2x12 cab question

I’ve been running two Xitone FrFr wedges in stereo for a long time now powered by a Matrix GT1000 power amp. I recently acquired a Randall 2x12 V30 loaded guitar cab, the cab can be run in stereo or mono. Is it even worth running it in stereo? Or is mono better suited?

Virtual capo

I gave the virtual capo a try today to downtune to D I mainly play in E standard. I put the pitch block first in the chain does it matter if it's first or could it even go after amp/cab? Thanks Alan.

Herbie CH3 (Cygnus beta 10)

Herbie CH3 Scene1 Rhythm, Scene 2 Rhythm + filter to reduce low end, Scene 3 Lead, Scene 4 lead + Chorus. Really nice chunky chewy sound :) I use a purchased YA cab but I found a factory YA cab after a little high cut low cut was really close.

Gary Moore SGTB

Took a try at the Still got the Blues tone, Used a JTM45 and a BBpre to try and emulate the Marshall guvnor tone. It always surprises me just how much gain Gary used and controlled it all so well with volume and tone on his guitar. Adjust to your setup, scene 1 amp alone, scene 2 where the magic...

FS ART SLA2 Poweramp

200watt 1u poweramp, I've used it with guitar cabs and FrFr speakers and its a fantastic poweramp, plenty of clean power. looking at getting $200 + $25 shipping, shipping will almost certainly cost me more than that due to the weight but a $25 flat rate fee within in the USA only is fine.

Guitar EQ differences

Hi all I have two guitars that are the same make model etc same pickups and one of them has way more low end (thicker muddier sounding). Is there any way to see a graphical representation of where the guitars frequencies differ? thus allowing me to EQ a particular guitar? Thanks Alan
