Cab and Poweramp situation

Hello everyone I own the Axe Fx 2 XL, a matrix gt1000fx, and a mesa 2x12 compact version loaded with Celestion V30's. My question is while I know that 1000 watts is a lot of watts sometimes I have to raise my volume on the matrix to about 12 o clock more or less to cut through in a rehearsal...

Bug? It's happening again

Well as far a cabinet goes, I use a power amp specifically seymour duncan's powerstage 170. But I don't think that's the issue. Even when I have the AXE going direct in, it's giving me the problems I've described. When the AXE FX 2 XL is in working order it's like the best thing I've ever owned...

Not a Bug Signal but no SOUND HELP!

I'm telling you haven't changed anything. I've been pretty set on these patches for some time. The axe is acting finicky again. In fact I just noticed on some of my fender patches, they were changed from double verb to 59 bassman which I don't know how this happened. Like seriously it's kinda...

Hi I own the Axe Fx 2 XL and a Matrix gt1000fx. I'm interested an an orange 2x12 PPCOB (120 watts mono) loaded with celestion v30s 16ohms each. Is it practical using this cab powered by the Matrix gt1000fx? Or will this power amp blow it to smithereens?
