Metal? Why would you think that ;-).
Specifically, it's the 5153 100w Red Channel, but there are others. Things just seem darker to me with less definition with more spongy lows and woof. I worked with the 5153 tone for quite a while and never could get it to where it was.
@Tone Ranger had mentioned something about "Cygnus not having the dynamic depth and presence controls" which he said he read in the tech notes, but I couldn't find. I was hoping he might be able to share what he did to resolve the issue.
I'm sure I'll adjust, just looking for a little help

Note: I'm running into a Matrix GT800fx through an Orange ppc412hp 400. Fishman Fluence modern pups, mostly on passive voice.
