babow2 said:While those of us who identify with the "California sound" of the original Mark series may think the company has lost its way, it really hasn't. The company has been an innovator and sound 'generator." The created the two channel switchable amp, and created the saturated singing solo tone of the Mark that defined a sound and an era. Whether you like the Recto sound or series, it also has been iconic and defined a sound of an era. All the little "doodads" like interchannel modes, dynawatt, assignable power amp sections and on and on all reflect the company's commitment to change and innovation. While any of us may not like a particular direction or tone or flavor, the company has always continued to innovate and expand the sonic palette.
So, I dispute that the company has lost its way. It continues to innovate, test new boundaries and create new sonic palettes. They may not all resonate with the buying public, or we may not like a particular vibe, but the company was founded on innovation and creativity and pushing the boundaries ( of a tiny underpowered Fender combo to start), and has never stopped doing that. I have to give them credit for that.

I have to disagree with it.
R2 channel is a very usable and beautiful sounding channel, and if somebody doesn't think so, it's just not the amp's fault.
