I played my first live gig with the M4 rig this past weekend - actually two full nights, on Friday and Saturday.
This was a reunion of a rock cover band that I toured with 30+ years ago. We had a full complement of musicians: two keyboard players, two guitarists (me being one), a bass player, drummer,and two singers.
The report I got on the M4 rig is that it cut through the mix like a knife, and had incredible clarity. I used the VX, SL2X, and COD modules in about equal measure. The sound guy mic'ed the Blue Dog (rather than the Silver Bell). The other guitarist was playing through a Vox AC30 and a Fender Blues Junior running into a Marshall 1960 cab. He had a very gutsy stage sound but I am told that it just didn't show up quite as well in the mix. I think one difference is that I didn't have to rely on any overdrive or distortion pedals - just the hot channel of whatever module I needed was ample. Plus the Weber speakers are damned fine sounding.
Speaking of the COD: Lemme tell you guys, if you want a sound that is guaranteed to blast through a mix, this is your go-to module. The midrange character that makes it sound a little weak in your bedroom just loves a live situation and sounds very very strong.
The whole rig worked flawlessly with no hiccups and sounded superb. I'm a happy camper. Thanks to Bruce and company for such a stellar product.

I don't know how else you can get this kind of versatility combined with excellent sound.
