That's why I did change from factory settings - a little too much mids for my taste. To each his own.

When you say "factory settings", are you talking about "Original (9V)" or "New (18V) settings?"

I agree: To each his own. As long as you are happy with the tone and it's cutting through the mix.

I changed from "new 18 vlt settings" and yes it cuts through the mix with warmth and lows! It sits in it own sonic space and I am happy!

Hi, I've changed my dip settings to,.. now set the low to highest, midrange to lowest(normal) and did not change the high. I'm going to try this for a while and see what happens. I think the low is now more efficient...
