As you see below I have a pair of Marshall cabs and a pair of passive atomics powered by a Rocktron v300 and SLA1. I find that regardless of which amp I use for power, the Marshall Cabs seem to render effects, particularly delay / reverb in a much more pronounced way than with the Atomics. Through the Marshalls, delay sounds much deeper and louder at a given mix level than with the Atomics even if I compare using the same amp.
Can anyone explain this? I'm comparing the two with the same patch with the Cab at the very end - the Atomics are running from output 1 and the marshalls from output 2 with the effects send split off just before the cab. Everything else is the same.
With the FRFR path to the Atomics (and the KRK monitors as well) time based post amp effects seems to be much more lost in the mix than with the traditional guitar cabs. I've tried switching cabs around in the FRFR path but it does not seem to change this effect. I guess the larger 2x12 marshal cabs would explain some of this but I curious as to why the FRFR path would present these effects that differently (in the patch I'm using the old 4x12 v30s. (soon I'll be able to conduct an interesting experiment and tone match my marshall cab ! (well a mic'd one at least)).
