Axe-Master
YES!!!
I really like the Syn5050 - I'm an old tube guy so it just "feels" right to me. I like the Depth and Presence controls on the front. The other day I switched back to the Matrix to see the difference and I was impressed. The Matrix still sounded good with the patch I have dialed in for the Syn 5050. I do like the the low mids in the SYN for fullness. Since i use it just to monitor on stage it's not a huge deal.
Thank you, definitely interested, knowing it's not totally night and day comparison help with the G.AS. and $ at least for a week lol
Great news!! Definitely trying this! Thank you for your knowledge! The low thump is what I seem to not hear when I crank the amp..one thing I love about the fractal is it stays the same at all volumes, I dont play super loud at home but I find it's best to play loud when creating/tweaking presets. Some of the sounds I love sound the same when louder with frfr. Which is good and bad if that makes sense. That particular sound is great for lower volumes and plain enjoyment, not suited for a mix. And that's ok, different dbs for different situations is even more to enjoy!!
I use a Mesa 295 and two 4x12. I almost always use the GEQ set to the «Mesa eq»/5-band eq.
Thanks for the info. Low end punch is usually a result of volume. You usually have to move air to get that, but there are ways in the Axe to get a taste of that at lower volumes. I especially found that to be true with V30s. Now, in your patch, you have the Cab blocks activated. You said in your initial post that you have them disabled, I'm assuming you've done that in the Global setup menu. Also, the wah is activated on every Scene. I'll assume with your rig it isn't. Since you are using a Bogner 2x12, I think the closest Speaker Impedance Curve would be the Recto 2x12 one. I would try that to help shape your tone and response. That low end punch comes from the relationship of your amp, speaker, and guitar forming a feedback loop and a SIC that matches helps that process. As far as your power amp is concerned, I have the same one. I like it, but it does require turning it up to get it to get to that place. I dime the volumes on the Matrix and use the Output Level control on the front panel of the Axe to control the overall volume. There is something about the taper of the volume control on the Matrix that just needs to be opened up to at least 2 o'clock. Anyhow, others will chime in with additional information that may be of use, but this is what I got. Hope this helps!
Many thanks!! I have matrix at about 2 o'clock, I've cranked the axe up from there and yes its louder and I can hear some more definitive tones. The low end is the one thing I definitely cant get , dont get me wrong I'm more of a standard tuned guitar player and the Diezel, and maybe the rec are both heavy favorites in the realm of dropped tunings and bass heavier guitars. If I am able to get more of that bass response I think it will allow me to feel like I'm getting solid results from my Matrix/axe3. I owned a Hagen for a bit and they have a very unique low end gain structure, I had the amp.modded to dial some of it out, Peter Diezel provided the specs for me to try the mod. Anyway, finding that or close to sound would help me as far as creting ,and knowing what not and to do for certain amps. I honestly think its me hearing the SS power of the matrix, not meaning that in a bad way. It's great sounding. I look forward to trying your suggestions, where do I find the SIC of the mesa 2x12? I am new to the SIC curve and know it's in settings , is there a place or adjustment that gives the values so I can implement the SIC settings in reference to a mesa 2x12 w v/30? Regards.
it's IMPOSSIBLE to tell what you hear even sharing your preset (although it helps). I think you should also record the result and share that to provide some kind of baseline. Boxy for you might be perfect for someone else.
I've used the mesa geq, love it and used it in this preset. I'd love to hear this preset with your 295, I wonder if it's the SS I'm hearing, it's a killer amp, no question but tubes may add something
No problem. I would try bringing the amp back to default settings, turning off the EQs and try to get the bass response from your patch at as close to gig volume as possible. Then, slowly start adjusting from the basic EQs to post or pre EQ. The SIC is in the Speaker tab of the Amp Block. I would use that to start with and adjust as necessary.
Could you please share what is the sound difference between the Amp block Output modes? I am just wondering what to look for in the sound.
I've started a few threads with no replies lol! would'nt worry about it. Got around to taking a look after moving my GT1000fx over to my 2 x 112s (v30s). You sure you've got cab modelling off eh?, cuz the patch is crazy bright for me even with my darkest guitar (Carvin Humbuckers) and listening with my tinnitus ears - definitely not muffled - ya maybe a bit boxy. Here it's also almost clipping on output. I find the the patch much better to my ear (less boxy) with the EQ at the end off - but..., different hands, different ears, different room, different cabs ... hard to say - you'd probably have to post a clip as suggested above - I don't see/hear any obviously severe issues.
You don't want to see any red on the Axefx front panel output lights. For the physical Axefx front panel, the tickling the red recommendation applies only to the input level lights, not for output. For output level, go to AxeEdit > Tools and open the "Preset Leveling" window. Adjust your patch output so that you just start seeing red on that levelling window's meters which will put you about 12db shy of nasty digital clipping - a good place to be. I know - all the different red tickling can be confusing.
My mistake, I meant the input level, one on the far left is tickeling the red. The output meter is green not even halfway up, I will check the settings you mentioned in axe edit about preset leveling, setup. I do have my matrix at about 2 o'clock, agree, not sure if I hear much difference when it's set lower, did think maybe I heard something more likeable at 2 o'clock, I've seen where users set matrix to max volume then adjust axe for desired level.
Definitely helps, thanks for the tips, the cabs are on the preset, if I have cab modeling off are they being bypassed? I know this is probably silly, I should just shunt them to be 100% sure. I would imagine the preset being a bit dark is probably a reality, those are to bottom heavy amps, at least I thought so. What about the para eq that's been mentioned in output block, have not added that yet , planning to try as it was suggested. I used the geq to try and dial out the boxy type sound, so maybe that wasn't a good idea, seemed to allow me to get the mids and lows closer to AITR sound, my bogner cab has always been a great match for anything I've thrown at it, possibly not a match for ax3 , seems highly unlikely tho..be100, bogner helios, diezel Hagan, elmwood m90, marshall jvm , modded jmp all sounded great thru it, Thanks for the efforts and suggestions, going to give them a try. Cheers and Thank You!!
