    I'll bump this because I too love that punchy Guy Pratt sound, and I'm always on the prowl for more good bass sounds. If I come up with anything myself I'll share, but odds are low that I'll get around to this before I forget.

    Buy Atomic. Profit. I have one passive Reactor straight cab with about 700W power behind it, and I've been yelled at regarding stage volume before. It's enough to keep up with a 5-piece metal band mix. From anecdotal evidence, the powered cabs (with 2x 6L6 tubes) are just as powerful. If you...

    Follow-up: how do the mic sims in the Axe-Fx actually work? I did some searching here and through Google, and despite finding an entertaining thread by one "Tone-Freak" I didn't find what I was looking for. Are the mic sims just EQ curves, or are they somehow impulse responses as well?

    I understand what you're saying, but if that's true and the above scenario wouldn't work for you, then you genuinely can't afford a $2200 guitar effects processor.

    How is drop tuning in Axe II?

    Hard tail backup is the smartest. You only need one. This is also a principal benefit of playing a 7-string: one can play songs in standard, half-down, full down, "drop D," B standard, etc., all on one guitar.

    The Quest for the flattest response coaxial (HF) driver

    This is exactly what Jay is talking about. That's a pretty bad idea. The cab was designed for the two drivers loaded into it, in a ported 2-way (uh... biaxial?) design. Just stuffing a coaxial driver setup in it will surely not yield good results, and will almost surely not sound as good as the...

    Amp Shootout: Matrix GT800FX vs. VHT 2/90/2

    FWIW the Carvin power supply's switching frequency is a miserable 130 KHz compared to the 1 MHz of the Matrix amp. That's a valid design change for the better, not that everything else designed around the power section is necessarily better or worse. But a higher frequency means less dead time...

    THIS. And it weighs less and allows you to have more output channels if you need. ;) Unless you can run the two cabs in parallel (i.e. they have a "daisy chain" output which would reduce the load to 4ohms) in which case I'd go with the DCM1000L in mono. Again, less weight and cost. But for...

    Amp Shootout: Matrix GT800FX vs. VHT 2/90/2

    The Matrix is probably more "user-friendly" than a VHT for a guitarist using a modeler, simply due to the elimination of tube maintenance and weight.
  62. Soopahmahn

    Amp Shootout: Matrix GT800FX vs. VHT 2/90/2

    I can't say that for sure. In my opinion, the greatest "bang for your buck" in the fidelity department with guitar amplification will be a smooth and uncolored midrange (say 500-5kHz). Artifacts in other frequency ranges are probably easier to tame (low-passing out a ratty top end, correcting a...

    Don't forget to turn the gain down. More. More. Yes, turn down more. Almost. There you go. Again, when you're in the bedroom at quiet levels, you might not want as much midrange and you might need more gain to compensate for the lack of sustain created by standing in front of a loud amp. In...

    Which one amp model can I use for clean, crunch and high gain?

    What you said is definitely true. Myself, FWIW, I enjoy replicating tones, so when it comes to covers I like to try to get as close as I can on each song. Not exactly "real" or "organic" but definitely a progressive way to look at cover band gigs.

    Best case scenario, the clean will sound very thin and brittle or the gain won't have enough sustain. This isn't really possible with any tube amp I've ever tried, and the Axe-Fx doesn't have anything to offer either. This is why 2-channel (or more) amps exist. Your best bet is probably a...
