Been thinking about getting a Matrix power amp but.....

A while ago I bought an FM3 to replace my previous live rig (VHT Pittbull Ultra Lead and a big pedalboard). First I tried using the power amp of the VHT and this sounded amazing, but it felt stupid to carry an expensive tube head just for the sake of using the power amp. The best alternative...

Let's see those FM3 rigs!

With the ambition to downsize my live rig I have recently purchased an FM3 to either play through my tube amp or use with a Matrix GT1000FX. I decided to build a custom pedalboard and by coincidence the full setup perfectly fits an old case I had lying around. The pedalboard is far from...

FM3: Pairing with real cabinet - Tubes vs. Solid State

Thank you for all of the suggestions. Although I was really looking forward to testing a power amp with tubes - definitely after experiencing the FM3 in the fx-return of my VHT Ultra Lead - I have decided to first try the solid state route again. Last year I sold my Matrix GT1000FX which had...

FM3: Pairing with real cabinet - Tubes vs. Solid State

The return of the VHT works really well and sounds absolutely incredible, but it somehow feels redundant to carry around head while I only use the power section. That's why I was looking into a dedicated power amp.

FM3: Pairing with real cabinet - Tubes vs. Solid State

What is the life expectancy for a network cable?

Does your cable smoke or eat unhealthy? Best bet is to always have a spare one available! ;)

Controlling DAW or Qlab with MFC-101 through Axe-FX II over usb

MFC-101 connected to the Axe-Fx II with an ethernet cable, and the Axe-FX II connected to my laptop with a usb-cable. No midi cables involved, but I guess it should be the midi-out of the Axe-Fx?

Controlling DAW or Qlab with MFC-101 through Axe-FX II over usb

Hi everyone, My band and I are currently without a drummer, which makes we are rehearsing with a drumtrack. As running to my macbook is getting kind of annoying, I was looking at a way of controlling my DAW or Qlab with my MFC-101. Unfortunately I can't get it to work. I have set Midi Thru...

Mastodon - Oblivion cover

You don't get stems and the audio stays within the application, so there is no standard feature to export the track. You just get a mixer where you can adjust the level of each 'stem'. I just removed all guitar and used soundflower to record the backingtrack to a useable audiofile. PM on the...

Mastodon - Oblivion cover

Hi everyone, I just recorded a new cover! In order to record a cover, where my guitar is clearly audible I purchased Oblivion on Jammit.com This gave me the possibility to completely remove the original guitar tracks. So every piece of guitar you hear is mine, part from a little...

Slipknot Mark IV (OwnHammer)

Very cool and useable sound. I really like the fact that is has power, but doesn't have too much bass. I think it really leaves the room for a basstrack and that it would really punch in a mix.

Thinking of purchasing a Matrix cab/monitor...

I've been very happy with the quality of Matrix and the service of G66. Matrix is just much more convenient to buy than Atomic in Europe.

Thinking of purchasing a Matrix cab/monitor...

The weakest link in my rig is most definitely my monitoring system. At the moment I play through an Electro-Voice ELX112 passive monitor, powered by a GT1000FX. The ELX is undoubtedly a great monitor for its price, but lately I have been having the feeling that there is a far better solution...

Custom pedalboard for MFC and Mission pedals

With the tolex and handle it looks very familiar! :D I would've put the ethercon on the side though! Feels a little bit safer when playing live.
