I would like to determine the cause. I do not see many posts on this forum about it and I am wondering if it is how I configuring and connecting my AXE III.
I have the same issue with all my guitars with have passive medium output humbuckers. On all my guitars and on most of my presets there is this noticeable annoying frequency around 2.5K. It is "metallic plinky" sound. Also, it seems that I am constantly having to tame higher end frequencies without making the tone sound like there is a blanket on it.
I have tried different cables and I prefer Mogami cables. I also have tried different speakers and prefer Creambacks or the Lead 80.
I was initially using a Fryette Power Station and then the Fryette LXII before I got the Matrix.
I am running a 20' cable to a Analog Man buffer --> 20' cable snake (includes XLR for FC-6) to rear input 1 --> Output 2 --> Matrix GT1000 --> either a pair of 2x12 cabs or a pair of 1x12 cabs. My cabs have Creamback 65s or Alnico Creams
I play a variety of rock covers using Fenders and Marshalls, mostly. I use individual presets and scenes for each song that are created at band volume. All my presets are set to SS Amp with Cab. I have tried many impedance curves, but lately the 4x12 Greenbacks are sounding the best.
I usually start by limiting the input frequencies on the amp block from ~100Hz to ~6Khz. I occasionally use the 10 band output eq to lower the extreme low and highs. Occasionally, I have to turn off the bright switch for the Marshalls. I have played bright cap values. I occasionally run a ParaEQ after the amp block lower the 2.5K frequency -6db with a tight Q.
I use very little to a moderate amount of delay, very little reverb, compressor for cleans, and modulation when it is needed. I use my ears and the leveling tool.
A little about me: I have been playing guitar for about 45 years, both as a hobby and semi professionally. I am currently playing in two working cover bands. I currently own a Friedman BE 100 Deluxe, but would prefer to use the AXE III after it is dialed in. In the past I have owned an FX8 and AX8. I also have owned too many amps over the years.
Thank you Cliff and team for your great work and thank you in advance for anyone's suggestions.
