Monique arrived this morning And I‘ve been totally nerding out. I have a practice nook at the in-laws and usually have several amps there. My regular practice rig there recently has been a Darkglass e500 and. Phil Jones C2 cab. There’s also a GK MB200 head and an ancient MB150 combo that just returned from a service call.
Monique seems to prefer the GKs to the Darkglass. I had to go into the front I plug of the MB200 , but on the other two I used the effect return path and bypassed the tone stacks altogether.
And then got home and plugged Monique into the Berg stuff I’d usually gig with.
Wow! Bypassed the tone stack on the Forte , my nerd was losing it.
Very subtle , and yet very present. There is magic in that sensitivity knob all right. I was using my Jr and HiFlier for the first tests , the Jr has some slightly warmed up rounds , the Hi Flier has chrome flats.
Today is Blue Monday.
Very grey day , rain here in Halifax. The lawns are still green.
And I’m really digging Monique.
