    Potential Cab Block issue

    That ripple turns out to be a step function in the middle of the impulse response when viewed in log scale I must be doing something wrong. Its late. My Brain's morning shift will figure it out. :)

    Potential Cab Block issue

    Indeed! Thanks! This is with the preamp @ 20KHz. Previous measurement was @ 10Khz. Still , there is that ripple in the low frequencies and the small step @ 22ms on the impulse response.

    Potential Cab Block issue

    Hi, When I import this perfect Delta Wav: In to the cab block, with this setting: and this layout( The parallel shunt is routed right to REW reference input and the Cab block left to the measurement input): and then measure via USB In/Out with REW Log Sweep, I should be getting a...

    FCB1010 ETHERCON MOD

    I think the MFC101 uses rs422 for transmission which is much faster than MIDI . MIDI through theRPi ethernet port is tricky. You have to make the frame rate of the ethernet port 31Kbaud which is probably not a software thing because the ethernet bit rate is 100MHz as far as I know. More...

    Taking my guitar onboard the airplane.

    Animals travel in the a special section of the cargo bay. Yes the pressure is maintained in the cargo bay but that does not necessarily mean the air is also heated. That's what I think at least.

    Taking my guitar onboard the airplane.

    I took my guitar in my soft case on board. The airline was alitalia and the lady on the phone said the guitar uses up my carry on allowance so no laptop bag. I probably could have got away with the laptop bag and the guitar but I didn't want to take any chances.

    Taking my guitar onboard the airplane.

    My problem with checking the guitar in its hard case is the temperature in the cargo bay. It's supposed to be equal to the outside temp which would mean -40C to -60C. If this is true then it can't be good for the guitar, and it puts into perspective how serious the guitar flight case needs to...

    Why is the Mesa 2:90 so much more powerful than SS power amps?

    A tube amp into an frfr would be a disaster because u are dealing only with a 12" resonance but also crossover resonance and HF resonance. If you look at the impedance of a 2 way speaker THATS your eq profile
  16. D

    Why is the Mesa 2:90 so much more powerful than SS power amps?

    1. The loudness of a speaker is proportional to the Voltage applied at its terminals. When you see a sensitivity rating that is 2.83V (1W@8Ω) applied το speaker terminals NOT 1 real watt. 2.A SS amp has a voltage that is indepentent of the load( constant voltage). The output voltage can keep...

    Question to Cliff: Power Amp Voltage Gain

    SPL should be the same between a real amp and axe+power amp when they are driving the same cab. Power amp voltage gain does not change because of this.The sensitivity of the cab is irrelevant in this discussion. You get more SPL with a 4x12 with G100H than a 4x12 greenbacks regardless of if...

    Sorry, I don't think you do. 25Watts to 100WWatts is only 6dB (10*log(P2/P1)), small enough to be left "as is" in the modeling.

    You are missing the point. I don't know how loud a recto with master @5 unless I have one to compare and then again there are infinite combinations of master and level that produce the same SPL but different sound. I would like the sound AND SPL of a recto @ 5. So you see, its not a matter of...

    Question to Cliff: Power Amp Voltage Gain

    More or less... A Linear (clean ) power amp with the correct voltage gain is what is missing to (theoretically) get the same output that you would get from the simulated amp . If we knew the voltage gain required , a Master @ 5 in the axe would get the same SPL as the actual head with the...

    Axe-Fx II Technical Questions Thread

    The cabinet Doesnt have singular response. The response of the cabinet is a function of distance and angle relative to the cabinet and hence cannot be inverted except for one position. This is true even in an anechoic chamber. Do you think I am still confusing something ?
