I have what, from what I have read, is a Mark IV A. It has not satalite send, and instead of the loop jacks being in the triangular configuration I have 2 switchable loops. It is a combo, I am told a 93. Has a really nice EV.
I noticed right away that the amp seemed to have a bit less gain than I am used to Mark IVs having. Especially Rhy 2. I used to love the Rhy2 channel on past Mark Ivs I have owned. I could get some really tight, hard hitting metal tones out of Rhy 2 on those amps. But on this one, Rhy 2 does not dial in a lot of crunch at all.
Having used clues gathered here to ID my Mark IV as an A (earlier, pre Satilite Send model) and then having read somewhere that the Rhy 2 on later Mark Ivs was signifigantly stronger, with more gain I am curious to know the truth.
What are the sigifigant, real differences between an A or B?
I have owned quite a few Mark IVs (and a whole crap load of other Boogie stuff....) and never even knew there were A and B type Marks IVs until a couple weeks ago.
