Can anyone who has owned both and settled on one of the new Matrix power amps give me their impressions on what I can expect if I went this route
in terms what the differences are in tone and feel between the 2 pwoer amps.
I currently have an SLA2 and a mesa 50/50 and I yesterday I grabbed a Mesa Studio Pre from the Boogie forum to pair with my 50/50 as I just decided I want a real tube amp to run with my recto cab. (I miss my Mark IV, there I said it)
The SLA2 isn't bad, but it doesn't blow me away either and running everything thru the Recto cab somewhat kills the versatility of the Axe II.
So I'm thiniking......................
Get one of the matrix Power amps and run it with a passive FRFR cab
or get one of the powered CLR FRFR cabs supposedly coming from either Atomic or Matrix when they become available
and forget about a power amp all together.(this seems to make more sense to me but I need somthing that I can run at pretty low volume and have it still sound great are these powered cabs all crazy loud(like the Mackie Hd I tried a while back?)
thoughts from ayone who has owned both or ditched the whole power amp thing would be greatly appreciated
