The Mark IV thread....!!

no thats cool dude... i know of plp using he lead channel as a rhy ..which sounds very very brutal... i use JJ 6l6's at 30 or 70 in an orange cab and it sounds very evry nice..i use channel 2...

Yeah, I like the Lead as a Rhythm channel then just stomp some clean boost to get out front.

how does the mk iv compare to the bogners?

The MkIV hangs with the Bogners. I can't say I prefer one over the other. They all sound great.

However, I run the MkIV through a 1x12 Theile with an Eminence Delta Pro 12A. It is similar in sound to the EVM 12L, but slightly less bright. I use a slight treble boost on the MkIV to manage the flub. Ironically, the treble boost let's me get a fatter sound out of the MkIV. I run the Bogners through a Rectifier 4x12.

I do not like the MkIV thru the V30's; and, conversely, I do not like the Bogners through the Theile.

The cab makes a big difference as does the treble boost.

I like the MkIV enough that I have two. One with all 6L6 tubes and one with EL34 in the outer sockets.

I run both MkIV's in class A pentode.

i love mk iv's in orange's 4x12 ( v30's ) or the EVM 200 1x12..thats wat i think sounds right for me..

New MKIV user here. Just got it at the begining of the month. I have been experiementing with my POD XTLive in the loop for effects only. It's been great. I usually set up a patch/patches for a particular song and can play the rhythm dry and then switch to the effects loop for the solo. The POD has an eq pedal/boost and that gives me a nice solo volume boost also when needed. With this rig I can cover alot of bases.

Here's a pic of the rig.

Nice rig..

Who made the extension?

Great bang for buck cabs. They sound awesom. I've got a Vintage 30 paired with a G12h30 and it sounds great. I can also use the rectoverb speaker and have a 3/4 half stack config.

Nice rig, but there is more flame in that guitar neck than a 4 alarm fire.
What is it?

Everytime I post this pic people want to know what that guitar is. :lol:

It does have a great flame neck. Would you believe me if I told you I paid $250.00 for it. :shock:

bump for the Mark IV clan!

we should get this sticky....the mk iv is the one of the most talked about...maybe that wouldn't be a bad idea..

What do you guys think? I should be getting it this week.

Sweet...are those 6V6's?

Yup! The guy said as soon as he bought it, he put them in, so I'll be getting the original 6L6s with almost no play time on them as well. I don't think he had the amp set up correctly for them though.

I'm thinking about replacing the grill with a tan or wicker grill.

Is there a one-stop-shop for settings around here?

Thanks! My Mark IV should be here in about a week. It's a '95 but virtually unplayed. Can't wait to hear the EV!.

I assume you would have to play pretty **** loud to break in this speaker. Does it sound much different than when new?

:twisted:
