Here are my settings (Lead Channel):

Lead Gain- 7 pulled
Treble- 6.5
Bass- 2
Mid- 3
Lead Drive- 7.5 pulled
Presence- 3
Master- 3
Output Level- 3
Graphic EQ:
80hz- 1/4 inch above the middle line
240hz- sitting just above the middle line
720hz- 1/4 inch below the middle line
2200hz- sitting just above the middle line
6600hz- sitting just above the middle line

My Rocktron Xpression supplied the delay for the lead and a Dunlop Crybaby. I mixed a Shure 57 and Sennheiser e609 over my Bogner Oversized 2x12 into an M-Audio Mobile PRE USB and recorded with N-Track 5 Studio. Maxon OD9 at Gain off and Level set at about 3 o'clock. No post EQ whatsoever. Recorded it with my Schecter Hellraiser with EMG 81.

Anybody know how to translate that to the Mark III world? I know pulling different things does different stuff on each amp. I have the maxon od-9 that might help the sound a lot. Do you leave it on all the time or just for solos? Do you get a lot of feedback with it?

I was just talking to Code001 about why nobody ever mentions Nevermore's Politics of Ecstasy album when people talk about heavy Mark IV tones. That album is all Mark IV and it doesn't get much heavier than that.

I know!! That is 100% my favorite metal tone of all time. So godamn mean and aggressive and just oozes t3h br00taln3ss!!!!

and anyone who says a mesa mark can't do metal, doesn't belong anywhere near a guitar

I left it on for the rhythm guitars only. No boosting for the leads. Only the wah pedal for that. I didn't have any feedback at all.

Tried your settings man! It made me remember why I love my Mark IV :rock:
 
God damn! That is why I've wanted a Mark IV since I was in 3rd Grade! Good work dude!

Wow man, like I said it sounds great, I'm suprised theres no feedback, I get a lot with my III when I boost maybe I need to switch out some preamp tubes.
 
Now that I listened to it, the clip definitely rips! Great job!!
 
Awesome clip!!! I don't understand the mark IV can't do metal argument...
 
Sounds killer, defiantly has that thick & sweet mids going on :thumbsup:
