I just picked up a 5:25 from Craigslist (under 700) and it is a great little amp, very portable can really crank if you need it to. It's not a Mark IV, but I really like its own distinctive sound. Much better value than Line 6. Good luck with your hunt.

I have a Lonestar Special 2x12 Black Combo (with foot-switch, cable and cover and papers) in near perfect condition that I would like to trade for a Triaxis or Mark IVb. Will get some pics together tonight. PM me with an email address and I will send pics as soon as I have them together if you...

Hey Syd, don't refrain, I always use my Mark IV for practice, there is no substitute for having the "real" sound while practicing. Otherwise you are just wondering if its going to sound right when you get to the gig. I think the Mark IV with a Hot Plate works perfectly for practice, but even...

Man, a five month wait would have killed me. I am kicking myself that I sold my regular JP6 (lave pearl loaded), as I think these are the best value for money guitar you can get. The action on my BFR is insanely good and it was also on the one I sold. The factory fitted compensated nut, which...

One of the things I like about the JPs is the ease of setup. Everything is very easily accessible and you can adjust everything needed to do your own setup in a few minutes. I check everything each time I change the strings, as I do not have a perfectly climate controlled environment.

Here's a quick clip I did using the RK direct through the GSP 1101. (see post above) Please excuse the playing, just making it up on the spot. http://soundclick.com/share?songid=6611412

I use my RK for recording using a Digitech GSP 1101 taking the direct outs from the GSP into the board, and a Hot Plate to tame the beast (attenuate the amp) so I can record and play all night. The GSP is interesting in that you can put its overdrive and stomp box stuff (which I rarely use) in...

Yep, I do. I go through phases of playing different guitars for a while then move on to another. I feel very lucky to have a few to go to. The Mojo is definitely right up there (a keeper) IMHO. Thinking of trying a Suhr Standard or a Caparison TAT next. Man did you read that Schecter post over...

I have a Parker Fly Mojo with the Seymour Duncans which sounds amazing (IMHO) through all my amps, including the Mark IV, which is my go to amp. Perhaps a pup switch would do the trick. I actually like the Mojo almost as much as the BFR JP6.

I have a Mark IVA Short Head and RK S1 Combo and I would suggest you do not swap. They are both amazing amps, but quite different. I got the RK thinking of losing the Mk IV but decided to keep both.

One of the most significant differences is the JP6 has a factory fitted compensated nut, which make a huge difference in the intonation. The JP6 is very versatile and the piezo trem bridge is exceptionally comfortable for palm mute tech. I personally find the thin neck the most comfortable I...

I think you are right, hang on to it at least till the dust settles a bit. You can get an FU3 foot-switch here: http://mesa.stores.yahoo.net/fcfu3.html

A six year old very good condition Short Head went on eBay last week for $1816.00 and thats when we thought it was just the short head was being discontinued. Now there are combos for 1600.00, which is more than I paid for my RK combo. I would hang on to the Mark IV because its very unlikely to...

I am currently going through a very serious case of GAAS, and have a RoadKing S1 combo, Mark IVA, LSS, 5:25, StudioPre, and I have a VHT Sig:X on the way. The point is, I am trying to do side by side comparisons of as many amps as possible and so far the Mark IV is still the all around winner...

If you get a chance to get a Mark IV at a decent price, go for it. I now have a bunch of amps now (see sig) and although I like all of them for versatility, the one I couldn't live without is the Mark IV. One six year old short head went on ebay this week for $1816.00 and I almost bought it. I...

Get a Road King! It really does solve the problem. IMHO

Road King Rules! Hands down, best **** amp ever made! Congrats!

The Mark IV has that wonderful creamy lead tone ala John Petrucci, but the RK can give you many lead sounds. The RK has way more top available if you want it, but you can just as easily back it off, to get a more creamy sound. Not exactly like a Mark IV but an absolute joy to play nontheless. I...

I have a Road King S1 combo, and a Mark IVa + EV Thiele, and I really believe the Road King is the ultimate amp. What I find amazing about this amp, it is that I can dial in a new sound and it just inspires me to play, every time. It's like this amp is my musical partner, I just turn it on and...

Hi Guys, I am new here and would like to get some feedback from some of you knowledgeable fellows. In my never ending search for the tone to end all tones I have ended up with quite a lot of gear, all of which I am happy to say I love. I am not any kind of connoisseur of these pieces, and I...
