Most of the fizz is on the red channel's modern voicing. Channel 2 in Vintage is fantastic, especially for leads, and I'm presently pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to coax that same sonic character out of channel 3 on my Mark V.
I've got an old clip of my Recto Reborn's Channel 2 Vintage lead sound on this interpretive dance I did for the solo from Pink Floyd's "Mother" https://soundcloud.com/dlpasco/dual-rectifier-channel-2?in=dlpasco/sets/mother-guitar-solo
There are 16 other variations - different amps and modes in that play list. Unfortunately I recorded it before I'd heard of the concept of "re-amping", so it's a list of 17 different takes of the solo.
At the moment, the closest I can get to this sound on my Mark V is using extreme mode.
I'm also pretty certain that this MUCH better performance by Devin Townsend is on Channel 2 Vintage, too: https://youtu.be/7Nu1U0nhEIU
Fixxxer said:The new reborn is killer, and I really enjoy it. I enjoy as much as my coveted TOV, which still gets a lot of love. The new dual just sounds a little better in some regards with the cleaner / better effects loop.
Another animal is the roadster. Which again sounds different to my ears.
I have all 3 at the moment, and feel they are different enough in channels 3 and 4 to justify keeping them.
it sounds weird have 3 variations of the same amp, but speaks to how Mesa continues to evolve.

I rarely go into Modern bit it has its uses. I think Vintage in all its forms is hands down the best distortion I have ever played through for everything from Lead rock to lead Metal. It is hands down most dynamic and vocal tone ever. Why everyone says Marks rule for liquid lead tone I'll never understand, It seams flat and one dimensional.
