Have had and loved my Mark IV since about 94 or 5. Probably 1,000 gigs or close to it.
I think the amp has plenty of mids on its own. With the pull shift pulled, I hear that nasally sound Mark haters talk about. Pushing it in, the amp comes to life with plenty of highs and lows.
I run the Rhy II gain usually around 9 - pulled thick. The lead gains around 8. Both masters around 4 - so clearly, plenty of gain. Treble in the 7-9 range -mids around 4 and bass around 3.5 or 4. I use each as a rhythm sound. Kick in the EQ for a lead boost (soft V).
Can't really see using the amp any other way. So tell me something new about this fine amp.
Why do so many guys prefer the presence knob pulled? I don't get it.
