M-2 model
I just spent some time mucking around with the M-2 amp model, A/B-ing it with Petrucci's videos on how to dial in the Mesa Mark V. I know they're not the same amp, but they sound pretty damn similar, both in tone and behavior.
I'm curious about the 'Volume' versus the 'Drive' parameters. It's obvious that these two control the preamp/gain, but what do they actually control? Hoping to get some feedback from the Avid guys...thanks!
Edit: I pulled up some pics of the Mark II, looks like there is indeed a Lead Drive knob along with the Volume. Are they controls for different gain stages? They definitely have their own sound/gain structure/texture.
