Hi Guys,
I am looking for some advice on which Cab packs I could purchase to build some live (direct to FOH) presets. I'm going to try and provide as much info as I can and am hoping some of you kind people could give me some advice based on your experiences.
My current setup is an AXE FX II + Matrix GT1600FX + Matrix FR212. I just barely went from running 4CM (Mesa MarkV + Mesa 4x12 Recto Cab) to this setup and am really enjoying the new setup. I want to try and get the best possible tones for live (direct to FOH) use. I play Ibanez guitars with passive DiMarzio pickups.
My needs are basically:
1. Distortion (Dream Theater Octavarium, Killswitch Engage and The Contortionist Exoplanet Album are my favorite kind distortion tones).
2. Clean (John Petrucci's clean tone around 5:00 of this vid: , basically the super chorus'y compressed clean, Michael Landau's cleans and also Misha Mansoor's non chorus'y cleans are some of my favorites)
3. U2 Edge style dotted eighths delay tones (I love Dead Letter Circus's delay tones even more lol)
Given the above 3 needs, could you guys possibly reccomend me some cab pack/s that would give me the best possible FOH sound?
As always thanks so much for all the great info provided on the forums!!
