Looks like the lowest note is F. I never noticed that before.

Hey Jim,
What’s with the shot without a keyboard or cabinet to accommodate one.
Does it have feet on both sides?
Sure looks like a normal unit normal (access panel, swell pedal jack), except for the lack of keys.
Thanks,
Tony #510

Tony,

That headless cab is the Decapatron.

It's simply the lower section design of an M400, with some dimension changes to accommodate the M4000D. (And provides a storage box for my guitar pedals.)

#666 just sits on top.

Thanks Jim,
I thought it might have been the old “Photoshop ploy”.
Great idea, with a cool name.
A “Devil” of a serial number too.  
Sorry, I can resist anything but temptation.

Nice setup, Jim.
Do you store equipment and stuff in the base?  Or, maybe fine beverages....?
