Yes.Did you disable cab modeling?
Define “terrible.”I’ve used it at rehearsals with the FM3, and it sounds TERRIBLE!
the speaker cabinet that I use is Marshall MG 412A.Define “terrible.”
So, did you turn down the highs in your preset?By terrible, I meant too shrill and trebly.
You changed the power amp and the speaker, and that turned a good preset into a shrill, trebly one. So we know that either the power amp or the speaker is the culprit. Maybe both.the speaker cabinet that I use is Marshall MG 412A.

When I tried the same preset though the powerstage and a EVH cab - it sounded amazing! Warm and heavy.
I think it could be the solid state amp - I am going to try the powerstage at rehearsal later this week with the Marshal MG 412A. I'll post here how that sounds.

We also know that your friend has a Line 6 tube amp and the same speaker. Help me out here. Is he playing through the tube amp into that cab, or into the MG power amp into that cab, or...?
I have recently started using the PEQ block after the amp and cab block which helps me cut the highs and the lows. That at least helps me block the frequency which is standing out.So, did you turn down the highs in your preset?
I understand what you are saying, but be sure to know how to tune your sound...be it in the amp, with an EQ block, or output EQ. Very useful if you don't always know what you are going to play through.
TBH, any fixes should start with the Amp block. Too much treble? Turn down the Treble knob. Too much presence? Ditto.Any other tips on how to do it? ( apart from the amp bock or output block?)
I have always felt the EQ knobs have more of an impact on the tone than the regular amp knobs - but that’s just me. What I mean is, I don’t end up compromising the whole tone like I would with the treble/presence knobs.TBH, any fixes should start with the Amp block. Too much treble? Turn down the Treble knob.

It's like saying "Any tips for how to slow down my car that don't involve taking my foot off the accelerator?"

To put it another way, how is that more of a compromise than using an EQ block?How is that a compromise?
Yeah, that’s what I mostly use as well. The EQ in the amp block.To put it another way, how is that more of a compromise than using an EQ block?
It's true that a post-gain EQ can have a more radical effect on EQ than pre-gain EQ, but is radical EQ not also a compromise? My approach is to get as close as I can with the amp, and then make other adjustments as needed.
Also, there is a graphic EQ built into the Amp block.
