Posted this in the amp and cab section but I'm hoping for a few more responses. I've had the Matrix amp for a few weeks along with a NL12. I'm satisfied with things tone wise but the feel is not quite there. Every time I plug into my Mesa 20/20 the difference is startling. Using the NL12 by the way. I know the Mesa has it's own tonal color but that is not what I'm struggling with. It's been described on this forum many times so I won't try. Not trying to start another debate thread. I'm okay if the Matrix is not for me but I'm looking for tips you all have used to get there. The AXE is pretty deep and I don't pretend to know all the things to try. I saw a video on the Matrix site and it helped a little. I searched threads on the forum but ideas were hard to come by. I'm not ready to give up. My guitar has piezo's and is Roland 13 pin and the Matrix is perfect for that but I gig electric 85% of the night. Music is Classic rock- Eagles, Judas Priest, Pink Floyd, Genesis to Creedence so it's all over the place.
The Matrix video suggested a rough global eq to approximate a valve amps color. Played with B+ constant, sag, damping, compression, different tubes, Xformer match, built presets from scratch. I have memories of just playing my guitar.
Some info:
Amp sim on
cab sim on for FOH, OUT 1 (IR of NL12)
Mono set up
Don't use cab sim with the real NL12.
Have at it.
