Hello!
I have 2 questions:
1) I've just tried hooking up my axe to a PA and 2 FRFR monitors thru the balanced outputs, but i get no sound at all
However I can hear my guitar thru headphones plugged into the "Output 1" front panel jack. Is there something I need to set up in the axe fx in order to get sound of the balanced outputs? Or just plugging the TRS cables straight out from the unit to the PA does the job?
2) Because i'm planning on using those FRFR monitors, would disabling the mic simulation and going straight from the cab block out into the PA system through the balanced lines, succesfully emulate the "amp in the room" tone? I just don't see why not. I don't want that mic'd up amp tone, but the amp+cab tone.
I was going thru the "how tos" section at the axe fx wiki and Yek talks about the "amp in the room tone", basically this:
"The Axe-Fx emulates the amp part and the speaker part. The difference is that it emulates a "mic'd" guitar tone, where the mic is very close to the speaker. Not the "in the room" tone, but the guitar as you hear it in concert through a PA-system, or on a CD. A close-mic'd speaker can sound much brighter than when listening to the speaker at a distance. And it won't have any room ambience"
Isn't just disabling the mic sim enough? I mean, the PA and FRFRs are not supposed to color the sound in any way so i should be getting the tone that's coming right out from the cab at the cab block. Or to be more accurate, the sound from one of the speakers of the emulated cab. Having 4 FRFRs would emulate having the actual cab that's being emulated right there in the room no? If there's nothing coloring the sound after the cab simulation, why going thru the hassle of EQing and stuff? Why would i hear any other frequencies that are already being blocked by the cab sim?
