Hi guys,
I noticed that when I'm at home with the Mark IV, I get some killer distorted tones...however, when I play out, I play much louder, and I noticed that the tone wasn't quite as good. What I noticed is that the distortion seemed a bit more buzzy...
That being said, I didn't have much time to tweak the amp during soundcheck, so I just went with the settings I had. Basically, the settings at home, but a higher master output level.
Are there any settings I should tone back on because of the high volume? I'm thinking maybe if I cut the gain and the treble some, it might help. Note, my mids and bass are pretty low(~2). I did not have the EQ running.
Another thing to consider...the amp was firing up at me and was about...6 feet or so from me(used as a monitor) so I'm wondering if maybe out there(I was miced) it sounds great, but because of my close proximity, it sounded bad...?
