    Axe-fx II effects alternative with a Triple Rectifier?

    So I recently got a taste of a real tube amp and I'm beyond ecstatic. I can't get the Axe-fx II to sound as good as the Triple Recto so I've been using my Recto for live/practice. I've been missing my effects so I'm contemplating buying a small pedal for a tuner, delay, whammy and wah. I've been...

    Axe-fx II Cameron CCV vs Cameron CCV

    We had a chance to A/B the two at Matt's (mhenson42) a couple of months ago and determined that they did not sound alike... and hopefully my buddy Matt will get his new CCV in by this Sunday to compare again...from what I remember, Brad was going to send Cliff a reference amp right before the...

    During the whole countdown I saw where two of the FAS "higher ups" were selling their Axe-fx's J (eBay) and V (FAS forum) where selling their Axe-fx Ultras... One of them was "called out" and then they both removed their "items" and any trace of said posts... I put two and two together and...

    Axe-fx into a Mackie HD1531

    I just got back from going to Sam Ash with a buddy of mine, and had a chance to demo the Mackie HD1531... An Australian fella from hear on Rig-Talk was raving about how great it sounded and how he replaced his VHT (Fryette) 2/90/2 and VHT Fat Bottom cab with the Mackie HD1531. Well, we plugged...

    Beyer Dynamics DT770 not loud enough?

    I don't know if you guys are familiar with these types of headphones but I got these and they don't sound nearly loud enough via my iPhone, which I read previous to purchasing them so I expected that... but I was thinking that my Behringer AMP800 would be enough to power them which it...

    Marshall 1960 A/B cabs G12T-75 & V30 X-pattern suggestions?

    Got some four V30's (16 ohm) on the way (thanks Mike!) to go with my four G12T-75's (16 ohm) so now I've been itching to get both of my Marshall 1960 A/B cabs in X pattern... I found two diagrams for Series-Parallel and Parallel-Series... the Series-Parallel showed that I needed to have two sets...

    December 12th, 2010 Austin Ampfest…

    My first “full blown” amp fest… there were plenty of awesome high gain amps to go around, that was for sure. There were four Mills Acoustics cabs, two Marshall 1960BV (edit) cabs, a Port City 2x12 cab with Scumback H75(?) that sounded huge for a 2x12 and a 4x10 cab. Please chime in with the...

    Had a wonderful time (again) at Matt's house... there were several folks that I had never met but were from (here in) the Rig-Talk forums... Quick and to the point... the following amps where preset: Cameron (I think) CCV-100... (I was surprised at how small it was) It sounded great, we...

    QSC GX5 into a 300 watt cab... issues?

    I just came from Guitar Center to get a "quote" for trade-ins on some equipment... I was taking in a QSC GX5, Line 6 Flextone 300 watt stereo cab and an Alesis SR-16. They low balled me (as expected) on all accounts... but what struck me as strange was they said the Flextone cab had something...

    Second practice with Axe-fx 10.01 firmware

    When 7.xx came out, my jaw dropped, 8.xx only affected the drive blocks so it wasn't that much of an update (for me), 9.xx updated the power amp sim again and it sounded better than ever... 10.xx comes out and via my headphones everything sounds soooo much better, but in my live setup, no so...
