    Is the Matrix GT1000FX still the best Solid State guitar power amp in 2023?

    FWIW, I contacted Matrix UK in June and didn´t receive any answer. They didn´t have any PA amps for sale for at least two years now.

    What do you use for a backup for a gig

    FM9T as backup for the III at big gigs, FM3 as backup for the FM9T at smaller gigs. FM3 serves as desktop unit at home and for jam sessions. That being said, I never needed a backup since gigging with Fractal units for 15 years.

    Don´t know if the neck is similar, but I bought an Ultra Luxe Strat in November, and I´m struggling with the neck profile.

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 25.04 Release

    I used the virtual capo recently at a gig where I wanted to play one song tuned down one half step. Yes there were artefacts and lag, but not so much to make me bring another guitar for one song, and I believe nobody in the audience noticed it. As our bass player always says: good enough for Folk!

    Thoughts about Gr Guitar AT G210A ST

    I never said the GRs sounded bad, just not as good as the CLRs that are on par with my Adam studio monitors. Never heard the new Fenders, would be interesting to compare. But I´m done with buying FRFR monitors, I own 3 pairs now...doesn´t get better than CLRs.
