I sold my Matrix, too. I felt that it was changing a the mids a little bit. The thing is my old, cheap PA power amp sounds better in a Slaving setup but has not enough power and is heavy, so I'm looking for a linear light weight power amp in the moment. I don't want a tube power amp because those that I tried coloured the sound too much.

Hi

Id like to try slaving but not sure my setupbwould work.


What i have is a plexi marshall, 4x12 cab and a weber mini mass 50.

What id need to get is a solidstate power amp like the marshall valvestate power amp.

My idea is, from the marshalls speaker output to the mini mass 50 attenuator's input. Then hook a small 1x12 cab from the mini mass 50 output just to be on a safeside loading the amp correctly.

Id also set the mini mass to low level as possible and it aint gonna be all quiet but atleast low signal from the 1x12.


From the mini mass line out jack to the input of the marshall valvestate poweramp. From power amp to the 4x12 and mic that 4x12 up.

Would this thing work?


Can i control the over all volume from the 4x12 by using the power amps volume control.

If the 1x12 is still annoyingly loud even in lowest settings of mini mass, i could cover that up with pillows and such.

It could work, but it would be much better if you get the Suhr Reactive load so you don't have to use the 1 x 12 cabinet as a load. I'm not familiar with the Weber mini mass 50 but some units have a low pass filter on the line out which would make your amp sound dark. Since a typical Marshall cab with Celestion only goes up to 5 or 6Khz it actually acts like a "lowpass filter" I use an RJM mini mixer and eq before going into the power amp. The eq gives you options to tailor your tone depending on how loud you're playing or what type of tone you want
You could also split the signal to ad effects if you have a mixer. I run one Marshall 1960B cabinet in stereo or 2

[/quote] I own both Suhr Reactive Load and Fryette Powerstation and they're both very useful. I use an eq after the Suhr Reactive Load to tame the top end and tighten the low end. The Powerstation is great if being used with it's own power amp but not so well as just a load. The Suhr Reactive Load sounds great with many amps but you'l have to slightly cut- 1db of 2k or 4k and up with an eq to tame down the high frequencies. It's much more natural to cut than to add in my opinion. I'm using the Suhr Reactive Load with an Ampete 444 amp switcher slaving 4 different amps and I'm using an RJM mini Gizmo with 5 loops with different eq curves(3 different eq units) for different tones and to match the amp I'm using. it sounds great! I'm using a Mesa Boogie 2 90 as the power amp.

Hi Guys!

I am slaving my amps through my Suhr RL, sending that line-level signal into my rack mixer (i.e., with Eventide rack FX), and then into a VHT 2/50.2 power amp and GB-loaded cabs.

It sounds great to me! :)

But here is my question......I read about people using an external EQ to tweak the highs a bit.....but I'm not sure why they do this, if that signal is eventually hitting guitar speakers....the speakers are essentially a filter....

Just curious....

Thanks!
Ian

A speaker is a fixed filter, and an eq before the power amp gives you the option of shaping the tone more.

I use the eq because I like to have control of the amp post distortion. If you use your rig for gigs, it would help you shape your tone depending on the acoustics of the place. It also helps if you’re using someone else’s cabinet like when you go to a rehearsal that supplies the cabinets. The speaker is a filter that only cuts anything above 5-6k.Some speakers have too much 4K, 2k or other frequencies that you might not have control by just using you’re amp’s tone control.

Hi Guys,

I slave my amp into a Suhr Reactive Load, and send tvat line level signal into my FX, and into a VHT power amp.

I have read on this board that some guys slave their amp, and instead of running a line level signal into a separate power amp, they run the speaker output of the slaved head into the input of a second amp......

Why do they use this approach vs sending a line level signal to a stereo power amp?

Is their a sonic benefit associated with running into the front end of an amp?

Thanks!

I recorded this EP with my old band some years ago using my slave setup. Maybe not the tightest performance, but you get the idea.

Setup was: Les Paul with Bareknuckle Mule -> ClinchFx Ep-Pre -> Marshall 1959 HW with some upgrades -> Suhr RL ->
Matrix Gt1000fx -> Marshall 1960 cab with G12M Blackbacks -> Blend of Sm57 and Sm7 Mics

The 1st amp is like a distortion box in front of the 2nd amp so extra gain and compression structure are potential benefits. I've only played around with slaving a few times but prefer straight into 1 head with all effects in front, except reverb, that can be added in DAW or FOH.
