Does anyone knows of or has any of the u2 settings on the m13? i am hoping for maybe some pics of the settings to make it easier to understand. all help is appreciated. Also what is a good amp since i pretty much have all the effects in the m13 and i dont really need an amp with a ton of effects but gives a warm clean tone?

Vox Pathifinder is a great sounding amp and the best $100.00 I ever spent. Remarkably warm for a solid state amp.

Other than that, $500.00 will get you a Vox AC15CC. You could upgrade the speaker later to a Celestion Blue and get that much better of a tone. (As has been the case with my AC15CC)

Do you just use that 15W straight out, or do you use the speaker out and plug it into a PA or something?

I've always just been reluctant to use smaller powered amps because I figured if any band I was ever involved in was playing a live show, a bigger amp would be more ideal for stage purposes and for better, fuller sound.

Then again, I know almost nothing about amps.

I got a Pathfinder on your recommendation

Do you use the onboard distortion or have it set at a clean tone and use the M13's distortion effects instead?

ur very talented to be able to play all the instruments, i just bought a drum kit and its fooking harder then guitar i rekon.

Thanks! It's not really harder than guitar, it is pretty much the same. You just have to practise a bit to get good at it.

I run the Pathfinder fairly clean and 'dirty' things up with effects.

Adam Clayton signature bass might be coming closer to it's fruition.

Lovely basses they are, I once played a low-medium Warwick and its warmness and deep sound were amazing, and nevertheless it wasn't excesively soft at all, it had power and punch. Lovely. If I ever play(ed) bass guitar, I'd get a WW for sure

Ah, good that makes it simpler, rather than having to tweak both the M13 and the amp

That's 1/2 the fun of playing guitar.

Wow.

What amp are you using? That tone is simply priceless. I've watched this twice in a row, completely jealous.
