Matrix NL212 Vs Port City 212 OS

Hey Moshermax! I haven't ever played through a Port City, but I own the Matrix NL212 cab and I'll be honest in saying that it's working extremely well for me. When I switched over the AFX, partially to downsize my rig and save weight, I figured I should also try and save weight in my cabs as...

Matrix NL cabs

Congrats on your new NL purchase. I'm sure you'll love them. Yeah, it all depends on the power amp and how much you have to power that cab. I'm using my NL212 cab with a Matrix GT1000FX and have plenty of power with that. I'm also a fan on playing at lower volumes rather than cranking some...

Matrix vs Tube power amp

Like many of the players chiming in here, I have tried many different options when it comes to my rig. I've always been a tube guy and the "magic" it offers to my tone. However, for me, the trade off when going to SS was the maintenance and weight savings. While there are the tone aficionados...

Buying new FRFR for myself for Xmas. Plz help me decide

Personally, I only have experience with the Matrix and Xitone cabs. I feel the Xitone is a great cab... solidly built, great customer service, and one to definitely take a close look at when deciding on what you'd like. However, I think I'm just one of those guys that never really caught on to...

New Mastermind GT22 in the house...a couple questions...

Great looking controller!! I have the GT16 and love it. They're so powerful and offer endless settings, choices and programming ability. RJM rocks when it comes to their level of gear. Have fun with your new toy.

Axe fx 2 and wireless units front vs rear input

That's a great idea! I'll have to try that, as I run the G90 and would like the option of swapping without having to change anything in my settings.

What are you all filling your preset slots with since scenes became a part of the AxeFX?

It's good to hear how you guys are approaching your presets since I'm trying to experiment with how I want my MIDI controller setup (RJM MMGT 16). It used to be that I had different presets for each and every tone. Then I tried using it in a "song" mode where I would have different buttons for...

What are you all filling your preset slots with since scenes became a part of the AxeFX?

Hey all! So, I was just going through and updating some of my scenes when I noticed... Since scenes became a part of the AxeFX, I have literally like 3 presets (which with scenes translates to like 24 different tones/sounds/etc.). I don't need to use a different preset number for every patch...

Amp block question

Hello all! Happy Turkey Day to everyone in Fractal Land. So, I just updated my FW to the new Q1.3 and while I was going through and exploring some of the new changes and tones, I noticed that whenever I use the "authentic" setting, compared to "off" or "ideal", the volume drops significantly...

Don't take it for granted!!

Always great words to live by. I have had my share of back issues that I have gotten pretty much under control through chiropractic care and a lot of traction, strengthening, etc. I also have been suffering from carpal tunnel recently since starting a new job that is quire demanding on my...

Output level knob confusion?

I'm also curious on this topic. I'm running the AFX to a Matrix 1000 amp. I generally would always have my AFX output knobs turned fully clockwise and would adjust volume via the Matrix A/B channels. However, I have had people comment on how I should never have my AFX output cranked and also...
