First of all I want to say hello. I'm a new AXE-FX Standard owner for two days. I'm very impressed by the AXE, it sounds great with my KRK VXT4 monitors at home.
Yesterday I tried it with my Peavey Classic 50/50 tube poweramp and my peavey 4/12 cap (no idea what speakers inside). I kindly ask for some advice in setting up the poweramp with the Axe. I know what sounds good to me ist good My goal ist to keep the poweramp as neutral as possible.
Ok what have I done? I briged the poweramp to mono 100W so I dont have to crank it fully. If I do so I get enough volume at 6 (1 o'clock). If I do that I don't drive the tubes so hard and don't get so much coloration? Or am I totally wrong here
Next I put the "resonance" and the "presence" of the poweramp to 0. I don't know wether this is the neutral setting. With my piranah preamp I had resonance to 10 and presence about 5 to 7 depending on the location.
In the Axe I switched the cab sims off but left the poweramp sims on. Sounds better to me, maybe because it was louder
Has anyone some experience with this poweramp? Any tips in setting it up with the AXE?
Thanke you and sorry for my bad Englisch.
