Wow! Get that POS Gibson thing off the top of that Mark IV and learn how to use the Mark IV. Dude, those settings are whack! No way should your master volume be that high, not to mention your EQ settings; what the hell, man??!!!

I've owned my Mark IV for 10 years. I could show you how to properly run that amp and you would piss yourself.

Dude!!

@gitarysk I respect your comment though. It's nice to see somebody who actually has an opinion of their own as to why they don't like something, instead of just talking crap. Well said gitarysk :)

@gitarysk I'll give you that. The IV is DEFENTILY NOT for the impatient, or those looking for instant gratification. But once the controls are truely understood as to how they effect eachother and sound, the payoff is unbelievable. I think what a lot of people find to be a lack of character in a Boogie is actually their lack of knowledge as to how a Mark (or any Boogie) operates. That being said, Boogies are VERY clear and non-forgiving.some people can't play on, or don't like amps like that.

@boogie51788 Yes Electra Dyne and Stiletto are designed to sound British but they don't sound as good as the JCM 900 SL-X

I would consider Marshall, Blackstar or Orange for British sound and they cost less

yes I can get a lot of sounds out of my mine but it's just pain to find those sound as the knobs are super sensitive and even a 1/8 turn changes the sound a lot so I'm not sure if I can say that I'm happy with mine. to me Mesa gain sounds good but not as good as Marshall ..less character

[boogie51788]

@gitarysk Mark Series? or "Generally Mesa amps"? Because if you're really talking about "Generally Mesa amps" then you obviously haven't plugged into an Electra Dyne. Hahah...Try talking to anyone who has really played through a real Plexi and an Electra Dyne. Not only can the Electra Dyne nail a great Plexi sound spot on, it blows it out of the water...oh yea, not to mention that the Electra Dyne's are much more consistant amp to amp. Simply put, the ED is everything the Plex ever wanted to be.

[gitarysk]

@boogie51788 Generally Mesa amps don't do it all

a Boogie can't sound like overdriven plexi no matter what you do with it

they have they signature sound and break up that no other amp can do

[gitarysk]

sounds like shit LOL

@astro2069 The cool thing about Marks is that once you understand which controls effect others, you can dial in ANY tone in history and create all kinds of new ones as well. The funny thing is that all of those tones are the defenition of pure perfection. The ceiling is unlimited with the Mesa Boogie mark IV and/or V. I run my IV and V in stereo and do ozzy, rush, holdsworth, pink floyd, ratt, journey, grateful dead, morbid angel, pantera, orginals, etc. They do it all.

[boogie51788]

I wouldn't listen to all of these chumps who talk about how "terrible" your sound is. It would be comical just to watch most of them sit down and TRY to operate it. You don't sound bad. The IV is one of the best amps ever created. I've owned mine for one year, and am still discovering new and amazing organic tones and feels daily. People who say that Mesa's (Marks) sound like crap are usually lazy, unpatient people who want instant gratification. Marks are great at absolutly every style of music

[boogie51788]

@astro2069 I can't really say because both the IV and the V are equally the most incredible amps I have ever owned, played, or heard. Marks take a bit of time to really learn but the payoff is incredible. The IV is actually tougher to dial in than the V. Once you do learn how to dial them and grasp how they work, they will provide limitless tonal bliss. In short, here's how I would define them: IV = The most organic sounding and feeling amp ever made. V = Pure Perfection. Both are outstanding.
