I must admit I've been fairly happy with FRFR now the Beyma coaxial (12XC30) has settled in but yesterday I dusted off the old 5150 cabinets and thought I'd give the Matrix a run at 16ohms for a change just Axe, Matrix and cabs, amp sims on but no cab sims. Well spank my ass and call me charlie!! It was like the scene from Back to the Future! Some serious dust got shaken off the light fittings!! If it wasn't for the fact they weigh a ton each, I'd save the money on FRFR systems a just buy a van to transport the cabs round instead!! I had my doubts whether the Matrix could perform at 16ohms with standard cabs but not now. Plenty loud enough and a shed load left on the axe if needed. Nice to know that the Matrix kicks ass whether FRFR or standard cabs!! Still a very happy bunny!!
Various things are pushing me towards returning to a backline setup instead of using a stage monitor. Would I notice much difference between the GT800FX and a Fryette (VHT) 2/90/2? (Cab is a semi-open back 2x12 with V30s.)
Great. I used to have a 2/50/2 and I thought the weight of that in my rack was ridiculous. I've been considering getting another tube power amp (Fryette or Mesa). Thanks goodness I don't have to. I guess I'll be putting an order in for a GT800FX.
Is it safe to use the GT800FX in bridged mode with an Orange PPC412 which is rated at 240W RMS at 16 ohms? I read the manual and it said that I need custom cables in order to use bridged mode? Help please...
