Any Two Notes CAB M+ fans?

[Spaced Out Ace]

Any fans of the Two Notes CAB M+? Any tips or tricks? What're your favorite cab sims? How are you using it? What gain (OD, distortion, fuzz, etc) pedals are you using with it? Stuff like that.

I got all of the ENGL cabs before the most recent pack, which are pretty good. I've been using the ones with the Eminence DV77 and Hesu speakers mostly. I use them with the bass preamp (which is apparently based on one of the channels from the SF Bassman) and use various different pedals (currently using a Deucetone Rat and Queen of Crow KOT clone). I have it set to 0db (rather than the -24db and +12db or whatever they are) as I feel this gets me the best sound.

Anyways, curious what the rest of you have to say.

Im a fan of the brand and have at least half of their DynIRs and a Reload. I never had a need for the CAB M as I dont play physical amps live.

I had it paired with my Quad Cortex back when I had it as I preferred the Torpedo cabs. It was a great little device although the onboard UI was rough

Neither do I, but it's a great pedalboard pre/poweramp/cab sim.

The computer app is great, but unfortunately, the mobile app seems to be pretty much trash. At least for Android devices.

Yes, loving it! :)

I'm using an attenuator with most of my amps, feeding its line-out directly into the Cab M+.

It's awesome for headphone playing, can be recorded into an interface right away, and will definitely make any sane FOH tech appreciate the easy solution.

Loving my CAB M+, though I'm afraid that's 100% true.

As long as it stays connected, the Android app is great, but there's some radically "disruptive" connectivity issues that I can't seem to get rid of - which makes me assume they're caused by the app itself, rather than by the phone used.

Got one of these (Cab M+) for Christmas... loving it. So far the iOS app works extremely well for me. Although I have used it about half and half computer vs iOS.

First thing I did was back up the device and then wipe all the factory presets and then created a bunch of simple ones with only a Cab and reverb for use with an amp. Was expecting good things based on prior experience with the Captor X.

Btw, how are you folks connecting these with an attenuator?

I found that amp -> attenuator line out -> CAB M gives me (subjectively) "better" results than using the CAB M between amp and attenuator.

I did not experiment with it too much but mine is setup the reverse. I was getting a hum with the line out from the attenuator to the CAB M+ it may have been due to a cable or something.

Thanks for the reply! :)

That's interesting. I've used mine with a Fender "Evil" Twin and an Ampeg VT-22.

The latter does hum slightly, when on its own, but does not when using the attenuator and CAB M, which makes me clueless about the source of the hum - it's not too audible when playing, though. Kinda sounds like a fridge at night, fwiw.

I was under the impression both amps sounded better to my ears with the signal "properly" attenuated and fed into the CAB M afterwards, thus shunning the CAB M's headroom.

The VT-22 has quite the hefty signal, after all.
