Anyone noticed an improvement in sound quality when using a balanced power supply like a Furhman - not just talking about the low end ones, but the $500-$800+ ones that level power to an even 120??
Have any of you experimented with straight PA-quality equipment as the cab? I use a Pod X3 Live and XLR to a pair of JBL EON G2's (400w ea) and have to say it rocks. I could add a powered sub chained in between, but haven't taken the plunge yet. Wondering if I really need to GAS for FRFR equipment. Probably noticable in recording situations where you mike and ar enot going direct in, and I imagine there's reason to believe that you would hear a difference in a small venue. Can anyone confirm?
When using the AceFX Ultra in the loop of a head, how does it handle the sheer output of sitting in the loop? I has a tc electronics G Force ($1500) that I tried to use in the loop of my Bogner Ecstacy 101b - epic fail. It had a -28db pad, which was nowher near enough to crank the head full-bore without clipping and potentially damaging the unit. How does AxeFX address this issue?
On that same note, how does this unit compare with G Force?
Do I have ot be an engineer to figure the thing out? i.e. tc electonics G Force with its complex routing inputs/outputs, and effect tweakability. I don't have a burning desire to have to engineer my own sine wave on a piece of virtual graph paper to get an effect. Comments on usability?
Can someone link a post where people discuss their rack setups beyond the AxeFX Ultra? e.g. I'd like to know what recording musicians, gigging pros and AE's are using, soup to nuts.
Thanks!
