anyone played a carbine or fathom through an avatar b212 neo? Does Mesa "play nice" with Avatar speakers?
Thanks

No, I don't know him. Rats. I really don't have a network having just gotten back into "the swing of things". That means that poor Kirk is my go-to guy when I need something!

Kirk ain't a bad "go-to-guy"....
BTW - Kirk I will call you this week when I have everything together!...
Also, I'll be at the John McLaughlin/Chick Corea show at HOB tomorrow night...anyone else in the DFW area going?
Heh, kind of forgot about it. Its here, works. Only plugged it in the once to test it. I don't have much use for it, and am kind of annoyed with myself for ordering it. I'll post some pics this weekend, I would expect to see it on the block soon.
Hit me with a pm if you are gonna put it up on the block. It sounds like the kind of thing I'm interested in. I'm guessing it is three footswitches with three 1/4 plugs for controlling the back of the amp. If so, I'd assume you can use it to activate the mid-bost/cut settings and/or the mute setting (or any of the other footswitch options on the back)?

- I play it all. Whatever works for the gig. Q+
Take a numberI PMed SmallEq a long time ago regarding that.
guess that makes me "number two"
No, Kirk is a great go to guy! I just feel bad for bugging him with my boring issues.
Kirk - Don't forget to shoot me over your schedule. I'm in Lewisville so I can get over to Grapevine pretty easy (or wherever) when you are playing.

Mmmm...french onion soup and a pastrami sandwich! Deal! No fair claiming I'm always a bother though, I'd probably catch onto that after the first dozen or so times you pulled it.
Does anyone use an M6 with a tube emulator like RBI or VT bass to get tube sounds when desired? I assume the M6 does solid state but not tube sounds....
I played through an M6 & M9 and could not for the life of me get them to even start breaking up like my Walkabout did so well. Yeah, to get the tube sounds you desire you are sure going to need some help.
I don't, but it depends on how much grit you want. The M6 can get some grit, but it won't give you the overdrive of say the BB750. I think what the M6 offers is the quickness that is more like a solid state, but with the tube it is not sterile by any means. I love the tone, quickness, headroom and ease of tone shaping.
Totally agree that it is NOT sterile and boy is it loud. As for grit...well, NIMHO.
would I risk any damage to the m6 if I went from a monitor out on my recording interface into the m6?
The M6 does not even begin to act like say, the Walkabout, or 400+ in terms of "tube content."
It adds fat, beef, and some harmonic content, but if you want grit or overdrive, you're gonna need outboard help.
By nature, the M6 is big, clear, fast, strong...but not gritty.
Even with my hottest active basses, thru the passive input, there's not grit and overdrive...
