Go into the amp block and go to the Output EQ. Pull down 500 and 250 hz. Go from there. That usually helps out my patches a lot.
Thanks for the reply, I’ve tried adjusting the output eq to various presets but I haven’t tried adjusting it to music yet. I’ll definitely have to try it.If everything is on as it should be (power amp modelling and cab), you're hooked up properly and your guitar isn't doing anything weird (tone control wound back), then it's your monitoring and the level you're monitoring at.
With all the above in place, I would adjust the EQ on the global output that you have your speakers connected to, and at the volume you are playing at, to get them to sound how you want. A great way to do this is to play some music through the Axe FX (connect via USB to your computer and use as the audio interface) and adjust the EQ until you're happy. Then try your presets and tweak those to taste based on your guitar/playing/preferences/volume etc.
It's easy to overlook that you really need to EQ your speakers for your room, volume and speakers themselves to get a baseline of what will work for you.
The 1/4" (TRS for Humbuster) outputs on Fractal should not be connected to TRS inputs according to the manual.Hmm... I guess it depends on what we're talking about.
OP would likely be using a mic cable - XLR to XLR.
But to a Fryette Power Station line input (it's unbalanced) that's correct. Guitar cable is fine, humbuster's better in some cases.
I've got clients who are sometimes trying to take a TRS line level +4 outs to TRS line level inputs with a guitar cable (sometimes with only tip connected lol) and swearing "yeah but it worked last week"...
Yes exactly - you'd use XLR to TRS cables from Fractal to TRS inputs, eg 1/4" line inputs on an audio interface or 1/4" line inputs on a mixer. Trying to run a TRS line level output into a direct box with a guitar cable pretty much = sucky audio.The 1/4" (TRS for Humbuster) outputs on Fractal should not be connected to TRS inputs according to the manual.
I have never seen a power amp or FRFR with a TRS 1/4" input. They are usually TS and designed for instrument cables, or they are XLR (or Combi XLR/TS). Doesn't mean they don't exist but I've not encountered any...
I did have a co-worker/friend connect my power amp that I was selling to his speaker cabinet with an instrument cable... And then tell me he didn't want the amp because it sounded bad! Even after I explained his mistake he didn't want to buy it...
Or connect the 1/4" outputs with TS cables.Yes exactly - you'd use XLR to TRS cables from Fractal to TRS inputs, eg 1/4" line inputs on an audio interface or 1/4" line inputs on a mixer. Trying to run a TRS line level output into a direct box with a guitar cable pretty much = sucky audio.
