Same here. I get excellent Marshally tones for channel 2. No reason to change it.

I don't typically use fuzz pedals into my Mark IV, but I can verify the clean channel has good headroom.

I don't have a Mark III (I have a Mark IV). But, like you, I don't always use the EQ section. And, like you do with the Mark III, I set the bass low (around 2 or 3), mids pretty high (8 or 9), and treble rather low (5 or 6). I make up for the treble with the presence control. Depending on circumsta...

The shade says "Bubinga" to me. But, the grain says "Tiger Maple".

Could it be Tiger Maple that has been given a very deep stain?

Is the Express Mark Series? The Nomad 100 had an EQ too. Sorry if it's a silly question, I genuinely don't know Both of them have some Mark blood in them, but they are not direct descendants. The Express clean is in the Lone Star family. The Nomad is from the "F" series bloodline. If I had to make ...

I'm really not looking forward to dropping another $2500 on a new Hetfield amp :cry: dmcguitar had a comment in another thread that made me think; maybe it's not a Hetfield amp but the next Mark amp, the Mark VI. Or anything really, I'm sure that's not Hetfield's first prototype he's got the chance...

Never mind. Just found it on 7-String.org:

Where did you see a demo? I did a quick Google search and could not find one.

I've never heard of it, and it's not listed on their web-site.

The description does have that Mesa "vibe" to it, though.

A couple of thoughts: (1) Are you sure you are getting full voltage from the outlet you are using? (2) Have you tried it through other outlets in the house? (3) if the voltage is not up to snuff, do you have a power conditioner? (4) Do you get the same behavior in both tweed mode and full-power mode...

I did not used it much these times, but things are changing as my band enters into an Afro-Cuban set for this year : My Boogie MKIIA dressed in Tolex suit with most of my guitars : http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/891323P1000276.jpg My Boogie MKIIA dressed in Hardwood suit with my Gibson ES335-TD ...

Nice. I am constantly amazed at the versatility of the Mark IV.

I had one years ago (when they first came out) and used it to drive my Marshall. Once I got it dialed in correctly, it wasn't bad. Brought in some new flavors. It wasn't bad on its own. I used it that way a few times. "One trick pony" is a decent way to describe it. It was a good quality amp, but no...

Nice article. Nice, homey style. Thanks for sharing.
