That was a very good and informative explanation, John.
Now what can I do with with my m400's and Lexicon MX100 reverb to get a similar sound?
Cheers,
Dan

The M400 WME preamps definately sound brighter and the line amp is a diferent design as well. Also on the M300 by turning the main leads volume completely down and the reverb level control up you hear just the signal going through the reverb which is the Galadriel sound. If you increase the leads volume on the front panel to mix in with the reverb but them back off the footpedal you get the same effect - so on Galadriel you hear Woolly playing initially just through the spring line but then just before the verse he brings the footpedal and you hear the dry signal coming in to the mix.
