Marks DO NOT NEED a Tubescreamer. Rectifiers definitely need a boost, but not a Mark. A boost just tricks you into thinking you have sharper pick attack (its a lie) when in fact it's just adding noise to your signal. It also dampens the growl, makes the amp less raw. Petrucci doesn't always use...

How would an ABY switch turn his effects on/off when channel switching?

Yes this is possible without having to buy an external switcher. Just set the loop assign knob on the back to Channel 2 or 3. That means the loop is only active on that channel. If you switch to channel 1 (clean) your FX are essentially switched off because the loop is bypassed. Edit: I just...

Channel 2 will sorta do it with a clean boost and maybe a frownie face'd EQ pedal up front.

My GE-7 is really noisy.

No offense but I've never understood why someone would ask about Kirk Hammet's tone. He plays zero of the rhythm tracks that Metallica is known for... he only plays the leads. His lead tone is easy peazy. Lots of gain and reverb and wah.

You guys were getting Recto gain out of your DC's?!?!? My DC-2 sounded more Markish. Like a Mark IV with a bad cold. Is the DC-2 the black sheep of the series?

How easy was it to swap the combo into a head?

The DC-2 sounded like crap and wouldn't cut through a mix. There, right at 10 words.

I have a Voodoo Pedal Power 2 Plus. Would this cause extra noise if I plug it into the amp?

$650? Damn - I payed $1,200 for this Mark IV.

On the back of the head there's a 3 prong electrical outlet. What's it there for? Can I plug my pedal power supply into it? Cain I plug another head into it?

I called and left a message with customer service this morning and never received a call back. So I called Mesa Hollywood and was quoted a price over the phone. Does it matter which place I order it from? Direct vs Mesa Hollywood?

Did she write that song? It's so different sounding that mainstream pop.

I have both. I think the V sounds better at low volumes but the V needs to be in 90 watts to match the raw aggression of th IV. The ceans and crunch are way way better on the V. Playing them both in stereo sounds better than either amp alone, way better.

Interesting. Once I hear back from Mesa with a Yes or No I'll know how to proceed.

I was bad. Really bad. I was supposed to be out Christmas shopping for my wife over the weekend. Traffic was utterly horrendous so I decided to stop by the local Fender shop to see if they had anything cool before I made my way to the mall. So I walk in and make my way to the amp room and there...

Interesting. I don't normally listen to pop music but that song has caught my hear on the radio lately. It's a very interesting/cleverly written song.

It's being split with a TC Flashback pedal that has stereo outs into the front of each amp. I have a ground lift on one of the amps to eliminate hum. Would using both amps FX loops into the G Major result in stereo effects? Would it be dual mono?

Let's say I have 2 standalone combo amps, Mark IV and V, each with a series FX loop. The G Major 2 has a Left send/return and a Right send/return. Can I run amp IV to the left side of the G Major and amp V to the right side and get a stereo setup? I know people run stereo with stereo poweramps...
