Looks like they left the voice filter off of it. Wasn't that control marketed as the 'heart' of the Carbine series?
Will still check it out though.... http://www.mesaboogie.com/Product_In...M3Carbine.html |

I played through the single 12 powerhouse cabinet they are pairing it with, and it's a nice sounding little cab. Tried it with an SWR Headlite, very agressive sounding, gets loud without a ton of power. Could be a pretty potent small combo, but not real light if weight is a concern.

+1 on the Walkabout; great sound for a 1x12" combo.
I just bought the M6 Carbine 2x12" combo - it's a hulking beast of a combo amp, and I can feel its sound almost as much as hear it. The M6 sports the contour adjustment and the player control network, as well as the tri-ported cab, yadda, yadda, yadda. I'm just going to avoid stairs from now on...

I still don't get a 13lb 300 watt SS stripped down head......for 800?????? I had hoped to hear some magic tone dust stories by now, but in spite of my love for my Walkabout and M9 I just don't get the M3 product concept. Perhaps if it were under 10 lbs or 500 bucks..... For only a few more rubles the M6 totally outshines it on my radar.
........just my .02, admittedly without having heard it.......any true believers out there?

I found the M6 to have more power than needed and didn't like the voice control (gimmicky is how I would describe it). If I didn't have a setup that i really liked the M3 would be on my short list. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
