I was facing the same issues . . . my IV is really dark also . . . tried different speakers, pre amp tubes and so forth . . . the only thing that really worked was using EL34s . . . from now on my IV will only see EL34s in the outer sockets. :mrgreen:

This issue is completely solved with a EV loaded thiele (at least in my situation 8) )

Very old thread, but NOS issue 8) Im having troubles with my mk IV FS . . . after a gig saturday, put it in the bag, went home and voilá . . .stopped working :cry: the leds doesnt lit, the more "mechanical" switching, EQ and loop functions, still work, but the channel switching does not . ...

IMO you should not overlook a 1x12 thiele cab . . . they have great bass response, tight (exactly what you want), good portability and sounds wonderfull, THE perfect match for any Mark series amp. and you will not have problems find one used in a great condition for usd 300-ish. If you found...

why spent 1500usd on a RA if you can get a very good stiletto for 800usd?? im not a Marshall guy by any means, but i love the sound im getting on the stiletto. no only the wonderfull tones you can get on crunch mode 1, but surprisingly, the clean tones are also wonderfull, since you get it on...

Já mandou seu ampli pro Pedrone?? ele é meio que autorizado pela Mesa a fazer alguns reparos. todos os meus amplis só ele que mexe. ele com certeza vai resolver o teu problema. senão manda uma mp para o andy (monsta-tone) falando do problema e ele pode lhe tentar passar a solução e vc...

IMO you should take a loot at the Stiletto series as well. i understand your arm issue, so maybe an ACE combo will fit your bill (1x12 combo version). it does the AC/DC tones in spades and more!! you can get those used in a very good condition for 700-900usd

+1000 I simply can not use the fx loop on my stiletto. the tone sucking is soooo bad that soon i turn it on the wonderfull tone goes away . . .

you'll probably dig those also: 8) http://www.gatopretoclassics.com/

DT Rules . . . :mrgreen: :mrgreen: those Pontiacs are also welcome in my garage . . . :wink: on a side note, that film here in Brazil was called "Catch me if you can". but i never saw a Smokey and the Bandit amp . . . :?

After all that reading it got me wondering . . . do i have to think that a 84' IIC+, a 74' Plexi or even more, a 59' Les Paul is obsolete ???? . . . Man, I would love to have an obsolete 1960 Porsche Abarth 356B Carrera GTL in my garage . . .

Thanks a lot Guys!!!! 8) 8) For example, the way that the IIC effects loop was implemented is definitely crappy when used with the lead channel. It comes in a very weird spot in the circuit signal path. In my opinion, it really messes up how the gain stages are cascaded in the lead channel...

Thanks AC! I think ive made up my mind already . . . :mrgreen:

Yeah, im leaning towards the IIC and then do the + mod . . . although the guy said that the IIC+ original "core" tone is really better than the IIc version . . . and the loop is way clearer.
