Really made me love it all that more. For the last three months or so, I've been using my '79 JMP into a 4x12 with a very stripped down pedal board at my normal gig (my church) and really started loving it. The simplicity, the definition, etc. It also made me a better player, learning to use the guitar for tone variety instead of any number of preamp channels and helping me to use less gain to achieve the sound I was looking for.

Last night, I brought my M4 rig back to church, (after a complete re-build and re-wire) and all, I can say is WOW! The time spent away developing my skills with a "simple" rig really helped me get the most out of the M4. I used to have kind of a love-hate relationship with the SL2x, but now, I get it. Same thing (not the love hate, but the "I get it") with the EG5, B(x)Man, and VX. I've discovered a new dimension to the tonal capabilities of this rig. Tweaking the knobs to my new understanding of how much gain a ACTUALLY need, versus what I thought I needed, and my tone is bigger and more alive now than ever.

Thanks again Mr. E! You da man!
 
:rock:

For a second, i was going to call dibs on the m4 :lol: :LOL:

I think it's always a surprise to see how little gain you actually need, I like high gain stuff but find rolling back the gain and turning up the volume is almost always going to make it sound better.
 
What settings are you using with the SLX and your power amp? Just curious what kind of tones your getting with your new settings. Thanks!!!
 
IIRC, my gain on channel A is around 11:00, and around 1:00 on channel B. EQ's are set somewhere around 12:00. Maybe a little less mids, a little more highs, and I'm pretty sure straight up on the lows. Bright switch is set to 1, and Bass boost is flat.
