Hi all,
I just purchased a QSC K12 for my Axe FX II. I have been running thru my Mixer into a pair of Mackie 824's. I was quite impressed with how loud the K12's are for their small size. The 1st thought was to set the attenuation to 0 db on the back of the K12. After all 0 db is unity gain setting magic stuff thats great for guitar players, right? I also went into the global eq and took down the 3 left freqs 31hz -2.83, 63hz -2.12, and 125hz down a -1.0 ... I have not messed with PEQ settings yet because I don't know enough, yet... Anyway- I was getting good sounds but something was a bit..., over driven? Not really distorted... I can't think of a better term atm.... But something wasn't just right as I expected to have a learning curve with my 1st FR FR... This morning i watched a video where the guy set his attenuation on the K12 only 3 clicks off of "off" position. I decided to try this concept and set mine from 0db (12 o'clock), to 9 o'clock position on the back of the K12, and then use output level 1 knob (on the FX II) as the master knob. WORLD of difference to my ears!. I guess that maybe I was over driving the input of the K12?? Just don't know at this point but at bedroom +- 3db levels it sure sounds much better. Any thoughts on this are more than appreciated...
