The Mark IV thread....!!

[Shep]

no thats cool dude... i know of plp using he lead channel as a rhy ..which sounds very very brutal... i use JJ 6l6's at 30 or 70 in an orange cab and it sounds very evry nice..i use channel 2...

 

[Russ]

Yeah, I like the Lead as a Rhythm channel then just stomp some clean boost to get out front.

how does the mk iv compare to the bogners?

The MkIV hangs with the Bogners. I can't say I prefer one over the other. They all sound great.

However, I run the MkIV through a 1x12 Theile with an Eminence Delta Pro 12A. It is similar in sound to the EVM 12L, but slightly less bright. I use a slight treble boost on the MkIV to manage the flub. Ironically, the treble boost let's me get a fatter sound out of the MkIV. I run the Bogners through a Rectifier 4x12.

I do not like the MkIV thru the V30's; and, conversely, I do not like the Bogners through the Theile.

The cab makes a big difference as does the treble boost.

I like the MkIV enough that I have two. One with all 6L6 tubes and one with EL34 in the outer sockets.

I run both MkIV's in class A pentode.

i love mk iv's in orange's 4x12 ( v30's ) or the EVM 200 1x12..thats wat i think sounds right for me..

New MKIV user here. Just got it at the begining of the month. I have been experiementing with my POD XTLive in the loop for effects only. It's been great. I usually set up a patch/patches for a particular song and can play the rhythm dry and then switch to the effects loop for the solo. The POD has an eq pedal/boost and that gives me a nice solo volume boost also when needed. With this rig I can cover alot of bases.

Here's a pic of the rig.

Nice rig..

Who made the extension?

Great bang for buck cabs. They sound awesom. I've got a Vintage 30 paired with a G12h30 and it sounds great. I can also use the rectoverb speaker and have a 3/4 half stack config.

Nice rig, but there is more flame in that guitar neck than a 4 alarm fire.
What is it?

Everytime I post this pic people want to know what that guitar is. :lol:

It does have a great flame neck. Would you believe me if I told you I paid $250.00 for it. :shock:

bump for the Mark IV clan!

 

[Shep]

we should get this sticky....the mk iv is the one of the most talked about...maybe that wouldn't be a bad idea..

 

[Grandor]

Stickyed.

 

[UsrName]

What do you guys think? I should be getting it this week.

 

[Guitarzan]

Sweet...are those 6V6's?

 

[UsrName]

Yup! The guy said as soon as he bought it, he put them in, so I'll be getting the original 6L6s with almost no play time on them as well. I don't think he had the amp set up correctly for them though.

 

[UsrName]

I'm thinking about replacing the grill with a tan or wicker grill.

Is there a one-stop-shop for settings around here?

Thanks! My Mark IV should be here in about a week. It's a '95 but virtually unplayed. Can't wait to hear the EV!.

I assume you would have to play pretty damn loud to break in this speaker. Does it sound much different than when new?
