Second day update.
I tried the space station in a scenario closer to its intended use, using the Axe FX. I played in a small, dampened room.
In this room I had to place the speaker unconventionally, back to front and into a corner to make it sound really wide.
It really does deliver a wide dispersion and a very pleasing omni-directionality, but it takes some thought to set it up for optimal results.
I need to adapt my patches somewhat, so I can't really tell how well it delivers different kind of tones yet. Initial impressions are promising!
Cleans with a good dose of stereo reverb sound great.
In this room, which is a more silent setting, the self-noise of the speaker is more of a nuisance though.
The hiss is no big deal, because it is uniform and but there is also a high pitched whine which does take away from the experience when working with pauses in the music.
This is present regardless if anything is connected and regardless if all dials are set to zero. This could be somewhat of an issue for me, in the music I play I often work with low volumes in intimate settings, I like to use silence as a contrast in the music so the more quiet the silence is the greater the effect. I don't know what causes the whine and if there is something that can be done to dampen it. Somekind of shielding perhaps? Any ideas?
