So far I have been extremely happy with the PS-200. This has been my first experience with the power amp/cab journey, so I am sure at some point I will venture out into the realm of other options. Price to me has little to no bearing on my decision, but that’s just me.
What’s the difference between Recto Large and the Oversized?
I've had my GT1000FX since 2012. It's one of the older UK made ones, still going strong and built like a tank. It replaced the VHT 2502 and Mesa fifty/fifty i had used prior to that. It's been a stellar amp to have, and super light-weight too.
Sorry to hear that
thxs I got a good price of $699 so I jumped on it - it was mint condition- on the outside - suck
That is how GC is any more
Afaik, a tube amp (LxII) will lock onto a connected cab automatically at the correct IC for the specific LxII / real cab relationship. You can also set an Axfx IC on top of that (other than reactive load) to bring the overall IC closer to the modelled amp / real cab IC if you know the rez frequencies of the real cab to enter on the Axfx speaker page, but I think the automatic LxII tube amp / cab IC will have an influence, which could be considered a negative aspect of introducing real tubes into a modelled chain (could muddy the intended model), as opposed to a SS p.a. which does not influence the IC. In cases like mine where I've really not been able to properly determine the rez freqs of my real cabs, LxII could be an advantage in terms of it being able to lock onto my real cab at the right IC for LxII without my needing to know the rez freqs of my real cabs, though I'd have to accept that the IC generated with LxII might not be the same as what a real version of the modelled amp I'm using would generate if connected to the same real cab. There's no perfect solution it seems but I still feel like getting a good determination of my real cabs' rez freqs and using a SS p. a. is better wrt maintaining Axfx modelling accuracy throughout.
Thanks for this, it makes sense. I've never been able to accurately lock onto the low res. frequency of by own cabs. I think I got somewhere close by ear, but you never know if your ears play tricks on you, so it's all guesswork.
I know a guy who uses a Behringer class D power amp with his modeler. He argues that it's superior compared to other power amps especially at that price point as he says it's completely "neutral", "perfect sounding" and "not hyped like Matrix products". Judging from a recent A-B test he did I think it's either the modeler and/or the power amp he uses that has not convinced me at all and sound off and awful IMHO (he's using a competitive N modeler product). I find it funny that this particular guy seems to think he holds the holy grail of 300 € power amps that no one else seem to use, at least for guitar.
I ain't even gonna lie. The period where I received the most complements on my live tone (by FAR), was the 4 years I ran an Ultra into my Randall RS125xl powered by a Beringer inuke3000. More compliments than my expensive tube rigs, or my more modern FM9 going direct to FOH. I probably received more blind accolades with that rig than all my others combined over 30 years of gigging. All you could see from the stage was my GCP on the floor, and my cab. The Axe and power amp were hidden off stage somewhere.
Standard (or otherwise known as the OS oversized) is different from the Traditional.
