I'm jonesing for another Mark IV but the prices on them are ridiculous. I just watched a video of Kyle Bull putting a 50 caliber through his usual "chug routine"
and it actually sounded (to my ears) very Much like a Mark IV,
any experience with these things here?

Actually yeah, just recently. Way less versatile than a Mark, which isn't a bad thing. A bit more Marshally too, the midrange sits differently.

Haven't had much time with it, but heres'a quick clip. Dialled in a bit thick and loose, but it has a vibe:

I have one here I’d sell. PM if interested.
 
I've had several .50 Caliber+ amps and a Mark IV. They're not terribly similar in my opinion and miss the flexibility and power section that make the Mark IV such a beast. There's not a lot of body to the tone due to the small 50 watt transformers Mesa uses. I never kept them for long (actually preferred the .22 Caliber), while I consider the Mark IV a great amp.
 
I think I'm going to just have to bite the bullet and look for a mark IV that isn't listed for $3000 LOL!
thanks guys
