Best poweramp for Axe III (Goal: LOUDDDDD)

Have the 800w Matrix power amp, does the job well paired with my 1960A, however it caps out rather quickly (maxed out volume and limiter light on but not quite distorting the speaker). For anyone else I think its perfectly loud, but for my band which is essentially a high tech modern doom band...

Wish Where are the transistors?

Over my life I’ve owned a Marshall Valvestate and an Ampeg SS140-C. Both solid state amps, but with fantastic tones. Definitely not your traditional tube amp sounds, but great, IMO. Really good for metal type tones, or if you’re into ambient, very ”synthy” types of sounds when used with a volume...

Power Amp Modeling with SS Power Amp + Direct FOH Setup

Hi all! Apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere but after some searching I couldn’t find much on my particular question. I’m interesting in switching to a hybrid setup for live shows, as in direct to FOH + solid state PA and cab. I’ll likely be grabbing a Powerstage 700. I know...

Solid state amps

The only solid state amp model we have at the moment is the Jazz 120. Say I wanted to approximate another solid state amp, should I start with that model? Are there dials that I can turn to "minimize" the tube qualities of one of the clean amp models? Should Cliff add a crystal lattice knob in...

Are there any FRFR solutions out there that can compete with a 2x12 + power amp?

OK, let me re-phrase that.. Part 1... Curious to know if there are any FRFR solutions (passive or active) that can compare to a 2x12 cab + power amp (either valve or solid state)?? Part 2.. Those of you that can speak from experience, how does it compare tonally? And volume-wise? Thanks!

Anyone using the Matrix CFR12 with their AX8/Axe FX? How does it compare to the FR212?

Hey Fractals, I'm days away from getting a pair of CFR12s and I can't wait. I've always had a thing for the FR212 but here in Australia they are extremely hard to come by, let alone hear one and play one. So I've managed to score a pair of CFR12s which I will use with a solid state power amp...

Looking for a Practice Amp Idea For Jams And Smaller Gigs

I'm looking for ideas on a practice amp, that works well with the AX8, I can't afford an FRFR. I think I actually prefer Solid state, something with an a effects return so I can bypass the amp color. I'm currently using an 80 watt Cube XL but it has no effects loop, so I run the AX8 through the...

How do you find your Matrix FR212 + Matrix power amp?

After having played a handful of gigs in recent times, I'm starting to realize why some guys prefer to use an FRFR solution. At present, I'm using/carrying from gig to gig: 3RU rack (Axe FX + 1RU wilress unit) 2RU rack for my VHT 2/50/2 power amp. Mesa 2x12 vertical cab 2 x guitars Plastic...

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...
