Powered AxeFx?

Forgive me if this has already been discussed, couldn't find any previous threads about this specifically; however, it seems like nearly half of the threads that come up in this forum are about power amp selection, so the natural question to me seems: would a powered AxeFx be a good product...

Maximizing outputs - did I do this right?

Hey Fractal Friends, Yesterday I had an audition–the space had a SD PowerStage 170 and 4x12 cabinet. To prepare my preset, I routed my signal chain to output 3 before the cab block. I am not sure why I chose output 3, but I suppose I was thinking about the unity gain signal and just sending a...

Do I need a power amp?

Hi all, Sorry in advance for what is probably a stupid question, but I can't find the answer anywhere. I have an old power amp that I used to use to run my Axe FX Standard through my cab. It has somehow appreciated significantly in value and I no longer need it since I run my Axe FX III through...

Poweramp thoughts and Orange 2x12 v30

Hey , I just joined the Fractal family with the adquisition of the FM3, I’m really loving this device so far it’s amazing. I’m playing really often live with a louder prog band, and my background has been always related with tube and analog gear. I think that an FRFR solution it’s not going to...

Best Power Amp for Cab?

Hi guys, I'm getting soon a cab, probably the Harley Benton G212 Vintage. But looking at the power amps can't decide between the seymour duncan 170 or the Palmer Macht 402 or maybe the Harley Benton GPA-400 for its low cost, and I saw good reviews on it. Do any of you guys have any expericence...

Lightweight, affordable, 1u poweramp. Anyone have experience with Monoprice?

I have a QSC gx5 poweramp currently in my rack, it came with my Axe Fx ii when I purchased the rack used. The gx5 has more than enough power, never goes past noon, but it is extremely heavy for constant transportation... Especially considering our cabs are generally used for stage sound only...

Preamp/Poweramp gain structure balance parameter with retained volume

Hi, maybe someone already thought of this in an old thread, but would it be able to add a parameter that adjusts the balance between all elements of preamp gain such as Input drive etc. and power amp gain such as Master volume etc. Just a knob that when turned clockwise bumps the power amp...

Running 2 Ax8's into a 2-channel poweramp to feed 2 4x12 cabs

Hey all, the two guitarists in my band are using two Ax8's, running the main output 1 to FOH via the XLR out. I want to run the second output into a poweramp feeding 2 Marshall 1960A's for monitoring. Is there a way to run two Ax8's into a 2 channel power amp to feed the two cabs, each in mono...

Is my rig "safe"? Poweramp into cab questions.

Hey guys. Picked up a Carvin DCM2000L to run into an Orange 4x12 with my Axe FX 2. I'm currently running the Carvin in bridged mode, but I'm not sure if this is safe. Am I going to overload the speakers? Orange speakers are rated 240W at 16 ohms.

Tweaking parameters for tube poweramp and p.a. sim ON

Tryin' to use poweramp modeling with a tube power amp + real cab (with p.a. off it sound very well but it's not possible to obtain the poweramp overdrive except of turning up volume and damage my ears...), hoping to reduce the double compression (modeling plus real p.a.) tweaking randomly: SAG...
