So an interesting occurrence happened last night at rehearsal. I've been working with a Whitesnake tribute project and I've been using my Mark IV, I love it, with my Mesa vertical 2X12 cab it sounds killer. Last night I used my Splawn 50 watt SuperSport and unanimously the entire band liked it...

I use Aztech all the time he's great over there but he doesn't want to touch the caps ,s o I figured just send it back to Mesa for a total overhaul.

I'm going to send my mark IV out tomorrow(from Boston) my lead channel only has about 1/3 of the volume of my R1/R2 channels, my midgain/harmonics switch isn't doing anything and when I go from clean to lead channel the pop is so loud that it's basically not usable for gigging. the caps were...

added another cab :) I thnink I will probably move the Friedman 2x12, great sounding cab, but I don't need 2 V30 cabs not pictured is my Splawn 2X12 which I just gigged this weekend

Well I scored one today for real cheap in mint condition with a brand new cover even :) Interesting comparison between the Friedman and the Mesa. the Friedman cab is much fuller sounding but the Mesa fills the room much more than the Friedman. the Marshall cab has Scumback M75/J75's in it and...

no mismatching info in the mark IV manual :(

there's no combo here it's a head with 2 2X12 cabs , thanks for the 16 ohm tip as I do have a 16 ohm 4X12 as well that I wouldn't mind running along with one of my 2X12's :)

probably obvious but if I want to plug a 2nd cab in I assume I use the 2 4 ohm inputs correct?

thanks Bandit :) This would primarily be used with my 7's, unless I can coax out some good 70's, 80's rock tones with it , then I'd used it with the "Dad Rock" band I play in. My Splawn has been my main gigging amp for the last 3 years, but I wouldn't mind mixing it up a bit. I used to have a...

Wow! that's an early one , would love to hear it

I've been running my Mark IV through a Friedman 2X12 with V30's and it sounds great. I've always wondered how a vertical 2 X12 would sound especially on stage as I gig at least once a month. someone local to me has one in mint condition for $600.00 and I'm tempted but will it get me anything...

My Splawn is the same way :)

Well David got back to me, the Mr Scary won't work in my Splawn either so I'll have to live vicariously through you guys LOL! "the Splawn uses a Fender style plate-fed tone stack instead of a cathode follower"

I've always wondered if I'd like a roadster, as I love my mark IV ,but does a roadster give me anything that I can't get out of my Mark IV?

I wish there was room in my mark IV to fit one of these in. I'd love to see what it does in a Mark. I know people think marks have plenty of gain ,but I have to have my lead input gain )pulled) and drive both at 8 or over to get real saturation. I tend to dial them both down to 7 and then use a...

Jeff Loomis of nevermore rocking out through his duel rectos

I had an Axe Fx II and could never get it to work as well as I wanted it to in $CM with a number of amps I switched the FX8MKII and have been gigging it for the last 3 years issue free.

I've been playing around with my mark IV today. my Lead channel has no where near the volume of my R2 or R1 so I'm trying to figure out what's going on. it has gain etc. but if I run R2 up to 5 I have to dime the Lead master to keep up with it. BUT the other thing I realized to day is that...

I love the concept of the Mr Scary mod, I wish I could fit one into my Mark IV, I'd love to hear R2 with anther gain stage (lead channel as well) If I ever do pick up a Roadster (been eyeing one for years) I will definitely get one and throw it in there

don't forget bands like Nevermore, Strapping Young Lad, Meshuggah, Dream Theater (at lest for TOT)Testament etc; that "vein" loved duel rectos Creed system of a Down, Cannibal Corpse, Blink 182. in the early 2000's rectos and 5150's were all over the place
