Red stripe had the R2 mod, really a killer amp I hated the fact that I had to sell it to get th efunds together for the IV. I would've loved to have been able to keep both. Ahhhh.....Mortgages, private school for the little angel.............. I'm denied by lifes responsibilities :(

I've had my mark IV"a" for about a week now, I thought it was surprisingly easy to dial in. Maybe because I was coming from the III but I thought it was pretty easy. The amp does sound quite a bit diffierent on full power in simul class and harmonics and Triode, as compared to Class A/Mid...

yes it does.

thanks guys! Well my III is all boxed up and ready to go to California (from Boston) tomorrow morning. it's a sad day for me as well as a happy one. I loved my III. I 've been playing on and off since 1975 and my III was easily the best amp I've ever owned. It' gave me "that tone" that I...

whereever it's the quitest. My IV i s "off' my III is on "A"

No mine is very quite at all volume levels, May be time for a retube or your ground switch may need to be moved to another setting.

the 750 slider I supposed is to taste, I don't know of anyone running the presence any higher than 3-4. I find the 750 slider up closer to the line above where you have yours makes the amp sound much thicker (run the mids (dial at about 5) Again each amp is different from the next, but on my...

Hey that looks just like mine :D do you really run the 750 slider down that low? and the presence that high on the lead channel? :shock:

I actually like it in there, I have to run that amp in tweed at Simul class so I don't blow it , but for late night playing at really low volumes I like it. the seller wants to put it into an Empty 4X12 he bought so he's going to give me back the original speaker to put back in.

I need to get it outside and take some natural light pics. this thing is in great condition. there's a little ***** paing smudge on the left front edge but that's it. Amazing how these innocent looking little amps can sound so nasty. there's a V30 in there now but the seller is giving me the...

Congrats that's a sweet Deal. the 10 band in the loop should work just fine Enjoy!!!!

I run my Mark III thru a Recto 2X12 and it sounds great. I can only think thru a Recto 4X12 that it will sound amazing.

If I turn the gain down to 6 and the output to 7 and use my Boss SD-1 in front I can get close. The III with a clean boost in front is really, really close, add an MXR 10 band EQ to the loop and you can get even closer. the only reason I'm seriously going for the IV is that on Tweed in...

thanks! I wish I could afford to keep both of them as my III is little more "raw" and "open" sounding, somtimes I like it better than the IV but the Liquidy lead channel on the IV kills. Ideally having the III set up for rhythm adn the IV as my lead amp would just kill.

Well my III is in the classifieds so I guess I've decided to go for it!

An MXR 10 band EQ in the loop can get you most of what the onbaord GEQ can do. if it's in good shape $500.00 is a good deal, If you like the Mark III sound , I'd go for it. My III has the onboard GEQ and I still use a 10 band in the loop (for multiple tone settings lead/rhythm etc)

Well I've pretty much decided on going with the IV. I played around with both of them all weekend and the IV has won me over. On Tweed/MidGain/Class A/triode the IV sounded better to me at lower volumes than my III does in Simul Class and that was also an important factor for me . I have...

III or a IV I went from a Recto to my mark III (mine has the R2 mod) and couldn't be happier. With a clean boost in front and a 10 band EQ in the loop I can get a ton of really good usable tones out of it. Almost as heavy and tick sounding as my old recto but much tighter and sharper with a...

whoever said throw a 10 band EQ in the loop , nailed it. I am going thru this right now with my Red stripe III to a IV( A) that i can score from my buddy for a real good price. I have an MXR 10 band EQ in the loop of my III and I can get it to sound almost Identical to the IV lead channel. I'm...

thanks for the feedback guys. Well I spoke to him today and It's mine if I want it. I just need to do some 7 string stuff with it and make sure I can get the mean tone out of it that I can with my III (and that means that my Red stripe will be up for sale so if anyone is interested pm me) I'm...
