    Thanks Justin, I'll try that next Tuesday. In fact I always use V30 Mesa cab since it's also my favorite IR there is in stock. In real life too :) I don't think I've ever tried Atomic High. Gotta be the first time for everything! Will keep you posted. Wysłane z mojego iPhone przez Tapatalk

    Thanks. Yes, it's much better than my memory. I actually listened to the clip several times and basically it's the sound I'm looking for (in fact few gain stages lower than that). Maybe someone else had the same quest for JCM 2000 tone and maybe have some insights like amp sim and/or cab to...

    Hey people, long time, no see. I've been an Ultra user for a couple of years now, probably one of the first ones here in Poland. Very successful with the unit, both on stage and in studio. I always make patches completely customized, using different preamps and different power stages, and so...

    Is my front input broken or am I a dolt?

    Power amp for Axe-Fx 2 !!!

    based on my experience Fryette 2902 is amazing power amp with bigger headroom and dynamics than any Mesa power amp I've had. If weight ain't the issue go for it, if you prefer lighter rig I would say try Matrix. I'm waiting to get one myself. Yet Fryette kicks ass and that's undeniable :)
