Looks like the lowest note is F. I never noticed that before.

Hey Jim,
What’s with the shot without a keyboard or cabinet to accommodate one.
Does it have feet on both sides?
Sure looks like a normal unit normal (access panel, swell pedal jack), except for the lack of keys.
Thanks,

Tony,

That headless cab is the Decapatron.

It's simply the lower section design of an M400, with some dimension changes to accommodate the M4000D. (And provides a storage box for my guitar pedals.)

#666 just sits on top.

Thanks Jim,
I thought it might have been the old “Photoshop ploy”.
Great idea, with a cool name.
A “Devil” of a serial number too.
Sorry, I can resist anything but temptation.

Nice setup, Jim.
Do you store equipment and stuff in the base? Or, maybe fine beverages....?
