I just picked up a MarkUs module and, as a long time Mesa Mark-series player, I must say that it's pretty d@#$ close. So having grown up on Mesas, I've got a few questions about the module just to make sure I'm thinking about the controls the right way...
1) Assuming the EQ switch is off when in the up position and engaged when in the down position?
2) Assuming, since they're unlabeled, the three tone controls are in the standard Randall order (bass-mid-treble), not the standard Mark-series order (treble-bass-mid)?
3) Assuming, like a later Mark-series amp, it's tone-stack->gain->lead drive from a circuit standpoint?
4) Finally, what is the "shift" switch technically supposed to do?
Thanks for any help... I just keep looking at the module and thinking of all the knobs/switches on my old Mark IV, and want to make sure I'm dialing it in right.
