If the RM model is like the pedal, the "blend" control really only works on the drive and presence "amp modeling" portion of the unit. The entire tone section (B/T) stays full on no matter what, and even set flat there is a definite mid suck going on. I like the units, but I like to add just how much of them I want, and I like to be able to get rid the very obvious thumbprint they put on the sound no matter where they are set. |

Or a couple of fans in the back of the rack. |

Pop the covers, plug in the power conditioner and it's ready to go. It has beautiful tone, loads of flexibility, and looks good if I do say so myself.

| | | | Nice rack! Good for you for going the whole way and getting a REAL shock-mount rack. The first time it rolls off the back edge of a 4 foot stage and all the gear remains perfect, you'll be happy you popped for the shock-mount rack. Or at least I was when it happened to me.

The rack gets it's first gig this Saturday. I'll have video and will share the Stingray/RBI/400+ goodness
