    Right and Left sides sound different when using 2 processors

    Yeah, it seems to work a lot better with the Enhancer off and there is plenty of thickness running two processors anyway so the Enhancers were kind of just overkill. Sometimes more isn't always better. I love the way everyone here pitches in to help each other out. Great forum!

    Right and Left sides sound different when using 2 processors

    Hey Rex, I got side tracked for a couple of weeks but got back to this problem tonight. I found that the Enhancer was the main offender in the patches so I went through and bypassed it in all of my patches. With one processor on the Enhancer sounds fine but when 2 processors are running the...

    New Journey CD with AxeFX...

    Journey's Neal Schon talks new album, Eclipse, The Sopranos, guitars and gear | MusicRadar.com I found this yesterday. Neal is so down to earth in this interview. I don't know him personally but he seems like the kind of guy I would really like even if he wasn't my favorite guitarist.

    New Journey CD with AxeFX...

    Great info Matt! Any more details? I read where he was using 3rd Power amps too but nothing better than someone being there to witness exactly what he was doing.

    Right and Left sides sound different when using 2 processors

    I have tried the phase switch on the switchbone but the problem is still there. I didn't know about the out of phase options on the enhancer but I will try the test you described and report back tomorrow. Thanks again!

    Hey Don, Yes, they are all set to normal.

    Right and Left sides sound different when using 2 processors

    Rex, I read your last post again just for clarity and I think you are saying since there was no difference that the problem may be in the patches. I looked through my patches and the majority of them have stereo enhancer. Is it possible that might cause frequency cancelation issues when 2 units...

    Right and Left sides sound different when using 2 processors

    No differences with just one unit using the amp/cab only patch. I jumped ahead and went back to just one unit with my regular patches and that seems to be ok too. The problem starts when I plug into both units at the same time. I am using a Radial JX-2 Switchbone to split the input signals...

    Right and Left sides sound different when using 2 processors

    I had already switched the mixers from side to side but thank you for your input because I need all the help I can get on this one. The channel that does sound great is so good that I will probably quit searching for anything else if I can get the other one sounding that way.

    Right and Left sides sound different when using 2 processors

    Rex, I just finished testing the way you described and other than the "normal" subtle differences from one side of a power amp and or speaker to the other, things seem to work fine with just the Ultra by itself and only one amp and one cab with no stereo. Tony

    Right and Left sides sound different when using 2 processors

    Not sure how to explain the differences except that the right side sounds perfect, very full, lots of harmonics, sweet, smooth, etc. The left side sounds thinner, out of phase, not as complex, less bottom end. I have one Standard and one Ultra hooked up together with both unbalanced right...

    Mesa Fifty/Fifty vs. VHT/Fryette 2502 vs. Engl 850/100

    Today I changed out one side of the ENGL 850/100 from stock 6L6's to EL34's. It made an incredible difference! Very smooth and very sweet on that side. No harshness, just creamy fat tone. I was going to run one side 6L6 and the other EL34 for a "blend" of different tube tones but the side with...

    Mesa Fifty/Fifty vs. VHT/Fryette 2502 vs. Engl 850/100

    Hey Yek, I tried the 2, 1-12" open back speaker cabs running in stereo and it sounded way too thin. I went with a Mojotone 2X12 closed back cab with the heavy grill cloth and got a much better response in terms of depth and punch. The Thiele cabs might be better. Some of my patches already...

    Clean Compressed Ambient Strat

    Thanks Sean and Wowzers. This is a beautiful tone just the way it is for a strat. I changed the plexi2 to a usa clean to use with my electric 12 string and it sounded great as well.

    Mesa Fifty/Fifty vs. VHT/Fryette 2502 vs. Engl 850/100

    Update on the Engl 850/100. Liking this power amp more every day and the EV speakers are breaking in well now. I have been using 2 Fractals together after watching the YT videos on Joe Bonamassa's rig. If you haven't seen his explanation for why he uses 2 amps at the same time, I think it will...

    Those with Engl or VHT Power Amps.....

    I have had all 3 of these brands. My experience with the Mesa was the same as yours. Went to the Fryette 2/50/2 and got 2 bad ones in a row and had to return them. I now have the Engl 850/100 and I am going to stay with that. IMHO the Engl is cleaner/more head room than the Mesa or Fryette...

    Mesa Fifty/Fifty vs. VHT/Fryette 2502 vs. Engl 850/100

    I am generally also an EL34 guy but, this thing sounds so good with the 6L6GC's that I don't know if I can bring myself to have this mod done. If you do get get an 850/100 and change it over, please let me know how it works out! Here is what Engl sent me: this modification is not very...

    Mesa Fifty/Fifty vs. VHT/Fryette 2502 vs. Engl 850/100

    Man, you and I are on the same page!!! I wish you lived closer so we could do a shootout with these power amps. I also believe that the last 3-5% are in the tubes. It amazes me how great you can think an amp is right out of the box and and actually be totally satisfied with it. I was that way...

    Mesa Fifty/Fifty vs. VHT/Fryette 2502 vs. Engl 850/100

    I am pretty sure that the first Fryettte that I got did have a tube issue. I am not as sure that the second one was a tube issue though because it blew both of the front fuses. When I put a second pair in, they both blew again immediately. I called my tech and asked him what he thought was going...

    Mesa Fifty/Fifty vs. VHT/Fryette 2502 vs. Engl 850/100

    Yeah, that would be a great showdown! I see you are also using EVM 12L Classics. I just switched out to those too and I like them a lot even though they aren't broken in yet. They will probably just get better with time. Another thought on the Engl today. It came with 2 extra ECC83 preamp...

    Mesa Fifty/Fifty vs. VHT/Fryette 2502 vs. Engl 850/100

    Sorry it took me so long to get something up but here are my first impressions of the Engl 850/100. This is a great sounding and very versatile power amp. It reeks with quality like a Mercedes sports car. The pots are tight feeling and it is very heavy. I purposely played my Mesa 50/50 for about...

    Hey Kerry, Yeah, I got it but I had a surgery on Monday that put me out of guitar commission for a few days. It is sitting here in an unopened box and that is hurting me more than the surgery! I feel some better today so maybe I can at least get it out and get a first impression post up. The 30...

    Thanks for your post! This makes a lot of sense and I do have a great collection of NOS tubes that I could have tried. But I totally agree that it is BS to have to switch out tubes in a brand new amp with a $1500 street price just to get it sounding and/or working right. IMHO there are enough...

I will definitely get something up on the board after I have a chance to hear it. I was looking at the Engl 840/50 too but my Mesa has 2 6L6 power tubes per side and...

    From VHT 2902 to ____ power amp?

    I had problems with two brand new Fryette 2502 amps within two weeks after receiving them. I think the first one had a tube problem but the second one blew both of the front 2 fuses during the soundcheck at the second gig that I used it on. I loved the way that amp sounded with the Fractal...

    I have been using a Mesa Boogie Fifty/Fifty power amp with my Fractal Audio Rig for about 2 years. I have also owned a Mesa 2:90 and used it with both 6L6 and EL34 power tubes. I kept reading about the Fryette amps but they are fairly expensive and especially so if you believe that a power amp...

    U2 Patch Question

    I had downloaded a great patch for the song PRIDE back when we could exchange patches. I wanted to use the core patch on another preset but change the delay settings. The patch won't let me change the delay settings. Is there a lock on the delay part of that patch? If so, how do I unlock it? Thanks

    New Member, Poweramp connection question!

    Hey Brian, Check your manual on the power amp to make sure that you can even run one side without having a load on the other side. Sometimes running only one side without a load on the other side will damage the amp. I think you will be missing a lot by not running the AXE in stereo. There are...

    Individual patch volume changes after moving cab blocks?
