My D18/M80 sounds nice straight into my Loudbox Performer tweaked with the onboard mid-cut and anti-feedback control, however, add in the Boss AD-2and it's wonderfully close to the unplugged sound...they make a great combo!
I used to use a Body Rez with the M80, it was nice in the low end, mid-cut and lite compression, but it thinned out the highs too much...the AD-2 works better with the M80 imo > phat! I set the M80 volume at 5 so if I need a boost I can dial it up via the volume wheel on the pickup.
The Red-Eye is a wonderful preamp matched with certain pickups, but I find certain pickups are more suited to certain preamps to better achieve the specific results your looking for.
