That's me - I think the key to the G System is to use balanced cables. I have been through so much gear over the years, I think now I have found the tones in my head by using the G and Mark. It is such a simple setup - no external buffers, ground lifts, gates etc.
Couldn't be happier!
After about 15 years, I will be selling my Triaxis to go to the Axe-Fx. Not that the Triaxis doesen't sound great, it is just time for a change, and having the MK IV too it is kind of overkill for me.
Here is the answer I got from PRS when I asked...
Hi Michael,
Thank you for writing to Paul Reed Smith Guitars. We keep the factory temperature at 74 degrees and the humidity level between 40 – 45%. We find these conditions to be optimal and recommend storing your PRS guitars in a similar...
Thanks guys, now I am on a Queensryche kick.
Hear in the Now Frontier is very dry, but very well put together. Best sounding QR album to my ears.
Tower of Power - What is Hip? sounds amazing
Living Colour - Vivid
Rush - Snakes and Arrows (studio) - check out The Main Monkey Business
Hear in the Now Frontier was a great album! Tones and songwriting were amazing, and it is still one of my favorites Unfortunately it was all downhill from there. MindCrime II was awful. It was a crime for them to put that out.
My IV is a widebody 1x12 combo, and sounds great on its own, but when I slave out of that back into the switcher and to the 2:90 out the 4x12, it sounds huge (the 1x12 is still on, as the MKIV needs a load).
With the GCX, I would route the guitar in the front panel, using #1 as the Triaxis, and...
I love the GCX, but the Mesa High Gain Amp Switcher is great. I was having issues with ground loops with the GCX, to the point where I gave up this rack project more than once.
It was actually pretty funny - My wife wasn't pleased, and my seven year old kept coming in asking if he could test it!
My garage floor had cables all over it, and I kept thinking about routing and re-routing. I am very pleased with the results, and it is cool to get back to the big rack.
After watching the progress of building his new rack, I got the itch to combine my MK IV combo / G major and Triaxis / Intellifex separate setups. Here are the results.
I let my neighbor's son borrow the ART and my Ibanez RG 550, and got them back this weekend after about 1 year. For as...
RockMAN Octopus works great, as does the Peavey Midi Pro (also under $100 on ebay). Personally, I agree with Kage about the GCX and Ground Control Pro. Hard to be beat.
