How's that LXII sounding??
Any updates, people? If recording clips is a pain, perhaps you could simply post some written impressions? Would love to know how these sound and feel relative to some of the more popular PAs around here, such as Matrix.
@MNG Thanks for the in-depth review. I saw a few forum posts where people said they had ordered, or recieved their LXII but then no reviews, so I was starting to wonder if it was a dud after all this time.
I assume you’re running it in FRFR mode and not using the ‘enhance’? Do you set the impedence curve in the axe FX iii flat?
Did you also try to take the speaker impedance curve completely out of the picture? As a tube amp the LX Is already interacting with the guitar speaker(s) regarding impedance and resonance, so there isn’t really a need for simulation on the modeler’s side.
Quick check in. I finally got to fire up my LXII last night after owning it a month (I've been wiring a patch bay in the studio the previous month). Anyway I don't have a wow moment yet because I did not get a chance to really crank it. My first impression though is positive after trying it though both my Marshall 4X10 cab and new to me 1964 Vox JMI 2X10 cab. I wired both cabs in stereo and love it with the LXII. I still have my old PS2 and loved it but it was mono and I did not want to rack two of them. My Marshall and Vox amp settings translated very well and gives me that feel I like about tube amps. It will take some tweaking but I plan to keep the LXII for sure.
My only initial gripe is the fan. Wow it's loud but probably no louder than any other power amp I have used. Not really acceptable for studio use but that does not matter to me because this will mostly be used for live.
@79_limited ... Would be interested to know this as well.... Thanksfrom A sound POV was it the same as the ps2? Notice any difference?
Great, and thanks... Looking forward to the comparisonI have my first jam with it Sunday so I will report back more.
I got to play with it a bit more just at low levels. I still really like it. I would say it’s still right on par with my PS2 and Atomic 50/50 amp. The fan is still louder than the Atomic but I’ll take that over the 1U and weight any day.
if it helps I’ll do a video soon of the PS2 vs LXII. I’ll also play the same patch through my Accugroove FRFR’s just for comparison since not many videos exist on these and questions pop up.
One other observation on the LXII is the build quality is superb. The build material is extremely rugged.
My only initial gripe is the fan. Wow it's loud but probably no louder than any other power amp I have used. Not really acceptable for studio use but that does not matter to me because this will mostly be used for live.
Removing the fan would be very unwise I'd say.
It's a decent power rated amp .... play it loud enough to come to life and you won't hear the fan!
