I was looking for a nice tone on my Mark IV hardwood 1x12 combo.
But then this happened...
I have an old Marshall 4x12 with greenbacks.
So I connected the Marshall cab and this is what I came up with:
(lead channel only)
Lead gain: 4, pull fat
Lead treble: 9.5
lead bass: 1.5
Lead mid: 3
Lead drive: 9, bright in
Presence: 7, pull shift
with the EQ as follows:
80Hz: just under top horizontal line
240 Hz: just above middle horizontal line
750 Hz: about halfway between bottom and mid horizontal line
2200 Hz: Just above bottom horizontal line
6600 Hz: between the 750Hz and 2200 Hz level
I disconnected the EV speaker, as I liked the rock tone of the Greenbacks more.
Just try it out.
And tell me: should I buy a Marshall or what is wrong with me??
But really: what am I doing here: the treble is all the way up, so bass and middle don't do very much anymore. Tone circuit is in fact replaced by the 5way EQ, post gain stages. Very Marshall-esque.
It's a very nice tone.
And no matter what I do I always find myself looking for very similar tones. So SHOULD I just buy a Marshall??
