![]() ![]() (My thoughts are that most are getting a 60Hz ground loop hum that can easily be eliminated, and can occur with any combination of pro or consumer gear. )Īlso, I have never had ANY of the noise issues using the 4CM with several of my amps, including a high-gain Dual Recto. (Faster setup, less stage space, cleaner look, more consistancy in tone gig to gig, etc. I basically bought the GSP/Control2 to replace my boutique stomp boxes and digital FX and it's been absolutely incredible for that application. I use my LSC preamp for 80+% of my live tones, and nothing will change that anytime soon. Nothing is perfect, including the GSP, but it's pretty darn cool. ![]() I just find the GSP to be the best anywhere near its price range and a very useful tool for the live gigging musician. ![]() I also consider ALL modeling to be a simulation of the real thing. I just wanted to say that, as much as I love the GSP, I totally agree on most of your points. WARNING If you are considering an X3 Live! Go over to the Line 6 forum allot of people are having problems with these units lots of switch problems pedal problems, programs switching without the users request, well you will get the idea right down to this thread. ![]() The 1101 does not has as many amp & speaker models but I like the sound and feel of some of them compared to a POD, but you can’t tweak the 1101 models as much like microphone and microphone placement. Personally I believe as do others the X3 is basically a (XT) X 2 no real innovation as far as modeling. The X3 does have improved converters compared to the XT. The X3 can also run two amp sims (including effects) at the same time and pan any way you choose. If you want a unit for the amp & speaker models (for those 2:00 AM recordings) the X3 has way more bells and buzzers. It also depends what you want to do, if you want to use it for just effects with your amp I would go for the 1101. I have tried the X3 but not really that impressed, I have a POD and a POD XT Live so I was looking into upgrading but decided against it. I want my own tones.I'm not much for modeling amps period. stuff for one the 2290 but, I can'tĪfford it.I hope it works ,I am using this in a studio not live.įor the little gigs I do I use an old gt6 into the board. I can't return it like I can the Effects. I will see how it works out when I get it. The tone options are limitless especially if you combine the GSP with your existing amp. If you give the GSP a fair evaluation and make sure your settings are right I think you will be very pleased. I had the same setup as you (TA and 20/20) but the only way to get everything quiet would be to plug your guitar straight into the TA bypassing half of the effects capabilities of the GSP and rendering the modeling option useless. I didn't want to give up the GSP functionality so I compromised with using the Mark IV head (not really a compromise but I was more used to the TA after owning one for over a year). It is very noticable when mic'ing up on stage and caused our sound guy to point out that my rig was unusually noisy. The GSP adds noise to my Mark IV but nowhere near as bad as with the TA. The GSP will probably work better with your lonestar than the TA. Hey, I am not sure how much you read of this thread but the GSP adds a decent amount of noise to the front of the Triaxis and is the reason why I still don't have my Triaxis now. out) this sounds natural.Sometimes I combine for a certain effect.įor me the AXE TRax will work when the baby is sleeping then I'll You don't listen to it with your ears right up to the speaker,so why would you mic it this way? I try to mic thing where they sound musical and pleasant to me with space.This to me gives you your dimension.Any more I like the ribbon's mostly out in front of the amp till it sounds the way it does in front of me.(2 to 3 ft. I like it to sound like it does in front of me. I don't really care for a close mic'd cab too much, it depends. If you need to record do to your neighbors then something like this would work great but, I don't believe you will have the same flexibility as micing the cab in a good room. But, I will find good use in situation's when i need to be quet. Good however, I like the sound from the room too. My headphones sounds like a close miced cab. So far so good but, I haven't recorded with it yet. A question for you! How do you like that Axe Trak? I have been considering one of these for a while. ![]()
