Members rho Posted August 26, 2005 Members Share Posted August 26, 2005 Originally posted by J.B. Make sure you do. It's a "Marshall" setting that BrentSP gave me a while back. I posted a clip of the Mark IV with that setting and EVERYBODY thought it was a Marshall. I have a MKIV and a JCM800 2203... I connected both amps to my Recto Cab and dialed the MKIV to sound 99.9% like the SD-1 boosted JCM800... and that is A/B'ing them with a switch instantaneously.... I would be amazed if anyone could hear the difference... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not owned a Marshall in such a long time but i gigged with a JCM800 and a 50 watt PLexi in the 90s, i did lots of shows with them but i wish i had the Boogie all along because it works better for me at low volumes. ALthough i wouldn't mind owning another Marshall someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members yngzaklynch Posted August 26, 2005 Author Members Share Posted August 26, 2005 Originally posted by Shiny_Surface There is a very simple solution to this dilemma that you seem to be purposely circumventing....acquiring a 2nd amp. I can only conclude that you enjoy the cyclical turnover of buying/selling amps repeatedly I do find it more fun than frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bob Savage Posted August 26, 2005 Members Share Posted August 26, 2005 Originally posted by yngzaklynch JMPs don't have loops do they? Or was yours modded? No, no loop. I'm thinking you should get a DSL/TSL, that way you get enough gain and you get Marshall. I played a TSL some years back before I bought my Dual Rectifer, and I was almost ready to buy it, but wanted to give the Rectifier one more chance (the one at GC sounded horrid) by driving to the Hollywood MB store. I ended up with the DR, but that TSL was nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always liked the JCM2000 and therefore very confused when I see other forumites bag on them. Oh well to each their own. It's been awhile since I've played either a TSL or DSL but I think I dug the DSL a bit more. The TSL does however have that VPR feature that might make it better for low volume playing.

Members BOOGIE666 Posted August 26, 2005 Members Share Posted August 26, 2005 I had a TSL-100 the VPR switch is worthless, I love the TSL-100 though, the mark IV is a MUCH better low volume amp especially when you use tweed, class-A, and Triode for 15 watts.

Please post your settings when you do I am hoping you are not using EL34's in the outer slots as I would have to rebias mine to do that since I did the bias mod to my mark IV....

Members euclid Posted August 26, 2005 Members Share Posted August 26, 2005 Originally posted by dughaze I might consider trading my Mark IV for yours if you'll throw in some cash... For my JCM 800?

Been wanting a Mark IV for a long time and just am not into the JCM. If I do this at all it'll be for either a Slash Model or a dsl/tsl + cash. I'm undecided at this point.

Members ratter Posted August 27, 2005 Members Share Posted August 27, 2005 I think the preamp idea is a real good one. You could even use pedals. Maybe something like a ToneBone Hot British? I think the IV's power amp, like most high gain amps, is pretty transparent so this would probably work well. {censored}, get the ToneBone for a Marshall thing. Get a Budda Zenman for a Budda thing, get an ADA mp1 for the spandex thing, etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members yngzaklynch Posted September 1, 2005 Author Members Share Posted September 1, 2005 Still pretty sure I want to trade my Mk IV for a Marshall. Bump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yngzaklynch Posted September 2, 2005 Author Members Share Posted September 2, 2005 Originally posted by yngzaklynch Looking at Marshall or Marshall like amps. A Slash or ZW head would be preferable although for the right deal I will consider a DSL. Amp must have an fx loop.EDIT: One other amp I will consider is a VHT 50CL w/ EQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blackba Posted September 2, 2005 Members Share Posted September 2, 2005 No response from Rho, I guess he may be having more trouble than he thought getting the mark IV to sound like a marshall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members danyeo Posted September 2, 2005 Members Share Posted September 2, 2005 Originally posted by yngzaklynch Still pretty sure I want to trade my Mk IV for a Marshall. Bump. Were you going to trade your IV for a DSL? *cringe* I can see a DSL for sale in 2 weeks if you do that. I played one yesterday. I think it's a cool amp but IMHO a MarkIV is better everywhere.

If somebody put some cash on top I'd proabaly go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
