    Fryette Power Station. Power amp sims on or off?

    Fryette stuff is usually super neutral, so I always leave power amp sym ON with my 2/50/2

    Recommendation for playing Bass

    Well, I also prefer playing the real cab to the studio monitors. Regarding the sub, it does not really enhance the tone a lot, but you do hear much better when your bass is excessive and you need to dial less bass ;) I just felt like HS7 were not cutting it on their own when playing the whole...

    Recommendation for playing Bass

    I have a pair of HS7 with a sub, but prefer playing bass with headphones (HD 650). My problem is that the volume I need to start hearing bass well is just too loud for my apartment. I hate playing guitar in headphones, but bass sounds just right to me.

    Manny's secret 'Amp in the room' / Backline, Swiss army knife

    When you just evaluate DT50 on its own, you see no problems. It just feels like you have the control over your sound. Once you start comparing your setup with real amps, and with other power amps using the very same cabs, you will hear the difference. What I have found was that bogner power...

    Manny's secret 'Amp in the room' / Backline, Swiss army knife

    I'm playing Fryette 2/50/2 into DT50 112 (just using the speaker). I have tested all possible options for DT's power section, and it just doesn't cut it. Try it, you will be so much dissapointed in the DT :D What I have learned though is that is you want different "Styles", have different cabs...

    My first month with the Axe-Fx III

    As some already pointed out, most probably the problem is the volume. Since you like the monitored sound and even the sound from headphones, as I read about "lacking the mids" I immediately thought of Fletcher-Mudson curve. Crank the volume on your HS8 to the gig level and I bet you won't like...

    Speaker Impedance

    Okay, now I see that Impulse Response "format" simply lacks the impedance information. Maybe someone needs to address this issue with new IR format? ;) Wow, that's quite some useful info, thanks. Well, I guess I will end up actually landing some tube amps which I like and try to match them...

    A wish or reality?

    I totally agree, having more controls is always better. I can tell you where I am standing and why I *think* this would be beneficial to me. I have never owned a tube amp. Only hybrids so far. I have played some, but never had one, so I really have no reference on how the guitar should sound in...

    Speaker Impedance

    Regarding tweaking to specific IRs I now understand that it is indeed necessary to adjust these speaker parameters in the AMP block to get the virtual power amp interact correctly with the virtual speaker (CAB block) as a real tube amp would do automatically. Although, the (virtual) speaker...

    A wish or reality?

    Ok I found what I was referring to: http://wiki.fractalaudio.com/axefx2/index.php?title=AxeLive It looks to me that it does not really set a goal of reproducing original amp controls, but just an attempt of some crude simplification towards live use, although I might be wrong. I will give it a...

    Hey guys. Please help me understand something.

    A wish or reality?

    Thanks, buddy, wiki is the place I'm coming from. My ears are tricking me all the time. You know I usually just tweak what sounds great on it's own, but it gets lost in the band context and/or just sounds nothing like a real model anymore. I somehow expect that if I did not touch the controls...

    A wish or reality?

    As I am reading my way through the details of the modelling, I started to wonder if there was any way to reduce the controls on each amp block to those which are available on the model itself? I mean I do not own every single amp on the list and I do not know whether a particular model has all...

    Resonant frequency of a cab

    It is only function of the cab. You can usually find the resonance values for the speakers written on them, which does not directly tell you the resonance of the complete enclosure. I have never seen a resonance value specs for any enclosure though. Anyways, there are handful ways to measure it...

    Which Power Amp? Tube or SS?

    Hey, nice vid. ;) I would say more "fair" comparison would be if you chose a neutral tube power-amp and left the power-amp modelling on. That's what I am doing with Fryette 2-50-2 and the question would only be the "feel", because I doubt you could hear much of a real sound differences if set...

    As on a "cab" side of things, you could try the F12-X200 Celestion speaker https://www.thomann.de/de/celestion_f12_x200.htm?glp=1, it's still not out there yet though. Put it into some empty 1x12 cab (whatever you find used) and add a power amp to it. You could also consider DIY for both cab and...

    Are there any amp models only with param difference?

    Yes, except parameters which correspond to real knobs or switches on the amp itself of course. AFAIK (I believe it's written somewhere in the manual) these 'defaults' have been dialed in using studio near-field monitors. It does not mean that it should not translate into other FRFR system...

    To mono or to stereo?

    Just try it yourself. Go to I/O settings and set Output you are using to Sum L+R or Copy L->R. This will pretty much give you mono output so you can compare with stereo. You will most probably like stereo more, however you must remember that in order to perceive stereo correctly at all times...

    To mono or to stereo?

    Yes, but I was rather implying that these effects can (and possibly will) go all wrong when summed to mono (phase issues, some effects will sound dull). So, if you are expecting your studio patches to translate live well and you are using some stereo effects, go stereo. I somewhat agree with...

    Playing through studio monitors safe?

    There is usually a built-in limiter in most of the studio monitors to prevent any damage to drivers. So, if that's the case with yours, I would say you can crank them to 100% volume without a lot of concerns.

    Using MFC for changing SCENES + MIDI Switching an amp

    Hmm, I think I'm also missing something here, because these 15 PRESETs would be basically empty and we would also need to first engage a real preset and then switch the scene in it.. I think this deserves some hands-on, sadly I cannot test it right now.

    Using MFC for changing SCENES + MIDI Switching an amp

    What I meant was that you could control these dedicated IA switches with custom CC messages from SCENE switches. Let's say your switches 1 to 5 are SCENE switches which are actually PRESET switches in SONG mode, okay? Now, imagine you have, say, 6 to 8 switches as "dedicated amp switches". Now...

    Using MFC for changing SCENES + MIDI Switching an amp

    Using MFC for changing SCENES + MIDI Switching an amp

    Using MFC for changing SCENES + MIDI Switching an amp

    What you want is sort of a General Use IA Switch settings which are stored on a per-preset basis. I am not sure if you can achieve this at all. I have never played with MFC's SONG mode though, maybe it would help somehow? You could configure each PRESET to send some MIDI commands when it gets...

    Using MFC for changing SCENES + MIDI Switching an amp

    Yes, correct. It will, but DT50 is only listening to commands on midi channel 1. I set up the axe Fx to listen on midi channel 2. Hence, all the commands for DT50 get ignored by axe fx and vice versa.

    Guide: Re-Amping with external sound card/audio interface

    Normally it is to be expected that your interface SPDIF out sends the clock information, so that AxeFx can use it as a clock in.

    DT-50 as AXE Power Section
