During retweaking of my presets for V7 (biggest step forward imho) I found something interesting.. I´m using a Matrix GM50 into real cabs but the following applies to the GT1000 as well.
As already pointed on the forum, later Matrix power amps tend to infatuate somewhat the speaker/cabinet resonance frequency curve. The GT800 was flatter in this regard.
I was struggling capturing the feel of my real amps inside the Axe (I have access to almost each amp I´m going to emulate) and found that lowering the LOW and HI RES values on the SPEAKER tab of the amp block got me there. I mean at the point of being unable to discern the model from the real amp!
Try the following:
- set the LOW resonance frequency of your actual cab (normally 5-20Hz higher than the used speaker resonance frequency)
- decrease the LOW RES and HI RES parameters by 3 points, most the Amp models have a low res of 5.00 and an hi res of 5.83 so the tweaked values would be then 2.00 and 2.83
- enjoy the MIDS back on your sound!
