Thanks.

You've got it - just look at the two packages that say EV on them, because that's all there is. Having the mic stand and guitar help see how absolutely compact it packs down to.

Well, I just got off the phone with ProAudio and shocked my spending-averse self by pulling the trigger on it.

The B-stock 330x (that Fishman replaced my malfunctioning SA220 with last year) had some issues and just got shipped off for repairs. If I like the 30M, when the 330x comes back I'll probably put it up for sale to help ease my conscience about spending what for me is an extravagance!

Hahahahahaaha!

I received my EV 30M yesterday only three days after placing my order for the great deal offered by PreAudioStar. It came in the early evening so I set it up today and gave it a run-through to make sure everything was working.

I left everything flat at first and it sounded great right off the bat. My wife immediately remarked about the fullness the subwoofer's bass adds. I did end up lowering the mids for both guitar and mic and while there's a preset for Guitar, so far I prefer leaving it at the Flat setting.

I also tried out my FetHead inline mic preamp and, despite the phantom power being only 15 amps, it worked just fine.

I don't have a gig where I'd use it until the end of August but that gives me plenty of time to set up some presets for my three guitars. So far, I'm really liking it. It sounds great and, well, it looks cool.
