thoughts on speakers when using the Axe as virtual guitar rig

To survive and thrive without going bonkers in full modeling/simulation land you may well want to create two head-spaces for yourself. Guitarist head-space: This head-space involves using everything you know about traditional guitar rigs. This thinking is only used to build the virtual rig...

Atomic Active Cab vs. Matrix Q12a

A dedicated FRFR sound reinforcement system should not impart "feel" or create "response" in a guitar cabinet way. It should be as transparent as possible. To the degree possible, within the limits of loudspeaker design, an FRFR system should just accurately reproduce and amplify what it is...

Atomic Active Cab vs. Matrix Q12a

That's right. If the Matrix is designed to over or under emphasize certain guitar-specific frequencies, then using it would take up some learning curve slack for a new user. Using a "biased" FRFR solution with the Axe causes a host of other problems though: ~You will never hear what the Axe is...

Matrix GT1000/Q12 vs Atomic CLR Active Cab Comparison

Matrix GT1000/Q12 vs Atomic CLR Active Cab Comparison

FWIW, I am a clean tone guy as well with about thirty years of professional gigging behind me, mostly in jazz and jazz-rock settings. You stated: "I do not go through FOH (maybe I will in the future) but for now -- I am completely old school/meat and potatoes -- stand in the corner of the bar...

I will be attending seminary for the next four years. To take the utmost advantage of the learning experience I have committed to being on campus year ‘round. I have quit my job and to fit my life into a 12’ x 12’ dorm room I have divested myself of the majority of my possessions. To raise the...

live music: The Incestet 1/1/12 - YouTube I'm having a lot more fun now. That's me and my good friend Matt playing with our twenty year old drummer friend Yeager. I just wish I didn't look like such a dork when I play.

In my opinion Jay is doing better now than before online. I have the advantage of knowing him as a friend and speaking directly with him. He just gets so deeply frustrated and aggravated with how things play out on the internet. I must say that I do as well. People rattle off at their keyboards...
