Duke, earlier you said ‘Elvis face’ for graphic settings (as opposed to smiley face).
How does that look ?

I do at gigs a lot, especially on upright. But even on electric, it adds a gain stage that I find really nice. More aggressive sounding, even if you don’t touch the eq’s. It’s not even slightly tricky to use though.
What I really like about the M6 and M9 is the voicing filter. Besides the graphic and onboard compressor on the M9, that 5 position filter is the secret sauce of those amps.
This is more how I envision it.
And with added Birdiness....
And a visitor.
Bit dark, We are having ‘a soft day’ today.

I tend to boost lows without cutting mids

Totally! Seriously nice sounding amps if you like it a bit on the aggressive side

Every amp is different, but yeah, very close! Boost lows, leave mids alone, cut extreme treble
Thanks, not really scientific but in the same general direction as my train of thought -- the significant difference is not valve vs solid state, but A/B vs D.
Very nice Geoff.
Have you tried running a patch lead from the second socket on CH1 to CH2 and winding up both volumes?

It was off for the a/b in an attempt to keep the playing field level
For sure...also, a valid question though would be; once you add drums and guitars, how much difference would you notice with some of these characteristics? Not really arguing any point...I like all of my amps, but this little a/b makes me want to take the M9 to my Eskimo Brothers gig tonight

That sounds fun!

Take the M800 just in case...

The M9 has been acting wonky...I think it’s a power supply thing...D800 gets the call tonight
A fair question, although we'd both agree harmonic richness and heft are never bad things to have. Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it. Ultimately you can run a DI out pre EQ if you really want to clean it all up.
You're not doing a good job of selling me on the merits of an M6 down the track...
9:30 and you haven't left for the job yet? How late do you start these things? Further proof that I'm woefully inadequate to be a full time musician.
Hi Kat, no not yet... I have a hole in my memory when trying to remember which is which with the two channels and with the two inputs in each. It just doesn’t stick.
Fortunately I have it all written down ... somewhere!
