I like class A at lower volumes as well, mostly because you get tube breakup at lower levels, especially when combined with tweed power and tritode. However, similar to what the previous posters said, it lacks the headroom that the simul-class provides. What class A does provide that simul-class...

I used to use an Ernie Ball 6166 VP in my set-up but my FCB 1010 doesn't have an external expression pedal output, so I'm using the two Behringer provides. However, I know EB makes a VP for active instruments (6167 I believe). Check it out on the EB site (www.ernieball.com) and if you're...

WOW!! What luck. This must clearly be a coincidence. About 5 minutes ago, I received a call from the GC rep telling me that my Mark IV has arrived. Problem solved, thank heavens. Time to pick up my OWN Mark IV :-)

Hopefully that won't be the issue, but if it is, I have a very good lawyer if this were to go as far as going to court. The Mesa rep from the GC said that there's no way that I can have Mesa/Boogie track my order or give a status quota on it. Is this true? I really just hope there has only...

After knowing that on average, it takes Mesa/Boogie about 6-10 weeks for a Mark IV to be made and shipped, I had no problem placing a special order at my local Guitar Center around early December (one of the very good GCs compared to horrific stories I've heard) and simply played the waiting...

Can't agree anymore than the rest of you guys.. In fact, I ordered a CFX4 and Mark IV cable a few hours ago. That's probably the only thing wrong with the amp. Instead of calling it a Mark IVC, they should just make it an option to replace that chasis slot with a Midi input, I don't care...

Yeah, because I've read that a lot of times and although it says that it works, they don't say if it damages the amp. Then I've heard from other people that it works fine, but as you said I've also heard about the popping. Personally, I just wanted that info to be completely confirmed by...

I'm another G-Major + Mark IV owner and fan and I can tell you that on distortion, make the reverb mix around 10-14%. Even sometimes it gives a lot of verb, but obviously if you're using delay, either make the delay stronger and weaken the verb, or vise versa because that delay really adds in...

As the other guys said, go with the G-Major. Incredible, versatile FX unit. Definitely look around TC Electronic, Rocktron (Xpression or Intelliflex/Repliflex), Lexicon, or if you have thousands of dollars waiting to be spent, get an Eventide. I suggest going to the manufacturer's site of...

Don't forget to Pull Fat, Tritode, and Simul-Class (or class A if you want more warmth for less headroom) Pull Bright at lower volumes to get a bit of a gain boost. And don't forget to use that EQ! Finally, be sure to be able to crank the output to at least 3 with your masters set at...

A widebody has more lower-end at the expense of additional weight

This was one of my major concerns about this amp. Don't worry at all man. The Mark IV is about 72-76 lbs with the casters, but I've had absolutely no problem carrying this thing up/down stairs or in and out of cars. In fact, the Mark IV feels significantly lighter than my Spider 2 212 combo...

Wow, thank you very much for the warning, because I was planning on doing something similar to this with a FCB 1010. Now that I know of the consequences, I think I'll play it safe and buy a CFX4 with my G-Major. Sorry to go a little off-topic, but would this be a correct setup G-Major >...

Being that I have found my dream tones for my lovely Mark IV, I am ready to enhance those tones with some quality FX. FX-wise I have chosen the Rocktron Xpression for its incredible, yet transparent effects Aside from that, since the Mark IV doesn't have a midi input, but several other features...

Update: I received my Mark IV today, and she is quite a beauty. All this studying of the amp allowed me to dial in a remarkable (no pun intended) tone within 15-20 minutes. But one thing that surprised me the most is how much lighter this amp is than expected. I won't have to buy a dollie for...

Great tone and delay man. I agree with the others, the doubled version does sound better, but the normal version is no slacker. We're you using the R2 channel in some moments of those clips or the lead channel throughout? And if you don't mind, care to share your settings?

Hah. That thought ran in my head today. Thinking I have it bad, I can only imagine how much money your chiropractor has made while lugging that 2x12 RK combo.

Thanks for the replies. I'm probably going to end up going to Home Depot to check out some dollies, regardless of price. My current amp weighs about 72lbs with the footswitch and any EBMM 6166 pedal inside of it. However, it didn't have casters, which made it a pain to carry it across large...

Hey guys, been lurking here for a few months and decided it was my time to join this forum. In about 9 days, I will be a proud owner of a Mark IV Widebody Combo. I'm definitely excited about this amp (to the point where I've read about every accessable Mark IV article to really get to know...
