Best Overall Settings for Mark IIC+ 60 watt combo (non eq)?

[mreeve25]

Hello everyone!!!

I was looking to see if I could get some suggestions.

I have a Mark IIC+ Sixty Watt Combo. (NO EQ/Non Simulclass)

I am looking for some settings that might accentuate the BEST possible overall tone in both channels.

Of course it has the same knobs as the others:

Volume 1, Treble, Bass, Middle, Master 1, Lead Drive, Lead Master, Reverb, and Presence.
Pull options on: Volume 1 (Pull Bright), Treble (Pull Shift), Bass (Pull Shift), Master 1 (Pull Deep), Lead Drive (Pull Lead), and Lead Master (Pull Bright).

I like to play hard rock and Metal (Metallica) sometimes, but am not neccesarily looking for (THAT METALLICA SOUND).

The amp has the MS-12 Speaker in it, and I also have a theile cabinet w/ a EV 12L.

I am going to be running both at 4 ohm's each, to give (hopefully) a full versatile sound.

Any help, suggestions would be awesome!!!

Thanks,
Michael

Start with http://homepage.mac.com/mesaboogie/settings.html and go from there. Set the Volume1 as high as you can while still getting whatever clean sound you are going for. One persons "BEST possible overall tone in both channels" is not anothers.

To get Metallica sound you may want to get a EQ pedal so you can scoop the mids.
