Heya guys, first ? on the boards, couldn't find similar so here goes:
Ok, this is probably a strange questions. I bought a black mark 4 about 18/20 years ago, used it for years but eventually "Life Occurred" & it was put aside. Started using it again a few years back but needed a serious noise gate in order to play my style of music, got a Zoom G2.1u and found that it's "mk3 boogie emulation" mode, after weeks of tweaking levels, distortion, EQ, fx, noise gate, etc, worked better for recording than the boogie's line out.
I've been traveling ultra light & using just the ibanez & zoom (straight into the PA) for small gigs/rehearsals but have decided to start trying to get the mk 4 ready for live work again.
I'm wondering what's the best way to use the mk4 along w/ the zoom without the amps settings throwing my overall sound out or altering it too much, i.e. which is the best channel to run through to let the G2 pedal dictate the overall sound & the best way to turn off or neutralize the mk4's eq, tone, treble, mid and use it's amplification capability more than it's "tone shaping" qualities.
When I get the time I'll work out the best way to dial back the zooms "boogie emulation" setting back and let the mesa speak for it's self but for upcoming gigs I'm mostly after it's volume/punch capacity.
Any advice is appreciated.
cheers
