Congratulations on your choice of the M6 Carbine and welcome to the Mesa/Boogie Family!
First we would like to thank you for choosing us as your amplifier company and trusting us to help create your musical voice. This
is something we never take for granted and you’ll find that we are here ready to assist you should you ever need help. Our goal is
to help you sound your best at all times! We feel confident that your new amplifier will bring you many years of reliable service and
rewarding inspiration and create for you a newfound freedom to express through your music.
The M6 Carbine expands the MESA Family of Bass amplifiers with an exciting new voice that’s super fast and extremely focused!
The output section relies on the same time-proven array of custom designed mosfets used in our M-Pulse, Big Block 750 and Titan
models, but the preamp and driver section are all new creating a very different feel and attitude.
First a PASSIVE/ACTIVE switch determines the preamp Input sensitivity and ensures you will have the headroom you need. Up
front the tube preamp utilizes a standard tone control string of Bass, Mid and Treble to shape the basic sound, but the shaping power
doesn’t stop there. There is a PULL DEEP feature found on the Bass control that keeps the low end tight and articulate when pushed
in or, enhances the sub-lows and adds super-top air when pulled out.
The M6 Carbine also features a new VOICE control for instant access to global character changes. Here you’ll find four iconic and
distinctively different sounds and a bypass on a 5 position rotary pot that graphically shows you the EQ curve for each. To the left,
positions 1 and 2 dip the midrange in two different places giving you two amazing choices for classic round, warm R & B sounds.
Turning right past the 12:00 noon FLAT position unveils two variations on the mid-bump theme. Positions 4 & 5 boost adjacent mid
regions to create two powerful mid focused sounds that push articulate fingerstyle playing to the forefront of any mix or add the tight
drive to Rock. Great Tone doesn’t get any simpler!
