[QUOTE="bduersch, post: 7501, member: 66"] Lemme say first that I don't have my M4 yet and I've never played an IE4, but I have owned both an RM4 and TOL100 (which is supposed to be similar to the IE4, right?), so I can make a few comparisons there. Overall, the Vendetta has a bit more gain on tap and a slightly grittier voicing than the TOL100. As such, I think your comparison to the Vox/E-Rect modules would be valid. C1 has a chimey clean tone, C2 is a punchy crunch tone, C3 is a smooth mid-heavy tone (I'd describe it as "brown"), and C4 is a tighter scooped tone. So I've flipped the channels around a bit... while I use C1 for cleans and C2 for crunch, I use C4 for heavy rhythms and C3 for leads. While I liked the TOL100, I've found the Vendetta to be a lot easier to dial in. My previous amp was an H&K Triamp II, and I'd say without reservation that the Vendetta hangs with it at less than half the price. Also, I'd say that the vintage/modern switches impact the high mids more than anything... between those and the bright switches, it's possible to drastically re-voice each pair of channels. Finally, before I forget, there is no half-power switch on the Vendetta, although with channel volume controls and an overall master volume it's pretty easy to dial down. If you really wanted to do true half power, it would be safe to pull a pair of power tubes to cut it from 100w to 50w. --B [/QUOTE]
