I know most don't like doing this but if you don't like it, explain why? and maybe try some more neutral EQ settings on your amp (all around noon) and let the pedal do the boosting and tightening. It's a killer sound on a Mark IV, on the lead channel and r2. I tried boosting my old mark III when I had it 5 years ago, but with traditonal metal settings and it just thinned out the tone and made is nasally, never even thought to try some different EQ settings on the amp. It's worth a shot.
Just dial the amp in to where it sounds kinda like an unboosted recto, flubby, loose, like treble 5 (or maybe 6) bass 5 (or 4) middle 5, gain and lead drive at 7 or 8 and listen to the the magic happen when you throw that boost up front. It may not be better than having your typical Mark settings without a boost, but it's a cool alternative tone you can get out of these amps.
