current gigging equipment Spalwn Supersport EL34 50 watt (this is wha I've been gigging for the last 3 years) Early transitional "B" mark IV 80's JCM 800 $x!2 with Sumback M75's on top J75's on bottom Friedman 2X12 V30s' Peavey 6505MH (just a back up noodling toy that is quite surprising) Not...

I'm with Woodbutcher65 on this one. I have a Mark IV early "B" and a Splawn Supersport EL-34 50 watt head and a peavey 6505MH (back up head) The tonality between the Splawn (which is basically a boutique JCM 800 2203) and the Mark IV is pretty big. The OP described the tones he was looking...

I 've owned an "A" a later "B" and currently own a very early, what's called a "transitional B" the "A" and my current "B" have attached chords. the R2 on the "A" to me was useless, not only because it didn't have much gain, it was just a flubby mess. The lead channel on the "A" was a bit less...

I wonder as well, I don't know much about them but I stumbled across this video and , **** it sounds freaking great to me.

12, I had been studying classical cello since 3rd grade and then one day my older sister bought home "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" and Aerosmith "Get your wings" that was the end of the cello. Played till I was 22, band imploded , I went back to college and didn't touch a guitar again until I was 40...

I'm in the same boat, the plastic stem on mine broke. I was able to super glue it back in and it works but it's stuck in pulled , and if I wiggle it the gains cuts in and out. Mesa support has not been much help, they don't carry them any longer. :(

got this running through a Friedman 2X12 with V30's now, loving it I Did some more tube rolling today with this thing. Power section 4 JJ 6L6's- matched Now the Preamp section is this V1- RFT V2- JJ V3 - Blackburn Mullard V4 Amperex Bugle boy V5 - JJ Balanced A quick check and the mids sound a...

to the OP what did you get a head or a combo? if it's a head what are you using for a speaker cab?

love me my Charvels :)

is that black h/s/s form the 2010 era of MIJ Charvels? I used to have one just like it. also a fan of the Red Bishop arms, I used them on all of my Edge trems. I have a Dark Amber as well, just dropped a zebra set of Custom 5/Liquifire's sounds way better , I hate the fullshred.

looks killer!!!!! nice work. :)

I have run both the El34L and the EL34II, in several amps (but unfortunately not the Badlander) for me the EL34II is the clear winner. the "L" adds a lot of bass but in my JVM and MY Splawn it was just boom. the II's broaden the entire tonal spectrum of sound, they just sound like more of...

RFT in V1 and a Chinese (the old ones that are desirable) brought my Mark IV to life. I use RFTs in my Splawn , great tubes

It looks like? the problem caps have been replaced with the black 4700's? the seller I got it from told me the previous owner had it "serviced" but gave me no details anyone here who knows these guts tell me what I'm seeing? any help would be greatly appreciated as it will cost me and arm and a...

I foolishly sold my mint "B" short head back in 2014 and have missed it dearly. this week I was lucky enough to grab a "Transitional" "B" head #6030 and am extremely happy to have one back in my possession. since apparently this is a somewhat "rare" version of these heads I am thinking of maybe...

haha sorry yes Dream Theater So I think I'll forgo the 6V6 experiment as I'm not looking for vintage tones. Well it arrived and it's very clean (thank god) the previous owner has EL-34L's in the Class A sockets. Interesting sound, I did not really like EL-34's in my old mark IV but I'm on the...

I just pick up my 2nd mark IV (I foolishly sold my first one) I've generally preferred all 6L6's in the IV, but I've seen some posts in other forums of people really liking the IV with all 6V6's. What's does using that type of tube do and is it safe to do with the mark IV? I am primarily a...

congrats! I had an "A" and foolishly sold it 2 years ago, but I just found a really clean "B" that is being delivered today. :D

Well I just grabbed an older 50/50 off of Ebay for a good price (older unit with the red power lamp) so we'll see how it goes :lol:
