Hi all, after years of using Fractal products in various ways - recording, live, FRFR, with separate power amp, direct to IEM, etc., I decided to run it with my Peavey Classic 50 combo from 1990 ish. I had never tried this, but I experimented with 4CM, just in front, and just the loop. Then I tried to run the FM3 with amp and cab modeling into the FX return of the Classic 50, and I was shocked at how good it sounded. I find, to my ear, that leaving the cab and poweramp emulation on actually sounds much better (I think the stock speakers in the Classic 50 are very bright), but I know this goes against the conventional wisdom on this topic (especially running an IR into a cab) ... has anybody tried this and/or can anybody explain why the cab emulation is actually superior in my case?
P.S., I don't think my ears are broken or that I have poor taste, but you never know...
Thanks all
