I'm happy to say that that did the trick. I'm in tone heaven now..... Thanks to everyone for their input. -Bastian

I sent it to the repairshop of the official Mesa Distributor here in Madrid. It turned out that the previous owner had the volume pot on the lead channel replaced...... and that instead of a 100K pot he put in a 10K pot. Still got to try it out, but it seems plausable that that was the root of...

Hi Kbourque, That's very encouraging. Please let me know once you find out what the problem was. Kind regards, Bastian

@phyrexia: It improves, but I still get a feeling that this can't possibly be the way it's intended. The lead channel still sounds thinner than Rhytm 1. Unfortunately I don't have another MKIV to compare it with. Maybe they're designed to operate this way, but instinctively I doubt it. Clean...

Instant gratification settings from Page 1 in the MKIV manual. It's a hardwood cabinet, and it's the first version of the MK1. It's the normal one, not a widebody. Bastian

The one I didn't swap is V5, the phase inverter. The problem of the lower volume on the lead channel appears with the EQ switched off and set to be controlled by the footswitch. I can improve the situation by tweaking the channel masters, but to get something approaching balance between the 3...

The EQ is controlled by the footswitch. If I punch it in the lead channel gets louder. The Effects Loop I'm not sure. I'll have to check when I'm at my amp again. B

Basically I've followed the suggested settings in the manual for instant gratification.

For me in order to have some kind of balance I have to put Rhytm 1 and 2 at 3-4 and lead at 8-9. Still, the Rhytm channels sound louder at this setting. Without EQ it's not good. Putting in EQ helps, but I can't really achieve a balanced sound between the channels.

Hi, I've recently bought a MKIV and I'm pretty new to it. The problem I'm having is that I get great sounds out of Rhythm 1 and 2 channels, however at the same channel volume settings the Lead sounds a lot weaker. The volume difference between Rhythm 2 and Lead is massive. On other amps...

Would the VTwin add any value to a MKIV combo?

Word of advice: Don't try and tinker with the systems of your car if you ever have a problem.....

Has anyone got any tips on how to restore a hardwood cabinet? I saw a pretty detailed desription here: http://homepage.mac.com/mesaboogie/resto.html However.... we don't have penofin in Europe. Are there any alternatives? -Bastian

I was just wondering if anyone has already tried the g-system together with the MarkIV and what their experiences are. Bastian

Anyone tried the G-system?
