Members Neilrocks25 Posted March 29, 2011 Members Share Posted March 29, 2011 Everything you're saying here leads me to advise you not to get a digital modeler. Have you used the Axe-Fx I am guessing no. OP The snax comes close very close, is this for gigging or home use + recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initially it would be for home / recording. I have a house in the boonies so I can be reasonably loud. Plus my wife likes teh getarz. If the Snax felt / sounded right id Gig it for sure. Since it can run dual amps and im the only guitarist in the band I could do 2 cabs on each side of the stage with 2 dif amps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members flump Posted March 29, 2011 Members Share Posted March 29, 2011 Don't know if you have answered this but are you going to be running the snax through a PA or through a tube power amp or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members benjamin801 Posted March 29, 2011 Members Share Posted March 29, 2011 Have you used the Axe-Fx I am guessing no. I have not used the Axe-FX. I have, however, used each of the last three or four generations of modeling amps, seen them die by the wayside, and while this one may be "the one" that provides a viable alternative to tube amps, I won't hold my breath waiting to see. Meanwhile, the Mark IV has been an industry standard for 20 years now, and its resale value has been remarkably consistent over that time, even with the subsequent releases of the Rectos, Road Kings, and Mark V. BTW, don't get me wrong; samhill's snax videos sound amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not 100% there on that aspect. part of me says Tube power....but the SLA2 seems like its got more than enough oomph to keep me at band volumes with out that nasty SS clipping. and to have arig thats 100lbs rather than 230 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members THEE HAMMER Posted March 29, 2011 Members Share Posted March 29, 2011 Snax for {censored}s and giggles. Mark4 if you are gonna keep it long term. Amazing clean, crunch, and one of the most distinct lead channels of any amp for better or worse. Depends on your tastes really. Hell there's a Mrak 5 locally for 1500 so .....

Members Rameumptom Posted March 29, 2011 Members Share Posted March 29, 2011 br00tz in spades. the mark iv is one of my favorite amps. I would put it in a close second to my d60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NixerX Posted March 29, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 29, 2011 Ejendres, we're over lol.... Did you ever own the snax? Dose the IV have some kinda attenuation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members benjamin801 Posted March 29, 2011 Members Share Posted March 29, 2011 Dose the IV have some kinda attenuation? Not attenuation per se, but several power options that can drop it to less than half power if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Holy-diver Posted March 29, 2011 Members Share Posted March 29, 2011 I haven't owned the snax. The marks I wouldn't call dry though, you can dial it dry or compressed, the feel is all up to the pre gain controls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rameumptom Posted March 29, 2011 Members Share Posted March 29, 2011 the IV sounds good at lower and higher volumes. One of the things I don't like about mine is how heavy it is. I'm tired of packing around heavy ass gear which is a motivating factor in wanting to go with a snax or 11 rack one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ej Posted March 29, 2011 Members Share Posted March 29, 2011 I can tell... how long did you have it for? You know I run a Splawn right....talk about dry...and tight. I like it like that lol....uh..amps only. It was definitely tight and dry, which I normally like too... It just didn't work for me. I got INSANE lead tone though... seriously though, it was amazing. Had it for a week, spent a lot of time with it. Just could not get rhythm tones that worked for me. So I sold it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lead tones are incredible. One of the main reasons I dig the amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Holy-diver Posted March 29, 2011 Members Share Posted March 29, 2011 Mark leads are very special imo, once you rip out some leads with a mark in a band zone, love will happen. Guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members facefirst Posted March 29, 2011 Members Share Posted March 29, 2011 If it was me I'd probably go , because they both might as well be the space shuttle to me, so I might as well learn the one that doesn't have shared tone controls for its channels. Yeah, the shared Mid and Bass controls on the R1 and R2 channel make the amp sound like ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rameumptom Posted March 29, 2011 Members Share Posted March 29, 2011 Yeah, the shared Mid and Bass controls on the R1 and R2 channel make the amp sound like ass. lately the r2 has been killing it for me with the ts-9 boost! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
