| I used the Mark IV for a few years, and it is a fine all-around amp. However, don't be mislead if you are looking for the classic rectifier sound that you hear on so many of the grunge and neo-metal stuff these days. The Mark series are all fairly limited in the heavy area. They get a great giant crunch sound, but it is NOT the dual rec sound that many have come to associate with Mesa.
If you really want an All-Around rig that has all the Mark series sounds AND the rectifier sounds, check out the Mesa Triaxis preamp with the Stereo 2/90 power amp (mentioned above), rack system, and a 4x12 celestion cab, slant top. That is the rig I have now used for the past 6 years or so, and it is astonishing and can always produce pretty much any sound I or my clients need.
