Well, some may say I´m stupid and it`s wasting time doing all that comparisons - all because of the reason i thought a tube amp will do a trick (primaly to the "feel" issue) i can`t get out of the Axe with Solid State amplification ...
I will let you know: It was NOT wasting time! I learned much and experiences growth ...
Today I´ve done the tonematch with the Koch to get a better basis to compare the all Tube-Amp vs. the Axe with Solid State Amplification (Matrix & White Label Rocktronic or what it is..). Used the AC30 TB, did Cliff`s suggested changes on the SPKR page and matched the Amp into the Axe while it`s PowerAmp was loaded to the Guitar Cabinet.
A/B Comparison: Really Close... but something .... now with the more knowledge of the SPKR page and Cliffs statement
In mind i just increase the Lo Res, also a bit the Hi res ... on the SPKR page....
AND I WAS THERE! BETTER:
The Axe with the Matrix sounds now a bit more alive, juicer to me as the Koch Amp with it`s tube PowerAmp!
DAMN COOL! Iam now more than happy, totally flashed and more than satisfied with the result! So again: It was me - i was wrong, but with Cliff`s helping hands i got it! Incredible cool!
So what gave this thread to me?
- Cliff was right! Damn right!
- Big learning curve, that a view on the SPKR page and some changes there could do the trick, if something "feels" not right!
- Because of Damping factor issues a Tube amplifier is not the best solution, when the target is most accuracy translation of the Amp-Sim when amplifying. Solid State is the way to go! Nothing is missed, if you know how to ... (SPKR page !)
- I am totally flashed and more than happy making the experience that the Axe+SS Amp sounds now BETTER than my real Amp connected to the same real Guitar Cabinet.
So, was this thread wasting time? NO! It was a eye opener to me and brings me big satisfaction! :encouragement:
Cliff: You`re DA MAN! Thank you to support me on a journey, you stated time should be better used for just playing ....
I`M DONE
