^ I'm sorry I don't really have the expertise to hear it off the bat. I'd need an A/B comparison of the EQ in the loop, and then not there.
I'm thinking a parametric should do me. Mono. Until I get it, I can just use the EQ on my millennia to get what I need.
Btw, I just took the amp to a store and tried it alongside a JVM into a 1960A cab. The Hector was cool and vanilla... pretty boring and uninspiring in person, and the JVM just souded way deeper and more exciting. It's funny though, because you can hear those mid characteristics of the JVM which would make it fight for vocal space, whereas the Hector is just subdued... it's not particularly impressive by itself because it's waiting for the mix to fill it up. Very very interesting amp.
Also, the JVM hates EMGs, whereas the Hector seems to love them.
