I recently picked up a widebody 1x12 Mark IV combo, mainly due to the fact that I love the sounds other guys were getting with it. I'm having some trouble getting a good lead tone out of it though, and I'm not sure what else to do. It doesn't seem like theres nearly enough gain, and its just a buzzy, fizzy tone. I've tried various EQ settings, various volumes, I've tried the 1x12 C90 Black Shadow that's in the cab, as well as a 2x12 closed back V30 cab, with not a whole lot of difference. I've tried various boosts including a TS-9, OCD, Crunchbox, and a few others. The only thing I haven't tried changing are the tubes. It currently has 4 Sovtek 5881/6l6wgc, and 5 Mullard 12ax7/ecc83 in it. Are there other tubes anybody would recommend for a Mark IV? Any other thoughts? Thanks for any reply.
