Power amp modeling when using matrix amp and guitar cab?

[primerib]

I'm pushing my AXFX2 into a Matrix GT1000FX and then into a vintage 30 loaded 4x12. Are people using the power amp modeling with this setup or do you turn it off? I was in the global menu turning off the cab stuff , but I think I like the poweramp stuff on. What say you forum?

I run the same GT1000FX amp into a THD 2 x 12 and definitely prefer it with power amp modeling.

The Matrix is pretty flat specs so use the Power modeling in AXE II. Ultimately thought whatever your ears like is what's best!

I use power amp modelling ON with Matrix GM50 into 2x12 V30 cab

Yes it needs to be switched on.

I prefer PWR AMP modeling ON in your scenario.

I'm using a Gt800 FX with a GB quad, I have power amp modeling on.

I have the same set up, the matrix is so neutral (supposedly) that your power amp settings come through from the modeler. I think it sounds great with the Power Amp simulation on.

A friend of mine found a guy here that has a Matrix GT1000FX, he already tried it an ULTRA pushing an 80's Marshall cab and he said the sound was fantastic! very punchy and elastic. Next week we will try it with the Axe II pushing a vintage 5150 cab.

Yep, power amp modelling should be on.

i have the matrix 1000fx with ax-fx II through a marshall cab 4x12 loaded with the G12-75 and have Power amp sims "ON"

I have a similar setup... Axe FX II > Matrix GT 1000FX > Rivera 4x12 v30s

ALWAYS power amp sims ON!
