    EQing for Rooms

    Yeah, this phenomenon is called the Fletcher Munson curve - human ears perceive frequencies differently at different volumes, so your at-home tones will be way too bright when turned up to gigging levels. Best remedy to this I've found is to used plenty of High Cut (I use the one in the cab...

    Switch from Axe-Fx II XL ... is it worth it?

    It depends entirely on how you use it/what sounds you want. If you can achieve that with one amp/cab and without needing a tonne of effects (although, you can still run a fair amount), then an FM3 is fine. Having just come from the II, the feel and ease of dialing in was much better in my...

    Axe-Fx III vs The real deal tube amp

    Try a Fryette Powerstation, it’s meant to be a neutral tube power amp, you leave power amp simulation on but turn off the speaker resonance. Solid state power amps are great (hell, Metallica use Matrix) and sound great. But there’s still something missing feel-wise for me. It’s small, though.

    Axe-Fx III vs The real deal tube amp

    FWIW I could never really find a solid state power amp that sounded as good or had the immediacy of a tube power amp. I think a lot of that real amp feel is down to the power section. The FX Return idea above is a good one. I tried it with my Mark V once, and it still had the “real feel” with...

    I think you want to come back in via Input 2, which is the FX return, and not Input 1 Rear?
