The M-16 Supersonic is a vintage Rickenbacker tube combo with four 10-inch speakers. Four inputs feed two 12AX7 input pairs, each pair with its own volume control, into a shared 12AX7 gain stage with treble and bass controls and a Brilliant switch. A 12AU7 driver and phase inverter push a pair of 6L6GCs in push-pull from a GZ34 rectifier, a layout much like the 4×10 tweed Bassman's.
