Ohh you really are a pal, how do I figure if it's legit?

Looked at where she is located, I think shipping would end up being alot more.

There's a killer Mark IV (same amps LoG used) on Harmony Central - but beware traveler! HC is the furthest underbelly forum on the internet and is filled with total newbs and trollfags so be on guard.

Says he's looking for $1450 shipped which given the usual weight of combos, means that its probably around the $1350-$1375 mark for just the amp

A little history on the Mark III amps, by the way Shayla I would stay with the Mark III's, will get you what you want with out the extra crappy crunch channel or the extra cash you will spend on a Mark IV.

Could be, but then again he does state that $1450 is the shipped price so he may just agree to that and take a little bit more of a hit on the amp. Or could add like another $50 to just make it $1500 flat and call it a day.

Yeah I was about to ask. I AM in western Canadiana.

[Shayla]

And what if I wanted the crappy crunch channel? Hehehe are there really too many other differences between the mark III and the ones after it?

[MFB]

The Mark III and the Mark IV are totally different beasts in my opinion. The III is modeled after the IIC+ which was used a lot in the 80's, so therefore the III's also have more of a thrash base since it's modeled after a kind of thrash amp. Although it's more than just that. The III's can be tweaked a good amount, the IV's can be tweaked even further although they tend to have more of a prog metal sound, and I've yet to hear a good demo of the Mark V to say what it can do really well.

Must be a typo. My Rectoverb combo doesn't even way that much.
