Can you take another photo, this time with the cabinets placed diagonally for a checker look?

About using R2 properly... When I first got it, I wanted to use it for my heavy riffing tones...the few settings I tried that I found on the net weren't really pushing it hard enough for the application I was planning to use it for. After fucking with it, I managed to get the sound I wanted...

Congratulations on the purchase my friend.

I took someone else's advice to run the channel volumes on 8-10 and then just adjust the output to taste but what I noticed with that is the tone get's way too midrangy and thin sounding, so I opted to do the opposite ratio of volumes as indicated in my previous post.

I tend to like keeping the channel volumes no higher than 3.5 or so...and then push the output to 5 - 7 or so. I always use pentode/full power and often simuclass when I'm jamming with the band, otherwise at home I use triode, tweed and class A.

I gotta say I am really surprised with the reactions. When I first got my MK IV, I looked up some tones for MOP and AJFA type of tones but I wasn't really happy with what I got with R2. I began using my LEAD for my lead tone and then LEAD EQ for my scooped rhythem sound. Then I didn't want to...

I don't understand what everyone's gripe is with R2 on the Mark IV. I find it more than adequete for heavy rhythm sounds. With pentode setting, and channel volume around 2-3 and a 5+ master volume on full power...add tubescreamer in front, engage the EQ and you're in AJFA territory. That's...

Nice set up bro That's a nice looking ESP. You lucked out on the Mark IV....probably one of the last of the moheekans (sp?)

I don't know how other to explain but using the Lead channel is fine. Using the Lead EQ channel is fine. But I notice when I have the loop assignment off and I go to the LEAD channel, it looks like the button beside it (LEAD EQ) is a bit dim, although I am still playing on the LEAD channel.

Sorry, I meant to say on the footswitch. I notice this only when I've taken the loop FX off of being assigned to a channel. When I am on just the LEAD, the LEAD EQ button has a dim LED showing.

I noticed when I have my FX loop not assigned to any channels, when I am in LEAD mode the LEAD EQ LED has a dim light on. Is this common? I think near the end of the band practice I don't remember seeing it. Any idea what makes this happen? Anything to be concerned about?

thanks bro, that's a relief. Life is good again.

Does it make it less harmful if it was on standby? I'm guessing not based on your reaction.

Had a band practice yesterday and while the amp was warming up on standby I was chattin with the other guitarist and when I went to flick the amp on, I didn't get any sound and realized the speaker cable wasn't pushed all the way into the head. It sounded fine for the practice, but I'm just...

The shop in my neck of the woods let me borrow a stiletto duece stage II about a year ago. I brought it home, tried it out with my cabinet, pedals, guitars and such...and by the third day was up I was sold on it. Then after owning it for 3 weeks or so...I found myself trying to dial in mark iv...

The only time I get squealing on my mark iv is after I set it up at my drummer's place...it may take a couple minutes to dial in a tone for jamming levels and then another few to fine tune it and dial out the squeal. Usually, happens on RHY2 with my OD-9 on. Simply, roll back the treble...

How do you go about getting to the preamp tubes on the mark iv? I read somewhere before to remove the front grille to get to them...

I find with the lead prescence pulled it really smooths out the lead tone and I seem to hear more of that...harmonic scream is maybe the right word. I sometimes like it pushed on a low volume setting, but most of the time, and especially when jamming with the band at louder volumes I like the...

I need some help getting better high volume tones on my mark iv. Seems to me that with the tweed/class A/triode and then putting channal volume around 4 and adjusting the master to taste I can get a fantastic low volume tone for lead and rhythm. But when I'm jamming with the band at full power...

I have a friend with a marshall DSL and I brought my mark iv over to his place and set up a nice lead tone I came across on my mark iv and I played it and it sounded smooth and liquid and midrangy...then I let him try, hoping to sit back and enjoy the sound of the amp being played...but no such...
