I’ve only had the Axe-FX III for a a couple months and I’m still discovering and trying to learn how to dial tones in to my liking. I have a Carvin TS100 power amp that I absolutely love. There’s something about the presence knobs on it that just adds a certain color to my sound that for whatever reason releases happy chemicals in my brain. For now I’ve only been using the Axe-fx by itself connected to my Mac via usb to record in Logic Pro and 98% of the time I’m listening with headphones and not my monitors. In a perfect world (in a bigger apartment or house or studio) I’d be using the Carvin with the Axe-fx and turn off the power amp modeling and mic up a speaker, but my world isn’t perfect atm.
So my question is has anyone tried to emulate the Carvin TS100’s characteristics thru power amp modeling with the Axe-fx, and if so point me in that direction, if not can anyone guide me thru trying to do that myself? I was also thinking I could try getting some sort of power attenuator to actually use the power amp and still send it to the computer but I’m not sure what to get to best capture the sound I’m after, I’ve never tried doing that before.
TLDR: What settings to emulate a Carvin TS100 power amp. And/or what power attenuator do I get and how to set it all up so I could instead use my irl Carvin TS100 without speakers into Logic Pro. Thanks.
