Will a Mark IV chassis fit in a IIC+ combo

[adam02]

say one person has a mark IVB short head and another person has a IIC+ combo. Will the IV chassis fit into that combo and vice versa?

Thanks.

I believe it will fit, but there will be no footswitch mounts for the FU-3 in the C+ combo.

thats not a problem. But as long as it fits thats all that matters.

I do not believe they will fit. Well physically, they will but the mounting holes between a mark IV and mark 3 down are slightly different. I recently just bought the mark IV case off the member here hoping to put my mark 2 in it but the holes do not match. The mark IV mounting holes are in slightly more.

i just fitted my mk IV into a c+'s case..no problems at all..

My Mark IV short fits in both Mark III and Mark IV short head and combo cases.

Nice! Thanks for your crappy info timv :lol:

Not crappy info. I wasn't able to install a mark 2A into a mark 4 head case so in my personal experience that happened just last week, it wouldn't work. The chassis are the same width but the mark 4 holes sit further in from the sides. The rack kit that the mark 2 has on it has holes for both sizes so works with any of them. I have pictures showing the differences, I'll try to get links to them.

the IIA and earlier had different mounts. IIB up through IV are the same I believe

OK, let me try to link to them and you can see at least on the amps I had the difference in hole placement.

Try that.

I just looked at pictures of my old mark 3 and its holes were further out too so I think he is right about the 2A and back. Now I know.

My source said that the early MkIIB, IIA and original MkI have wider chassis mounting holes (Fender pattern) than the later ones. I have the MkI which has a wider mounting pattern than my MkIIC+'s.
