To use "REAL POWER AMP (and cabinet)" and "PA" at the same time

[Chang Soo Ko]

I would like to separate the POWER AMP Section separately from the AX8 AMP Section.
because when AX8 is used with REAL POWER AMP, POWER AMP(and Cabinet simulations) are not required.
but If it is connected with PA, POWER AMP(and Cabinet simulations) are must be required.

If PRE and POWER are separated,
Using FX LOOP connect to the REAL Amp's Return jack(only use PRE AMP on AX8's amp sections),
and OUTPUT connect to the PA(use PRE, POWER and cabinet sections).

If by "real" you mean "tube" then that would be handy, albeit unlikely. If you're using a SS power amp like the Matrix GT800/1000 then you can leave power amp modeling on, it works great.

+1 for poweramp sim separated from preamp sim.
If someone want to connect his real tube amp with the four cable method and in the meantime he want to send a cab sim to the PA (instead to mic his real amp) he've to create a parallel shunt routed to the XLR's, but he would need a poweramp sim before the cab sim.

Do you really want to crank the amp on stage? I thought that was a studio use case only
