Happy New Year to all of you!.
I bought this unit to get into the digital modelling world after years of lugging around my tube based rig. Having read all the research here I took the plunge and bought a unit from the only distributor in Australia. Its been lying unopened for three months as I assumed that I would be able to also buy at the same time the Atomic CLR (NEO) wedges which are still unavailable but promised to Australia for over a year now ! It seems to me the dealer oo struggles to get firm dates or responses from Atomic Amps - Atomic Amps - Independent Music Store
I thought I may as well start the new year with doing something positive that takes me a step closer to using this unit. So I updated the firm ware V17. A complete breeze and took less that 4 minutes.
My next step as I sit here is to research an alternative to the CLR as they are not available to me. Any thoughts on which active wedge style FRFR system is much appreciated. I am literally sitting here watching the tempo light on the XL blink away wondering what next.
So, if money is not a constraint I would value your veteran user thoughts as to which alternative FRFR to acquire. My needs as follows:
1. Coaxial system, maximum 12" preferably Neo magnets to keep weight down. Two active wedges.
2. At least two inputs with independent volume controls - I aim to use this as a light weight busking rig and for home studio use too.
3. DSP system a la CLR - if for small venue gigs I would hope to use one wedge in front as an active monitor and one as a back line cab just like a normal guitar combo / cab.
4. Minimum 500 Watts (I think) to 1000.
OR
An option would be to get a Power AMP with my current 2x12 Tone King Metropolitan Cab (which is 19 kgs).
Your thoughts and advice much appreciated. Thanks
