First of all, Steve, let me echo the comments of some others before me: This is a cool site! I found it via a referral to someone's inquiry about MM amps on the Fender Discussion Page. Keep it coming with all the great info!


Now, you've got to quit hammering on the SS distortion in these MM amps. I find that if I keep the input volume between about "6" and "8", the overdrive doesn't sound so harsh, and indeed provides a nice "gritty" edge to the signal (while still maintaining reasonable listening levels using the master). Of course, this is all subjective; but I think I play my MM amps more "plugged straight in" than using an external pedal.


I've got a 65-210 and an HD130-212. I love these amps!


Thanks again for the site.
