Hi Charlesand Everyone,

Dependslargely on the circuitry.  Ken Merbler's MK-II #247
has choir voices, going thru valve-preamps, and Hi-Z heads.
That combinationyields that bright "King Crimson" sound.

And FrankSamagaio's Pindertron MK-II #134 , also has
choir voices.But the preamps within have NO equalization
at all.The Moodies' choice back then. The upper registers
are moresubdued than an M400,and much less than my
MK-I #124"Julia."

Hope thishelps,Charles .   Cheers, -- Jerry Korb
