Wow, small world, I'm also a Cyber-Twin owner, have the first
edition. Love the Super Reverb emulator.
Interesting question on the B212A, how quiet can you get before they
cut out. The Cyber-Twin on Super Reverb setting seems to only kick in
when you get past 2.5 or so on the master volume, which is a bit loud
for an apartment. Wondering if you get a bit better volume control
with your mixer and speakers.
Also, what kind of mixer do you have?
Thanks for the info,
David
