Here are my settings (Lead Channel

Lead Gain- 7 pulled
Treble- 6.5
Bass- 2
Mid- 3
Lead Drive- 7.5 pulled
Presence- 3
Master- 3
Output Level- 3
Graphic EQ:
80hz- 1/4 inch above the middle line
240hz- sitting just above the middle line
720hz- 1/4 inch below the middle line
2200hz- sitting just above the middle line
6600hz- sitting just above the middle line

My Rocktron Xpression supplied the delay for the lead and a Dunlop Crybaby. I mixed a Shure 57 and Sennheiser e609 over my Bogner Oversized 2x12 into an M-Audio Mobile PRE USB and recorded with N-Track 5 Studio. Maxon OD9 at Gain off and Level set at about 3 o'clock. No post EQ whatsoever. Recorded it with my Schecter Hellraiser with EMG 81.

I was just talking to Code001 about why nobody ever mentions Nevermore's Politics of Ecstasy album when people talk about heavy Mark IV tones. That album is all Mark IV and it doesn't get much heavier than that.

Anybody know how to translate that to the Mark III world? I know pulling different things does different stuff on each amp. I have the maxon od-9 that might help the sound a lot. Do you leave it on all the time or just for solos? Do you get a lot of feedback with it?

I left it on for the rhythm guitars only. No boosting for the leads. Only the wah pedal for that. I didn't have any feedback at all.
