Anybody use one these?
Is it suited for steel guitar?
Does it have a wall wart or built in transformer?
Does the term "dual engine" mean two channels? |

| Brad Sarno speaks highly of them. Do a search here on the forum. |

| Mike I have one and it is really great for Steel ...it does not use a wall-wart but has a universal power supply that will self-seek 110-230v - perfect. The two engines means you can set up a reverb on one, and a delay or any other effect on the other engine and chain them together. It has a preset facility as well but you can tweak the settings on the fly as well. Very useful piece of kit. |

I love the M300. It's a very simple, two-effect (2-engine) unit. You can store 99 presets. All the controls are on knobs with no submenus or deep programming. It has many of the excellent TC Electronic reverb and delay algorithms. They're very cheap too. Keep in mind that it's a line-level device and needs to be run in either a line-level effects loop or between line level devices. You can't simply plug your steel guitar into it and expect it to work well for you. I think it rivals or exceeds the sound quality of some Lexicon units that are triple the price, at least for use with steel guitar.

The m300 is discontinued..you would have to find a used one.I just got the new M350 which is the same unit but is advertised to have 15 new reverbs and is AU/VST compatible for computer use.Plus no wallwart... for under $2oo new.
I think it sounds real good but is a little noisy through the loop. It is a line level processor as Brad stated.

| If it's noisy going through an "instrument level" effects loop, such as the one on the Nashville 400 or the pre EQ in the Nashville 1000/112 that is normal since it's a "line level" unit. If you have a Nashville 1000 or 112, use the Post EQ loop which is a higher level and it should work OK there. I have a TC Electronic G-Force and it works OK int he post EQ loop. (or you could loop it between the preamp out and power amp in which is "line level". |
