Hey everyone, I just received my DP-24 today, and when I went to plug in my guitar and start recording, I could not get any sound out of it. Now I've already looked through threads about this issue, but nothing has seemed to help. I updated the firmware to the latest version (1.01 0008 or...

Quick question... Do the MKI and MKII share the same heads? I'm thinking of buying a cheap broken 488 to salvage its heads because I need to replace the heads on my MKII.
