Mesa/Boogie M 2000 owner manual Overview

OVERVIEW

For ease of understanding the M-2000and to reduce the intimidation factor that one might experience upon first glance, it should be noted that the unit may be digested one channel at a time. The only shared controls on the entire front panel are the MIX control and the Output Level control. Thinking of the M-2000as two completely separate pre-amplifiers - sharing one common power section, may help you to understand it at a faster rate.
