Filter block can swap the phase of L or R channel. For that to work, you'd need to pan the amps 100% left and right. Also, cab blocks have the delay control, that works perfect for this. It's a bit tricky to set by listening only, but it can be done. If you want to go nerd with it, you can pan your amps 100% left and right, and then record a clip, and see the result on your computer screen, one track will a few samples ahead of the other. Adjust the cab delay on that track until you get a perfect result. Then you can go back and back off the hard panning.

Does this mean that you've already done this with the Axe ? You already found "problems" of phase cancellation because of the amps and not because of the mixing of mics ?
The amps are always in phase and have equal latency. Same with the cabs if motor drive is off. With that said, phase (delay) and frequency response are inextricably related. An amp that has a much different frequency response to another amp will appear to have a different latency but this is an illusion. You can't measure delay by looking at the response in the time domain.
thanks cliff. so, its an aural illusion then? since that is the case, i think it just a matter of finding and pulling down a frequency or range that may be unwanted using filters. maybe alter the L/R separation too.
The amps are always in phase and have equal latency.
If I take two real 5150 III amps for instance, they don't have *exactly* the same latency because every amp is unique.
If I take two 5153 blocks in the Axe II, they have the same latency according to what you stated but If I split the signal to feed them with exactly the same signal input, will these two blocks have *exactly* the same frequency signature ?
Thanks.
will these two blocks have *exactly* the same frequency signature ?
are you asking if 2 Amp blocks with the same amp type and same settings could possibly sound different?
what is making you think it's possible that they could be different?
