Sound City L.B120 Mark IV preset

Close · 75/100 confidence. Most values readable. Minor gaps filled by inference from similar circuits.

The Sound City LB120 Mark IV was the company's top-of-the-line amplifier, pushing 120 watts through four EL34 power tubes for massive stage presence. Dallas Arbiter built these amps with quality components and Jim Marshall contributed transformer designs, resulting in a head that competes with period Marshall JMPs in tone and build quality. Its relative obscurity compared to Marshall has made it an underground favorite among tone-chasing guitarists.

Known for: David Gilmour.
