Switching from powered monitors to power amp + 4x12

Just so I can gather as much info as I can, treat me like an alien who doesn't know anything about this: I will be going from my guitar into the Axe-FX III Mk II, then into a Fryette 2/90/2, and then into a MESA / Boogie Oversized Rectifier 4x12 speaker cabinet. Is there a preferred cable route...

Diezel Herbert vs Diezel VH4 shootout

There are couple videos on youtube comparing these two amps, I didn't like the way they sounded so I decided to record my own. Both amps recorded exactly the same way, with volume that I would typically use when playing with band.

Volume issues - Friedman asm-12 can´t keep with JCM800KK (Kt88) w/4x12

Hi guys, I am thinking about buying a second Friedman ASM-12 or maybe ASC-12 to stack the one on another (Is it possible I´ll get an unwanted feedback between monitors this way) ? The reason for buying a second monitor is that I do not want to push single monitor that much, it is now cranked...

IR question about 4x12's......vs 1x12's

Ok, I'm NOT a very smart Mann & have what I think is a pretty dumb question.....but here goes. How is a 4x12 IR clip made or created? What makes it different then a 1x12 IR? Is the 4x12 IR made with 4-Mics with one on each speaker? What about a 2x12? Or is it just 1-mic & it just picks-up...

would this sound odd?

I've got a Matrix power amp and 2 Marshall 1960B cabs on order and had a question. I'm going to run my Axe-FX II in stereo with this rig, left to one 4x12, right to the other 4x12. However, I'm planning on stacking the cabs instead of going side-by-side (I like the look of a full-stack, what...

Who reckons their s.state power amp gives the same 'punch' as..

Let me rephrase the question.. Who believes a solid state power amp (be it a Matrix or Behringer etc) can produce the same punch/air movement/'feel' etc etc, as their valve power amp/valve head through the same cab?? We're not talking FRFR here guys, we're talking non-FRFR. Curious to know...
