Nope, that's the one thing I don't like about the M-2000.
Oh, and it doesn't have a ground lift on the DI.
two things....

Three things. Shared gain control on the Tube Pre and the Hi-gain setting. It's hard to get a good overdrive without the Tube Pre being too loud, or getting a good clean Tube sound without the Hi-Gain being too soft.
Drat and triple drat. Oh well. Just a wandering thought.
I do really like my newly acquired M-2000 though. I got it in an even trade with a COOL fellow TB'er for my SVT-4Pro. Great sounds all over the place...with our without spending a lot of time on it.
Yeah, I wish there were gains for each channel, but ehh, not a major issue.
Of recently I've been working at getting an overdriven but solid low-end sound. I'm getting there but the lows aren't "solid" enough. I've tried mixing in the FET channel but it just kinda gets louder. Any suggestions?

What I like to do is to use the 7 band eqs on mix mode only. I also set the high gain to kick on automatically in mix mode. I boost the mids on the 7 band on the tube side, and boost the lows a bit on the fet side. Mix to taste. Presto!

I was considering trading/selling my SVT4Pro for one of these also awhile back. Just looking for something different to play with, as I am happy with my Ampeg, just getting bored with the same old.
Can you give quick rundown on the major differences in tone between the two, and any other pros/cons of the trade you made??
Thanks
Ryan
