i will try to phrase this question to make some kind of sense.i love my mark 4...although it has taken me a while to understand the ins and outs.there are so many factors that alter your tone...i guess the point i am at now,i am struggling with the use of the simul-classa...the pentode-triode...and the mid gain- harmonics and full and tweed power switches.should the use of pentode-simul-full give me more punch?should i lose the slamming dimebag darrell type of punch using triode class a-tweed power.i am in the process of experimenting at gigs and sometimes i feel my ears might be playing tricks on me.thanks for any input.

Pretty much only you can make these decisions.

The Mark IV can get that type of punchy distortion with no effects? Referring to the dimebag comment.

I think it depends on what you are going for. If you change some of the universal settings like the pentode/triode, simul, and tweed you may rob the clean sounds a little.

I personally like the Tweed power for the crunch but my shimmery clean suffers a little.
