I am a recent mark iv owner and also new to the board! My iv is later also. I am not dissapointed in the gain. I think the settings are everything in that department. If I were to take a guess I would say you have a tube issue/s. A lot of guys don't like R2 on the mark iv. I am not one of those...
Interesting things to be had with this amp...
is it smoother with lead gain lower than lead drive?
ex: 8 and 8 sounds good, a lot of guys seem to use that, (I have been around that setting plenty) but 6 and 10 pretty much the same amount of gain but maybe smoother..?
I might be playing tricks...
Hi,
First post, would have gotten here sooner...had trouble registering...you must use capitals for "The Boogie Board" question.
New amp day was a while back but I am still celebrating since got a mark iv head recently and I am enjoying it. It is versatile for sure...you can fall down a rabbit...
