Sire m2

[Delamitri79]

Lads & ladies, honest opinions on the sire m2. 

 

Specifically the pickups and preamp. I'm looking for hot output.

Isn’t it the same preamp and pickups as the M7?

 

… in which case, I would say (based on my M7) in passive mode they give a good account of all the harmonics in a note; but switch to active and they can really pack a punch.

 

OTOH, I was comparing my M7 with a G&L SB-2 Tribute through headphones yesterday, and couldn’t believe how much hotter the G&L pickups are.

 

However, I feel I have more control and a greater range of sounds with the M7.  And effects pedals do what they’re sposed to. With the G&L, I was turning gain knobs down throughout  my chain to keep it steady.
