I'm not getting the wind tunnel effect anymore but now once out of every 20 minutes or so the high end completely rolls off, as if someone walks over and lowers the 6600 slider below the middle line. After a few seconds it comes back. But for all the crap that the IV has on it, i usually just use one setting. Simulclass, pentode, with the EQ on, and i gave up on R2. So i figure why don't i just get a MarkIII. Out of the III's and IIC+'s i have played the IV is my least favorite out of them. I still like them all but i prefer the III's and II's.

I had the same problem that you described and using a Mesa SP12ax7 fixed it. The problem was that I did not like the Mesa tube so I tried a few preamp tubes until the problem wass fixed. a JJ worked just like the mesa, so I stopped there!! That said, I think a MKIII is better for what you want in the Boogie realm. I happen to love my MKIV but out of all my Boogies, it is the most tempermental.

I may have one of those, I'll try it. If i was gigging out on a regular basis the IV would probably be the best bet. If they tweaked R2 and gave the amp a solo boost then the IV would be one of the best channel switchers ever, not that it doesn't argueabley compete but with all the new channel switchers out there, the IV could use a facelift.

r2 is useless to me as a crunch channel on both versions of the MKIV's. I have always said from day 1 that R2 was lame and is a HUGE downfall to the MKIV. I have been a boogie fan since the 80's but they are quickly going the way of many other popular amp mfgs in not listening to what players want. IMHO Mesa should take notice of what Marshall is doing and that is something that I thought I would never say. I would use the JVM over the MKIV in a coverband in a NY min and thats saying something.

Dude, if I was in the mood for a Mark (and hadn't just purchased another recto), I'd jump all over that mo-fo.
