...cause I only have a week to return it!!
finally i tried the QSC K12 with my band and rehearsed for a good 6 hours all our set at gigging volume
now...I am using all patches with Plexi1 amp, and Red Wirez baskeweave cab sims (cap 6" shure sm57), no EQ.
I just.....do not like the sound I hear...as reported by many users, the Q12 sounds plasticky and not natural or warm in any way...it kills all the beauty of the ULTRA IMHO and the sound is "fake"....is like playing a POD :x
no EQ block was added to any preset. I tried rolling out higher freqs with the global EQ but still won't help.
I find especially challenging getting light crunch/clean sounds without going crazy with the insane amount of treble! no way I can dial a good sound, at least what I was used to consider one.
SO....I am considering leaving the FRFR route, returning the K12 (I only have a few days) and going for the Power amp + 2X12 cab solution, for portability.
Can anyone who is using the 2X12 setup advise what good power amp and cab I should get? I need the cab to be my main backline for small gigs so this setup needs to be reasonably powerful but not too much. I have a gig in 1 month and I would really like to get a good sound..
I also considered going the Atomic route: do you guys think it sound so much better than the Q12 to justify?
frankly I have been playing 20 yrs with guitar cab/combos, and I just don't feel at home with FRFR: they just don't sound good to me_must be I am not that good with cab sims, but since I got the FRFR I spend more time dialing sounds than playing.
the final question is: will a SS poweramp+guitar cab setup sound warmer than a FRFR? because if I return the QSCK12, and for for the poweramp+2X12 and it ends up sounding the same I will shoot myself in the foot!
