Fractal Fanatic
Sorry guys, I was away skiing and have been sick as a dog the last 5 days.
the 15" is definitely a better match for the CLR than the 12" was. They actually sound very good together.
As sixstring mentioned , the 15" has something going on in the lower mids that makes it feel a bit more "guitar cab-ish"
kind of like the Xitone that I had here a while back. It's not completely flat like the CLR is.
I had to put a few hours on it to loosen it up a bit, but now I'm really liking it mixed in with the CLR.
I have actually been using it more than the CLR lately because of that "mid thing" it's got going on.
It's a bit darker sounding than the CLR (it's not a treble thing either , kind of hard to explain)
and because it's a 15" and it's got on board bass control I've been able to get a great tone with my fender 5 string bass.
For $325.00 if you can get it delivered in one piece , I'd say it's a great low cost option for either just playing in the house (as I am)
or an inexpensive 2nd unit to match with a CLR or an RCF, so you can go stereo.
I've got to say these Ultra res IRs sound great through it. set the mic to null and dial in the Proximity to around 3.25 and it kicks
some serious ass, particularly that V30 that came with the upgrade mixed in with roadKing 2x12 C90 cab that was shared recently.
that's a great "in the room" mix for jamming out or just practicing with.
Also for the record , I'm not one of these guys that measures graphs etc. I just want it to sound an feel good.
I don't get caught up in a lot of the "geek speak" that people seem to love to toss about when talking about
frequencies etc. If you're looking for something perfectly flat that does not have a bit of it's own "personality" to it
then look elsewhere.
