So I took the plunge and picked up the GT1000FX-2U, just hooked it up tonight. I have it running to both my Mesa 2x12 recto horizontal and Marshall 4x12 1960AV cabinets. Just to clarify my set up - I'm currently using 1/4inch cables from Output 3 on my Axe FX III into the GT1000FX. And yes I'm bypassing the Cab block.
I have a few questions for those who have experience with this power amp (into traditional guitar cabs).
For starters, I notice the output level on Output 3 is by default significantly lower than Output 1.
But my real problem is that my presets sound bad. They sound muffled and dead and are lacking high frequencies. I didn't experience this when using the power amps in my Mesa tube amps into to the same cabinets.
I experimented by adding a GEQ before Output 3 and bumping 1,2,4k a little and it made significant improvements to the muffled sound. Of course I don't want to do this on every preset.
One thought I had was to pick up some XLR cables, use Output 2 (instead of Output 3) into the GT1000FX and set a Global EQ setting for Output 2 to bump the higher frequencies on all my presets. Does this make sense?
Has anyone else had this experience with the GT1000FX and if so how did you solve it? Any advice or input would be appreciated.
Thanks!
