The Mark IV thread....!!

[Shep]

yeap..just make sure the speaker is the same or higher ohmage to the amp..thats the rule..

 

[ibanez4life SZ!]

Reading up here is not helping my Mark IV gas...the wait is killing me :?

ETA says it will be here late July/early August...let's hope

 

[ToneAddictJon]

I'm too impatient, I couldn't order something and have to wait that long, if I put out the cash I want the product right then :twisted:
Thought I'd rub it in a little more, I was just playing with mine for about 4 hours today :twisted: 8)

 

[ibanez4life SZ!]

That's mean

When I get my amp, I promise you I will top that 4 hours

In repayment for your meanness, you can click on the link in my sig and send a vote for my band in the battle of the bands

 

[ursinus]

My amp is naked right now, my head shell is still about 4 weeks away....

The wait will be worth it......

 

[phillyred79]

So naughty!!!

 

[ESPEcho602]

What does headroom mean?

 

[mesanomad100]

the amount of volume you can get from an amp without it distorting etc

mainly clean channels

I've been busy with a course I'm taking and my MKIV is just sitting in the corner of the room all lonely! I'm sorry...that was mean. Now don't anyone start going on about their IIC+ that would burn me!

 

[DaveyJack]

I've heard that MK IIC have a more agressive Lead than MKIV?

Does anyone can confirm that?

If yes, I'm just going to run after one!

I put a Century 80 watter in a Lonestar, blew it up after two gigs, even at the 50 watt setting. Sounded almost as good as a G12-T00 (bit less bottom), but it couldn't take the juice. EV's rule. LS also POS, going back to MK III until MK IV arrives.

It might be the MK III you are thinking of. Bad thing about the III is that it shares eq b/w the lead and clean channel. It has been said that finding a happy medium is hard.

that sounds right .. the mk IV is the smoothest out of the II III IV .. the IIc+ are alot more agressive than the mkIV which makes them great for rhy..

i still got 6 weeks wait on my mark IV. my patience is being tested big time!

In that case, how does one make the MarkIV sound more aggressive, without modifying the circuitry?

 

[petejt]

^^ would using a parametric EQ in the effects loop help make it sound aggressive? if so, how should the EQ be set?

more top's..alittle less gain..pentode setting..basically things that make it less smooth.. less mid's help..

Thanks for the advice. 8)

So, are you saying that, to make it MORE smooth, the reverse of what I want, would be to have less tops (treble), add more gain, triode setting, and more mids?

 

[Shep]

yeap..spot on..

 

[devilrob1979]

An EQ in the loop can definitely make your MkIV more "aggressive." I had mine sounding insane earlier today by boosting the highs and lows a bit, cutting the mids a bit and putting in some boost. Not a sound I would want to use a lot but it was kinda fun for a little bit.
