Que Olivier's voice,, "is it safe"

Hoffman,, "yes it's safe,very safe,So safe......"

Marathon Man is an amazing book and film-for you younguns who haven't had the pleasure....check it out!

fwiw:
M9+12/6/1 seems pretty good.
At least at home.
I may gig that tomorrow....

IME that combination (M9 with LDS 2 or 3 way) is da bomb. Brutal, massive, merciless, precise..........can't wait to hear the post-gig autopsy results......

 

[Chef]

We'll see...

That cab was a fail, for me, with the MBFusion.

Conversely, the TC112 with the MBF is good.

Well, both the LDS and M9 are Big Bottom Girls, so for some it may amount to too much of a good thing. I prefer to trim the lowest slider, boost a tad at 1K and dig in

 

[Chef]

I can't remember for sure, but I think when I left to go back to work, I set:
Voice 2
bass/treble trimmed a but
mids boosted a bit.
GEQ in a frowny face

so, trimming two bands of low bass some.

Comp thres and ratio at 9 oclock

I could be wrong.

Good news everyone!

After a email to Mesa, I received a phone call from our local dealer saying that had spoken with Mesa in the states and have agreed to send me over a brand new M9!

I guess they felt bad after all my previous problems with my V12.
It's great to see the great customer service that you guys in the US get can filter down to us too!

To say the very least I am super happy right now

 

[Chef]

I don't know where you are (not listed) or what your electricity is, but, if you're other than 120 volt, make sure your new amp is.

In on this. Just picked up lomo's. Fell in love with one a few months ago in GC and wanna see if it can oust my GK MB800. Oh and she'll be paired with a Avatar 153. Yeah baybee.

 

[Jim Carr]

Great! Congrats on the new amp! Love to hear more about that pairing!!!

 

[Chef]

lomo sold his M9...again?
What?

 

[husky123]

Sorry didn't mean to dime him out or anything.

 

[Chef]

no shakes to me, just surprising

+1

Wonder what he's using?
I'm going to guess something light weight....

Loved my M9, but don't wanna keep it all. World, keeps on turnin'.......

 

[Chef]

So:
MB800 then.

Not a bad choice.

That's my main head right now too. It's shootout time in Da Burg.

Not a bad choice.

They sound good, loud, small, light. Won't handle 2 ohm loads, though.

 

[Chef]

a lot of heads won't....

 

[Jim Carr]

a lot of heads won't....

True! Yet, that is one of the many things I like about the M9.
