Ok thanks for your help will have a look and revert. Was running the API (512c) as line level and below clipping level but only way to be sure. It does indeed sound like there is a gain or impedance issue because the difference in sound from the cab and from the IR is night and day

I have the Low Pass filter activated on the PS2, set up the PS2 settings to be warm / fat and set the bright switches on flat. Even with that and setting the amp's presence at 0, low treble and bass on 10, the recorded sound is extremely bright and thin (tried with multiple different IRs)...

Anyone? Thanks

I would check out the Edwards LP customs, great quality and looks

I’m struggling to get a good tone using a Fryette PS2 XLR out and IRs – would appreciate some help. I’m pretty sure I must be doing something wrong in respect to the connections / IR set up in my DAW as I’m very satisfied from the tone coming out of the actual cabinet (fed by the PS2 power amp)...

The titanium saddle inserts are actually nice because they will retain their shape over time (very hard material) while in my experience the stock ones do get deformed after a while and don't make as good contact with the string. I also upgraded the block a large brass one (from floyd rose...

Pretty sure they also used Mark IV's on the Black Album and subsequent tour

Thanks a lot for all your answers I guess I'll hold on for now on the custom shop order... good that I asked before ordering! I'll keep an eye on the used market in case something pops up

Hi all, I'm trying to get my hands on a neck-through, hard-tail, made in USA (custom shop would be nice but a regular USA model is fine as well) Jackson Kelly (would be a KE2T model I assume?). I've been having a hard time finding anything on the used market so started to consider a custom shop...

Looking for a ESP MX-250 - please let me know if you have one you want to sell. Guitar would be shipped to London, UK. Thank you

I'd say changing pickups could potentially change things quite a bit, EMGs have a quite specific tone and compression tone to them so it's possible they just don't fit to the wood / bridge combination of your guitar. Personally, if the guitar sounds a bit dead I'd go for lower output PAF style...

Yep have tried playing through speakers individually, and it's then pretty clear that the EV sounds really harsh. I've been trying to find an MS-12 or an MC90 for a while actually but haven't been able to find one on used market here in Europe unfortunately. I just bought a used Mesa branded...

I had checked these and all measured close to your numbers, also made sure that speakers where in phase. Would that rule out any wiring issues? If yes, then it's maybe just a bad speaker? If it's useful I can take it apart and send some pictures of the speaker and the wiring Thanks for your help!

Thanks for suggestion will check them out. Issue with EV in this cab is that it really doesn't sound like expected, pretty shrill and not much bottom end...

I haven't been able to find any diagrams for wiring such a cab, would anyone have one handy by any chance? The back plate has 3 inputs, one to connect to both speakers and then one input for each individual speaker

Unfortunately, I don't have that cab available right now (different country) but I'm looking out for a used EV I could maybe grab for not too expensive to see the difference. It's a speaker I usually like so it won't hurt to have another one, I can always load it in another cab one day,. I'll...

Agreed with you, I have a 1x12 Mesa Thiele w/ an EVM and it's one my best sounding cabs. Was expecting the bottom part of the 2x12 to sound similar but it's way different. Will have to check the EVM and the wiring, could be some issue there... Noted on these 2x12s, will try to see if a...

Thanks for your reply, that's indeed the one I have. Was thinking about a MC90 to replace the EVM (V30 top/C90 bottom), do you think it will work well in closed back section? Well I bought the EVM (used from 80s I believe) on purpose for the bottom section but I really don't enjoy the sound in...

Thanks for your reply, yes I meant vertical, don't know why I said horizontal, edited post. In terms of power handling nothing crazy, running 80-90W heads into but not close to full volume. Thanks for suggestion, if I can't find a direct replacement for the EVM I'll switch the V30 to bottom...

I have a 80s/90s vertical Mesa 2x12 (metal grill, top part is open back and bottom closed/ported) currently loaded with a V30 in top/open position and a EVM12L at the bottom. While I have an EVM in a 1x12 Thiele cab that sound great, it sounds really harsh and brittle in the cab so was looking...
