Mike Burgundy	Re: KittyHawk M1 gainchannel Thanx for the pointer. I don“t like the gain channel(s) much, but I“m sure its possible to do something about this by experimenting. I“ve been planning and pondering this for about a year or two now, but it“ll probably be one more before I get around to it... I don“t agree on the clean channel. Big, bold, rich, blah... To my ears this channel is one big sweetspot, almost no matter what setting. I“m running class A, with 6L6“s (specially biased for these, I don“t recommend using the 6L6/EL34 switch) and a 12AU7 as V1, the rest AX. What are you using? Note; this is not sparkling clean ą la Twin, it“s just on the verge of being raunchy, slightly compressed and very brown, responsive to your playing. I like it that way. I think the hardwood cabinet also has something to do with it.
