Hi guys,
I am thinking about buying a second Friedman ASM-12 or maybe ASC-12 to stack the one on another (Is it possible I´ll get an unwanted feedback between monitors this way) ?
The reason for buying a second monitor is that I do not want to push single monitor that much, it is now cranked all the way before clipping occurs while using very heavy palm muting.
I am using Atomica High with saturation on 10, input gain on 5,5 and alnico II really low output pickups.
The problem is output of asm-12.
The other guitarist is playing through Marshall jcm 800 Kerry King sig. amp with KT88 and orange 4x12 with Celestion GK100.
He has his master volume from 0-10 range below 3, input gain on 6.
My Friedman asm output knob is set at 6, ax8 out1 knob fully open, VU meter shows around 0db, when palm muting it can get around +3db.
It is right at the treshold, any db added and my friedman is going to clip, not clip just once in a while, but maybe every 2-3 seconds while playing.
Btw, I am using Ownhammer F-man 6 pack, which is basically friedman BE 4x12 IRs.
Using combination of all speakers, it is the BEST sound I have ever heard (I owned Mesa road king II head, Diezel Herbert and few other great amps in a past) and this Atomica with Friedman cab cuts through mix like a knife, really, so this frequency spectrum is not a problem I think.
The clarity, punch, everything is there, just really not enough volume.
I am starting to think that there will be no other option but to buy Friedman BE 50 or 100w head and exchange the AX8 for FX8.
Looking forwards for your repplies and advices.
thanks in advance,
Tomas
