i never hear anything on this module. i just got one with a tighter bass cap and it totally rules. i think i like much better than my 1086. it also has nice usable mids as i find that some modules mids aren't so good sounding. it has a very tight ,chunky sound that is clear and down right mean . if your into heavy metal i'd check one out. btw , without the tighter bass cap it sounds like a slightly better recto, but with the mod its totally different, but a modded recto doesn't sound like a modded modern, if that makes any sense. just my take on it
