Mesa M9 mega thread

Anyone using an M9(or M6) with GK Neo cabs? As for this hiss, I'm not sure I ever noticed it and I've been gigging with it on the road steadily for 7 months now. It certainly doesn't bother my band mates or sound men.

I can say this:
The M9' two lower bands of graphic eq do solve the M6's sometimes too big bass issue I have sometimes.

Also: the M9 makes a decent enough DB amp...I might like the Walkabout better, but I need to a/b them at a job sometime...

I LOVE my M9. It is so damn loud and has head room for days.
It's quick, punchy and articulate. I haven't even begun to experiment with the graphic EQ or the compressor yet. The amp is just a monster.
It actually sounds quite a bit bigger, phatter and punchier than the M6 IMHO.

I typically play my M9 through 1 Berg HS410 cab and it kills. But with 2 HS410 cabs it is just friggin ridiculous! Sort of like a freight train coming down the tracks. I wish I had bigger venue gigs to use both cabs.

Think I've commented on this rig before.
It is just insanely cool!
Hope you have some d&mn-good earplugs!

Just got an M9 with a PowerHouse 8X10. I love standing in front of it and just bask in the mass volume.:D

Yes, the M-9 is quite wonderful. I am currently running it through a 4/10 ampeg classic, which is louder and oddly lighter than my monster swr workingmans I've had in battle for many many tours of duty. Once one of the speakers blew and my old faithful trace elliot had some blown output jacks, (which are surprisingly hard to find) I decided to save up and get this. So, I am still trying to find the sweet spots with the rig. All power issues aside, it is a monster, even through 4 / 10s. I find the i have been using the #5 setting which seems to annoy sound guys everywhere. I play in a worldbeat/ reggae/rock band which requires a tremendous amount of bottom, so maybe the 4/10s are not the best idea. I really like the 2 15 set up someone posted an image of. WOW.
I may try lowering all my lows to achieve a better stage sound. ( I don't like the sound of that for the record)
Does anyone else have issues with loud drummers? I can use the power of M-9 to quash him, but then I sacrifice our stage sound. (10 piece band) Any EQ ideas so I can keep a great tone, and still have enough volume to lay it down?
Thanks

Yeah it was pretty disappointing, mostly because it sounded great up until it's untimely death.

I'm sure I'll get another down the road. They seem to be hard to come by right now, I think Mesa is having trouble keeping up with the orders for them.

I had to send mine in after 1 month of use. Preamp and DI worked fine but nothing to the cab. got it back fairly quickly and with some updates, I forget what was wrong off the top of my head something came loose and broke off nothing major they said. Had it back now for 5 months and still going strong.
