Yes, Saying the “AxeFx is designed for <some specific rig configuration>” is nonsense. It’s designed to be a complete studio and live effects warehouse in a box with completely flexibility routing and control. Rest is up to you.

I've been running the AxeFx and Synergy stuff together in a rig w/ tube power amp and cabs have been doing this for several years now... the Axe is awesome/amazing but for raw amp tones, IMHO, the Synergy stuff is more satisfying and easier to get along with... With your current setup if you...

After doing it a long time by hand, I strongly agree with the advice to just spend the money on a decent switcher, even if you have to save up for a bit. Eventually you will make a mistake and then you could end up spending just as much or more. It is worth it if you really care about your gear...

No. It took them months and months to release the rack version, BTW: I preordered one on 10.14.24 and it showed up 3.12.25 a five month wait... According to the www site they only have enough trannies to build 5 more 100 watters. I doubt they are gonna one off a completely new version in stereo...

The only thing better than amp gain, is *boosted* amp gain. :P SD-1, TS9 or variant (currently EQD Plumes), Phase95.

The HD147 is tempting because they only go for like $350 or so on the used market now. They had a bigger power section than the Vetta, or something, but fewer models. Supposedly they were quite capable…

Back in the HCAF days Ola was a regular poster. His user ID was 'texassranger' ; he posted on metalguitarist.org a lot, too. So, I've always felt like he is just a guitar nut like everyone else; i.e. he's one of us. Leon Todd and Michael Nielsen post on forums, too. Leon posts a ton, actually...

KSR PA100R + 2x Syn-2 rack; it can do about anything I'd ever want. The KSR amp is new but the Syn rack has been my #1 for a long time now. Kinda cheating since it is modular and I have a ton of modules. Plus I have it 4CM with an AxeFx III so it can really do anything you can think of and do it...

Note that the negative feedback control on the amp has nothing to do with the physical feedback you get between a guitar and an amp. It's adjusting how much negative feedback the power amplifier receives from its own output back to the input. You may like the effect on the amp's behavior with...

Kinda funny how RT goes.. Seems like it is popular here to rag on Friedman these days. When his stuff was less obtainable, it was the pinnacle here but now that it is plentiful, it's time to hype something else.

If the tone stack is on the module but the tubes are on the dock you are going to have reroute the actual audio signal on and off the board multiple times, increase the length of PCB runs of multiple signals, switch signals to individual tubes between modules on channel changes for the more than...

FWIW, it's rumored that Marshall is going to be the next manufacturer to come on board, so maybe it'll happen. The Plexi thing is hard because the Plexi is not really about the preamp only. I'm a big Synergy fan. Have two complete rigs, so the 20IR is not my thing but it looks great. Glad to...

The quote, supposedly from Michael Wagener who produced the Album: About the Lynch guitar tone on Under Lock And Key. There are tons of rumors on how that tone was made, most of them started by people that want to sell amps to guitar players. What we did: we had two Marshalls and two Laneys...

Yes, there are ... It has the original model and a new model that you can only instantiate if you own the SLO100 X plugin. The new model is designated on the grid with designator showing that it is the SLO plugin version and it is a different device. The other is the original model prior to the...

No, you're confused, the Quad cortex has TWO SLO models: an original SLO100 model and has recently had the plugin version ported as a second, new model, as well that is intended to be identical to the plugin. The vid is comparing all three (Plugin, QC old SLO model, QC new SLO model). TBH, I...

Hoping you do caps of both, would love them for QC and ToneX.

This is a bunch of nonsense. The DSP is clocked where it’s clocked and the latency of the convolution is going to depend on the length of the IRs, which is fixed for the system, and how many clock cycles the algorithm/software takes. If it measured at 2ms that is how long it’s gonna take.

I really hope they are what they are cracked up to be because I have a 50W MkII coming next year. :) Any new amps coming into the house result n some back and forth in the household, too; so it is not an every day thing for me. In the back of my head the VH1 tone is always my benchmark for 80s...

Yes, exactly. The Synergy has an analog cab simulated output but it does not emulate a power amp, so that is almost certainly what you are noticing running direct. There are some solutions for getting a power amp + cabinet sim on the preamp's output that would be comparable to an IR-X (a number...

I just ordered a Metro MK2 recently, won’t be done until next year. GASsing hard for one, everything I have seen/heard is making me think this might be the one for me.
