Got a Mesa Mark IVb

[jlb32]

The Mark IV's are killer amps. I've gigged and loved mine for many years now.

Keep the "Output Level" around 3 and use the "Masters" for your up and down volume. On the lead channel the Output on 3 and Master on 2-4 sounds insane dialed in!!

Really liking this amp so far. Can't wait to see how it sits in the mix.
Still really pleasantly surprised how good R2 sounds with how much it gets dogged on. It rocks pretty hard.

My only issue with R2 is the shared EQ with 1. I like the bass up high on the clean channel, but then it flubs out when it's to high on R2. I have leave it low and run an EQ with a bass boost for cleans.

I almost always use RHY2 with the GEQ if I have the gain up.

for sure one of the best amps ever made, one I dont even consider selling, does it all

Absolutely true! Mine is a permanent fixture in my setup. It matches my style very well and does exactly what I need (plus a whole lot more).

Played my first gig with the Mark IV last night.
Sounded killer!!! Was really digging it and the guys in the band liked it too.
My Analog Man modded GE7 got here yesterday just in time. Stuck it back behind the amp and powered it off the courtesy out on the head. Left it on and just punched the FX button in and out of leads.
It's a fun amp for sure.

Here's how I roll. Notice how I my loop ain't plugged in! I felt like playing Ax8 free for a while. UH OH.
