Hi Joe, thats some serious playing! love it! just wanted to ask you how much gain/drive/treble you use with your mark 4, i've got a mark 5 series amp and a 7string guitar and I seriosly consider to get a black dog.. it's just that i want to be sure that the pickup is not so weak that it wont be able to produce enough juice. that's why i ask about the gain/drive setting, to make a picture if this is the max it may produce or if there are still reserves in the gain/saturation area of the amp thx

[joekataldo]

@K4r0ll86 Don't worry the Black Dog has plenty of juice! I do like lower gain settings, the amp was on full power harmonics, gain at 8 pulled out drive at six pulled in. For the rhythm sound I used a 7 string guitar loaded with Nailbomb 7, same settings with the gain at 6.

Enjoy!
