Eric at Guitar Czar in Salt Lake City has one that came in today. I asked him to call me when it came in in case I didn't have one yet. It is in. Someone snatch it up quick: http://www.guitarczar.com/

I had the AXE-Fx Standard for about 8 months and had to let it go. I could never get it to sound right as an "all in one" amp sim without using it as part of an effects chain into a real amp - kind of defeating the purpose. Plus the tweaking... the ENDLESS tweaking. I've just got more to do than...

I am going to keep this amp and take all of the advice posted here. As I sort out the midi issue and solution - I will post a video showing how I finally figured it out and set it all up with my rig. The amp is just too good to let go. It's just... bad ***... 8) I appreciate everyones advice...

I think that AMP GIZMO is a good possible solution. I am glad everybody likes the vids so far.

I've just been playing for an hour - it is now after midnight - you could talk over the volume level - and all 3 channels - no **** - sound amazing. The 10 watt mode is just nutz. This is a very versatile amp. I think I need to do another demo... :wink:

Stock - 490R & 498T I think. Whatever Gibson puts in the studio's. This guitar sounds better than my Black Beauty Custom. It is much warmer. And lighter.

The heavy sounds are there - I am sure the next fifteen people to demo this amp will do nothing but shred their little petrucci wanking nuts off - so fear not children of the metal - other people - much more qualified to give you that "stock" mark IV tone will get to it. It is in the amp - I am...

I, um, asked when I checked it out at the Boogie Store and the guy said yes. Perhaps he didn't know what I meant? It does after all "look" like a 7 pin midi switch when looking at it. It's all good. There's lots of amps out there these days. Probably going back tomorrow. Enjoy your workarounds. 8)

Axxess FX CFX4 is $159 + $50 for the Mark V cable - which doesn't exist as of this writing. Plus then you have 4 cables to plug into the amp - and then you program it. Then you program your midi controller - then you cross your fingers... I don't know about you - but I have way too much to...

For what it is worth - I'm no shred-master - and I prefer The Police over Petrucci - but here ya go. 3 Vids for 3 of my Guitars: #1 LES PAUL - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziHbHfcr8wg #2 TELECASTER - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cw0sPkAaWB4 #3 STRATOCASTER -...

The Mark V Clean is the best clean I've played in a long time. 3 modes - all a bit different but all very musical. It is the easiest channel of the 3 to dial in. I am posting my demo vid in a bit.

That is like what... another $1500? Plus you need the Wah/CC controllers - plus the extra rack space - plus the cabling bullshit and then programming all of this... Look - Boogie got the amp right and the lack of midi WRONG! all that crap could be eliminated with a simple midi channel...

PIcked up a combo yesterday and I am sad to say that there is no midi switching on this amp. This is a major bummer for me as I need to run a single midi pedal setup that can switch channels as well as do midi changes for effects. Major drag. :(

thanks.

Are there any obvious things I should look for? Any tips in checking out a used Mark IV would be appreciated. I would expect to replace tubes and such, but other than that...

That sound is a classic rock staple: maple neck Stratocaser with single coils in pickup position 2 (out of phase) running into a Tube Screamer du jour (take your pick - there are many good ones on the market) into a cranked tube amp on the verge of distortion. Try channel 1.

Went to Hollywood Mesa store and played the Mark V combo. Instantly knew that I had to have it. Sound was great from Funk to Thunk on the tele and the LP style guitars I played it with. I need an amp that is compact - versatile - easy to dial in and can go from Nile Rodgers style cleans to...
