know are in great hands.
I hear you on the Badlander. Killer rock amp, but not a Recto. Though to be fair it did cut the live mix better than a Recto.
So...
