    Firmware expectations???

    I beg to differ. The upgrades are factored into the purchase price and are a key selling feature of the unit. They are far from free and are indeed expected.

    Firmware expectations???

    And what if you didn't want to change your tubes but wanted the new amps or other features? In the real world, you can buy another amp and the tubes in your existing amps don't change. :)

    So what's next?

    Don't we already have that? I think the unit would be complete if it could make me a sandwich.

    Olympics closing ceremony.

    My wife got the stink eye from me when she complained that Brian May should just "play one of his songs and get on with it" while he was playing his opening solo.

    Retro Channel has landed - first impressions

    Thanks for the clarification, Lance. I'm intrigued. Are these generally available now or is there a wait list?

    too much bass!

    Gotcha, thanks Adam!

    Retro Channel has landed - first impressions

    Hmmm...significantly more expensive than the Matrix, much lower wattage, and it sounds like you have to disable the power amp models in the Axe. The latter part seems like it would limit the versatility of the Axe, no?

    too much bass!

    I must respectfully disagree on this assessment. Even with the reference mic or the 57, there is a ton of low end. It's all good, though, because it's surely easier to get rid of it than it is to add it if you don't have it in the first place. :)

    Going FRFR, yes, there is far too much low end by default. Things mentioned above like proximity, low cut, etc, all help. It can be a muddy mess if you're not careful. Just use your ears and dial out the low end until it sounds natural. Don't trust your eyes.

    Matrix and 412 cab questions

    It does help, Matt. Thanks for that info! You may want to include that spec in your manual. As soon as I get the cash together, I'm going for a GT1000 and a 412 "uberkab" configuration from Avatar, wired stereo or mono.

    When is the AXE edit version compatible with V7 due?

    I'm confused. Then what was the version that just came out 3 days ago for? And why does it have all the new V7 functionality in it?

    When is the AXE edit version compatible with V7 due?

    Um...it's already here, right? As of Aug 6th. I downloaded it last night and all the new amps were there, and the dynamics worked as expected.

    Matrix and 412 cab questions

    Matt, If my 412 cab is 4ohm or 16ohm mono, what's the best way to run the GT1000 with it? I normally balk at 16 ohm because I've always associated that with a "brighter" sound. Can it run 4ohm mono?

    Matrix and 412 cab questions

    Hmmm...I just saw that the GT1000 is 1U AND it is of sufficient wattage to push just about anything. Maybe that answers both of my questions?

    Matrix and 412 cab questions

    I'm considering getting one of the Matrix power amps and one or two cabs. Probably a 412 and maybe a 212 in addition for smaller gigs. For use with a 412 cab with something like 270 watts at 8 ohms (mono) or 135 watts side (stereo...don't know ohms), what is my best option from Matrix? The 2U...
