I received a request earlier tonight to do a song from the band Disturbed so I thought a I would share. I didn't use a boost at all on the guitars and thought it turned out pretty good. I never really listened to them until tonight. I actually like some of their stuff ( even if it is probably more radio friendly metal).

I thought the clip turned out pretty good. There are a couple of mistakes seeing as how I just tried this out tonight for the first time. I might try to do the whole tune including an improvised lead.

What do you think? I noticed that it sounds best if you turn it loud.

 
:rock: Fuckin' A. Too bad every time I play a MKIV it sounds like SHIT! I keep hearing these clips, and I keep wanting to try them again and again, but every time... :cry:
 
Sounds cool. But, for that type of tone i would use more highs and lows and less mids.
 
Very nice!

I agree, I would have enjoyed a bit more upper bite but that is just me cause the clip sounds great!
 
Jesus the basic MK IV platform has been around for around 17 years and is still imo one of the best all round amps going.

So freaking smooth.

Got to give it some time. First time I played one I left really frustrated. I wanted to love it but didn't. 3 years later I bought one on a whim from a member of the Gear Page without even playing it. 8 months later I couldn't be happier with my Mark IV. It is extremely versatile and I can get any tone I want with just my guitar's volume knob and a boost (if needed). Get the amp in your natural playing environment and turn the knobs. The Mesa Boogie Mark series may not be for you. I say give it another chance when you can.

Thanks! I know Dan. I just can't get myself to scoop it all out. I like a pretty balanced tone. Maybe I'll play around and have some fun with a "true" modern metal tone. You haven't posted any new clips for a while. I always look forward to them.

Thanks! I am going to give that a try. I am actually working on a Satriani type clip over the next couple of days as well.

Thanks! You've got to pickup a Mark IV someday. I think you would really like it. Maybe you already had one at one time, right?

Sounds F'n awesome like always! :rock:

I love my Mark IV, but I can't get it to sound that good!

Btw.. when you record what is your master and channel volume set at?

I have the same problem with the MKIV. It just doesn't work with the way I play and/or my guitars/cabs. Either way though, we dont' get along.

Nice sounding clip by the way.
