Hi,

I'm looking at an OTS FM.  I'm trying to figure out if that's the one I want, or if the FM MEM is the right one, and I'm not sure how to evaluate the one against the other.

Generally speaking, I'm looking for a good fendery (having given up on my dream voxy) clean sound, together with the classic Robben Ford tone.  I'm aware that the FM supposed is as close to Robben's first D-amp as can be.

If I understand correctly, the MEM consists of several smallish changes in the circuit.  It's not clear if they're all switchable or not (by which I mean to ask: is the FM MEM the same as the FM but with several options that can be switched in?)

Overall, I understand the MEM reduces the high end of the amp.  However, I also understand that the C-lator (which I would also purchase) does the same thing, so would I have any reason to get both?

I fear I'm not being very clear here, but I hope the dilemma comes across.  Any advice or helpful direction would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!

Just to be clear, you went with the FM50 without the Modern Eagle Mod?

Great, thanks.  I'm hearing no compelling reason to go with the MEM.
