I have a few higher-gain recordings I made with my Hellraiser 6 (mahogany body + EMG 81) through my Mark IV: Holy Diver Judas Kiss I think they do just fine, though I personally prefer Dimarzios.

The solution is obvious: you're supposed to buy two of them. ;)

Are they good for metal? :D

They're detailed on Mesa's product page. I've never heard of them referred to as a "Mark" cabinet (though they fit the Mark's width much better than the Recto's).

I used to have one of these, and very stupidly sold it a few years ago. Now I'm needing a cab that's easier to transport than my 4x12 or horizontal 2x12 (but is taller than the 1x12), and the vertical Recto fits under a Mark-sized amp + rack perfectly. I'm hoping to find a local seller (in or...

Looks like fun! Lots of room to work with anyway. Is that a gymnasium? I wish we would have taped some of our demo recording; it's always fun to go back and watch stuff like that.

Our cover band CORE just finished up four of our demo songs. I played through my Mark IV, and our other guitarist (hoobafrank here on the Boogie Board) played through his Dual Rectifier. It's a pretty diverse set of songs, and it's cool that the Boogies are versatile enough to cover that much...

I usually can get pretty close to the SFAM tone with my Mark IV; however, I'm using Dimarzio-equipped basswood guitars. The Gibson pickups have a very different voicing.

Thanks! It's been months, so I don't have the exact settings, but they would have been similar to the following: Lead Gain - 7.5 (pulled) Lead Treble - 6 Lead Bass - 0 Lead Mid - 2 Lead Drive - 8 Presence - 4 Master - 2 EQ (from -10 to +10, 0 is middle line): +3, -2, -5, -2, -1 Mid-shift...

Very, very good. I'm in awe of how cleanly you played that, and the tone was great.

What, no Skolnick solo? ;) Just kidding, and well done. My favorite Testament song performed on my favorite amp! :) I've been looking to do this song for ages, but haven't been able to find a guitarpro file to nab the drums to make a backing track from. I could make my own drum track, but that...

Thanks, NJVenom! I agree, the tone is a bit soft. I had the gain dialed down lower, and I tend to underemphasize presence when I record (usually too much). Always something more to tweak (which I love doing, luckily)! Thanks, jdurso! That's the major hurdle I've always had with mic'ing... I...

I liked the tone, though it definitely sounded more Petrucci than Satch (probably due to the guitar); Satch's tone seems a bit rounder—and less tube-like, to be honest... I actually preferred your tone. :) Good job on all the string bending... you have great bend + vibrato technique!

Hm, I've never seen that error before (though I've been using Cubase more than PT lately). You might try inquiring on the DUC Forum.

Ha! I just saw that the other day when I stopped in to pick up a rack case for my new Axe-Fx. I saw that standing near the entrance to the pro audio section and did a double-take... "WTF is that??" I then did a triple-take at the price tag. I love how the web page for it says "Only $4,999.99."...
