[eric91]

Hey guys, Im new to this forum and am interested in getting a Mark IV.

Im just curious of one thing... Whats the difference between the short,

There is no long head . The difference in short and medium being some of the rear panel controls are moved to the front panel making a bit longer . You need to be on vintage amp amp though .

Just curious, why did guys you point him over to the vintage amp section?

 

[JamesD]

They did that because that section is made for discussion on those amps

Thats where the Marks are discussed

but the mark IV is a current production amp, so it should be discussed here.

I have the short head. Out of curiosity, what extra controls would be on the front of the medium head?

The Graphic EQ (Auto R2 vs. EQ On) and Lead Voicing (Harmonics vs. Mid Gain) switches are between the Graphic EQ and the Output Level knob on the right side.
