Hello,
I am looking at adding a power amp for my Axe iii. I am looking for stereo capabilities to be able to use the Axe stereo effects thru 2 412 cabs. I first looked at the ENGL E840 5050 and now looking at the Fryette G2502S and G2902S. Any suggestions on these 3 guys? I have it narrowed down to those. Not interested in KSR PA50 or other non rack tube power amps.
I was originally going to go the FRFR route with 2 of the Laney FR212 cabs but fear I might be left wanting again as I have in past FRFR cab situations. (Kemper with Kemper Cab and Kemper with Mission Cab).
On a side note:
I connected the Axe iii to my Badlander 100 return and that sounded pretty damn sweet. However, I would like a stereo rack mountable power amp for this case.
Lastly, do you have to use output 1's 1/4" output on the Axe III for tube power amps or can you use output 3L?
I have seen multiple ways to do this and have been referencing the manual. I have been disabling power amp and cab in the Global settings as well as disabling a few other settings in the Amp block or zeroing them out per the manual. I then just use output 1 to tube amp.
Can you leave the global settings alone (meaning cab and power emulation on) and just save a preset with the power amp modeling off in the amp block and just not use a cab block for the preset using a power amp? Seems like it is a redundant process doing for the global as well.
Thank you in advance.
