In my opinion, there is more variation between each Matrix6/6r/1000 unit, than the unit models themselves. Each of my Matrix-1000s sound slightly different, but it's pretty subtle. I take advantage of it by using two of them with the same patch for stereo effect. It's quite dramatic. -pc

So I guess maybe I should sell the 6R and get two 1000s instead... I must say I'm surprised this is the more attractive option. Is the sound really that different Everyone seems very happy with their 1000s... so I'm guessing I won't be disappointed with the switch.
