Which have more gain: Rectifier preamp or Tri-axis?
It seems that I need to use my tubesreamer in front of Rec pre in order to get nice lead-sound. Is there more gain in Tri-axis or do you have to use boost to play solos? I can't get enough sustain with Rec Pre alone. Does John Petrucci use boost in front of MarkIV? He has amazing lead-sound, looking for something similar out of my Rectifier preamp. Can you get MarkIV tones out of Tri-axis? I know what manual says, but is it so? Or do I need to change over to Mark head camp?
