Best power amp for Axe Fx Ultra to use with a 4x12 cab

I used an ART sla2 with a carvin 412 and had great success with it. Some say It doesnt sound quite as good as a matrix sstate amp but its loud as hell and never failed me. and about half the cost or less. Its a class A/B amp which is what everyone always said is the better type. I also have...

What made you decide to go Axe FX?

I had quit playing guitar for almost 10 years and i was getting the itch to play again for fun and i bought back my old ibanez from my brother in law. After playing that thru a crate practice amp for a month or 2 I wanted to try one of those new modelers that "does it all". I tried the line 6...

FRFR sounds terrible to my ears compared to poweramp/cab. What am I doing wrong?

I used 2 stock cab ir's and blended them. One was an ultra quality and the other a high quality one and i had one with a tiny bit of delay on it like Cliff mentioned in one of his posts a while back and it sounds really good to me. I have my axe running to a 412 and and a powered monitor and...

Beer spill on my MFC

I saw a video once where some musician would wrap his mfc with whole bunch of layers of kitchen plastic wrap. You could still see the patch names and numbers and lights. This would give a little protection from accidents like this.

Running two Axe FXs on one poweramp

I was wondering the same, I have an axe fx2 and an ultra. I have a carvin 1540l and I was wondering if I could send a mono signal from each axefx to each channel and then send each channel to a 412. I didn't try it because I was afraid of damaging something.

Crown Class AB power amps?

I use the DCM1540l and it is a lot more then I need running into a 412. Its very powerful and very light. I got mine on ebay from a studio going out of business and they were getting rid of all their poweramps. Before I had the carvin I used a art sla2 which was good for playing with the...

Axe fx ultra vs Axe fx 2

I have both and I think you'll be happier saving for the II. The ultra is a great unit but the II sounds better and more realistic. The II is constantly getting firmware updates and new amps and also offers the tone match capability and the usb connectivity.

can't decide between jackson and ibanez

I got my Adrian smith sdx off craigslist for $300. I have an Ibanez '89 rg570 and a rg2570 prestige and they are really nice but I always pick the Jackson over them to play. I blocked the floyd rose so it only goes down and I put on a D-tuna and I love it. I think it comes new with 9guage...

For new guys. FRFR vs real cabs - what to buy?

I started out the opposite way. I had 2 412s and bought a power amp and ran the axefx thru that and was really happy with the sound for a couple of years. Then the band I was in decided it was time to buy some floor monitors and each member was responsible for their own monitor so I bought a...
