Could a faulty crossover it the F12-x200 cause this?? and again is there a diagnostic test for Axe3 ?
I am trying out the Celestion F12-X200 in a Mesa Thieli with a GT1000fx power and some days it is fantastic but it sometimes sounds thin and nasal . I originally came from the tube power amp and guitar cabs way of doing things but want to take proper advantage of the stuff I had switched off.
I know this speaker is not really flat response but the inconsistency is what is getting to me. Is it possible that axe is causing the inconstancy ? I know some people occasionally get an overall negative change in tone after an update and a reload usually fixes it but could anything come and go ?
Thanks in advance .
Does this simple patch have a wah block?No, it is on even the simplest paches. Whole unit regardless of settings goes from awesome to unusable and back without anything except the power switch being touched .
No was the answer and it still is. It happens in everything I made a amp and cab only preset and it happens there too. It is the overall flavour of everything that goes from awesome to MG10.Does this simple patch have a wah block?
Balanced Neutrik XLR (van damme cable) and speakon to jack( Neutrik plugs and Klotz speaker cable). The GT1000fx is at 2 o'clock or higher because it needs to be for the tone. I have spare cables (same speck) and it still happens.How are you connected from the Axe to the cab? So from the Axe to the Matrix and what setting the amp is on. What connections from the amp to the cab? What outputs from the amp etc. Process of elimination. Eliminate the Axe fx so move to the amp then move to the cab and any connections in between.
Thanks but I have done this already.In case of malfunction always the very first thing to check is if there's a bad cable anywhere.
Bad contacts or cold solder joints do not interupt the signal, they mess up the tone.
From the guitar to the input, from the output to the Matrix, from the Matrix to the cab input, from the cab input to the Celestion....
I don't have a really good set of headphones, I tried it with the ones I have but they don't sound great.Not sure if already suggested, but do you get the same issue when the amp and cab are turned off and just using headphones?
I know what you mean but the headphones sound is not good to start with so I'm trying to discern degrees of suck. My headphones I know.I;d expect headphones tone to be a lot different from the get go - but it was more about whether the 'going thinner' after a time phenomenon was there.
It's the F12-X200 so it only has the external two contacts and I think they are ok. The crossover and coax tweeter are not accessible .different volume levels and listening position in the space? I've had issues with plug on terminals not making on speakers at times, maybe the woofer dropping out? also check the polarity of the hf and lf drivers.
