I'm thinking of calling Jeff tomorrow to order an M4 with one module. I'm only getting one at the moment because I really don't know enough about them to decide on 4. So, if you could only have one module, in the high gain department, what would it be?

I currently have a Mesa Road King II, Mesa Studio Preamp, Mesa 50/50 power amp and Carvin Legacy head. For the time being, I'd run the M4 through the Mesa 50/50 into a Mesa 4x12 traditional.

Thanks.

I'm going to agree with this..great tones on both channels from..killer rhythm on EG3....nice smooth leads on /4 but if that's not enough gain for ya...EG5 :rock:

..bear in mind I haven't heard an SL2 though :D
 
Thanks for the input guys. Is the EG5 OK on both channels? I mean is it EQ'd such that you can dial in two good tones with the shared tone controls?

What about the MHG or this new updated COD?

I would just get the 5 channel SL2EG345 module. Its my favorite :D
 
So far 3 votes for SL2, 2 for the EG3/4, 1 for the EG5 and 1 for the Erect.

Keep it going.

BTW, would you all agree that the SL2 is closest to the "brown" sound?
 
SL2 is versatile, brown and smooth. sounds buttery sweet at higher volumes.


BUT, I can play lay it down 50 times in a row on the EG5.

my vote: EG5

Another vote for EG 3/4 especially if you want brown sound. IMO the B channel of the 3/4 is the best for soloing; sweet harmonic overtones, perfect mid voicing. My only concern in recommending that module for you is that you’re using it in an M4 opposed to a MOD50; Eric (aeroic) was just saying in another thread that he didn’t like it in his M4 but loved it in the MOD50 and it seems like I’ve read that before.

If you’re a youngling high gain freak you might prefer the EG5, I find it buzzy on the top end. If you’re down tuning, I still like the E’rect for that. If you love Marshall tones the SL2 is it. If you love Marshall tones but find yourself searching for something else at times, the EG3/4 is the grail.
 
As much as I also love SL2, Im going with EG5. Its always better to have more and be able to back it off IMO. EG5 does great tones when full on balls but also when you back the guitar's volume and/or gain back. Very versatile for a high gainer.

:D :lol: :LOL: LOL!

I'm a 42 year old father of 3. I'm looking to add something that I don't have to my current amps, which as I said are a Mesa Road King II, Studio Pre and Carvin Legacy. At least for my first module.

I guess that would be whatever module is decidedly "Egnater" whatever that might be, or say a Bogner tone, or SLO or Marshall. I don't think I can cover those sounds with the gear I have right now. Unless someone thinks the Erect for example is so different than a Mesa Rectifier, etc.

Thanks for all the info.

Just to make Jeff laugh a little ...

You forgot to add the Boogie MKII 5 band EQ to that 5 channel mod, it's a MUST HAVE!!!!!!!!!!

It has 8 tubes in it I think right?

:lol: :LOL:
