Sounds like you want to do exactly what I did. I extended it in one dimension to match the width of the head, and changed the depth accordingly to keep the internal volume the same. If you don't want to mess with calculators, why not just add an extra thickness of 3/4" wood to the sides that...

Yes, the gasket is important. Air leaks kill bass response.

Ah. Gotcha.

I'm working on converting my MKIV combo to a head/cab setup. My Dad loves wood projects, and he built me the head shell. I gave him some pictures and dimensions and he sent me the raw wood shell, and I covered it with Tolex. I'm not really going for perfect factory reproduction, just something...

Others of what? Mark IVs in general? Lots. :)

My serial number is 5446. What's yours?

Wow. I guess that sure sums it up! Thanks for your help, I guess I'm good to go. I'm not too worried about the recording circuit. :) Thanks, Ken

Hi all, I have a Mark IV built in 1992. I am not the first owner. I am converting from combo to head, so I removed the amp and took a look inside. As I looked around in there I found a couple of things that didn't look like the pictures I'd seen in the big Mark IV thread, so I was wondering if...

Well I also prefer to sleep on a bed, not a couch or outdoors! :) The 4x12 is going to have to wait. :)

Thanks everyone, you guys rule. I have been experimenting with the tone knobs and EQ settings a lot in the past week or so. I do have the bass knob set between 3 and 5 typically. The problem I'm having is that I already have the EQ set to a pretty deep V curve because that gives me the scooped...

I'm using a Schecter with a 25.5" scale... but that .060 string is still floppy at Drop B. :?

Thanks again for all the help everyone, I really appreciate it! You mentioned that if the guitar doesn't sound tight unplugged then it won't sound tight plugged in. Well, that certainly is part of my problem. Unplugged, I can hear and see that the low string is muddying things up by moving...

I only listed the settings for the lead channel because that's my concern here... I'm talking about heavy rock with distortion. If I should be focusing on Rhy2, by all means let me know! Is drop b too much for this amp? I don't know, but I have read a lot of success stories regarding the use of...

Thanks. I will certainly try all your suggestions. One question regarding the bass setting. If I turn the bass knob down, it's filtering bass out of the earlier stages. Then if I boost the bass on the GEQ, isn't it trying to boost a signal that's been attenuated up stream? Maybe I'm thinking...

Thanks for all the advice. Here are my settings. Lead gain 6-7 pull, seems to work best with the Duncan pickup. Lead treble 5 Lead bass 3-4 Lead mid 5 Lead drive 6 (neither in or out seems to make a good sound but both work fine with Drop D.) Lead presence 4, pull. Lead volume 3 GEQ standard V...

Hello, I have a MK IV (an "a" I'm pretty sure based on what I've read here on the forum.) I play hard rock and some metal. I love the sound of the MK IV. However recently I decided to get another guitar and set it up with heavy strings for Drop B tuning, so I could play some Chevelle, Breaking...
