I picked up a used Matrix GT1000FX - 2U and am using a 1X12 Cab with a Celestion G12 V30 in it.
Was really curious about trying the AXE FX 3 into a Matrix with a real CAB versus my AXE FX 3 into Yamaha HS8 studio Monitors (which I have generally liked).
Tried some presets today with the CAB on, and then bypassed into the Matrix and 1X12 CAB.
Sounds better with using only the real CAB.
My question is since I am clueless about speakers is what is the signature tone or characteristic of the Celestion G12 V30?
Is there an amp or amps in real life that it is usually paired with?
A related question is for people running a Matrix (or other power amp into a real CAB) is there a preferred all around speaker?
My first impression of this setup is pretty positive.
