[quote="chrisom"]DC- I'd be willing to bet if you ran one speaker output to a "dry" cabinet and then use the Matrix just for powering L and R effects, your feedback interaction would return on all 3 elements, courtesy of the dry cab responding to your strings...
Or you could use a third Matrix channel to power a "dry" cabinet and get the same effect while still retaining total volume control. Just a thought
You might be able to test this by just running a wet/dry setup using the Matrix's 2 channels to see if it works. While the FX processor is essential for "the sound", I think one element of the signal needs to NOT be going thru any digital FX processing to get the best feedback interaction also essential for "the sound" of classic rock guitar, (as well as modern)...

Way ahead of you here-the rack wet side I have pretty much mastered. Especially with a pcm80, other delays, cae line mixer.But I did a straight no fx bone dry reamp for the core tone into one 4x12. Test was-Guitar to amp, amp to load, lineout to matrx, matrix to 4x12. Heat was also a concern after 5 minutes-amp and load resistors. Tranny was about as warm as it had ever been. So just kept it short but sweet. Didn't want everything to desolder itself. That would be bad but probably was fine.
Yes the mojave power dampening was wide open too.
Totally not the point of loading down the head and reamping to add fx. It was for volume control only. Which I had the bull by the horns completely as far as volume. That was kick ass control! Like total scaling of the volume as it was with no change at all and so low it became ridiculously unuseable because you miss the cab resonance when the wood vibrates from the ass whuppin.
Freaky when you can turn it down so low and hear your tubes and OT working making noises when you pick. Scary!
Yeah I can get it working the traditional wdw way all day long...... IF YOU CAN STAND THE VOLUME
Or your greenbacks for that matter. Freaks me out as the speakers ain't cheap. Its Jesus on Harley LOUD! The matrix is hands down the best amp ever for wdw as its essentially an HH here. I used a DSD into the front and I get oodles of gain no problem stock amp and actually maybe a tad too much. I can see where the peacemaker input design gets more than a stock 12series easy. As far as the load reamp-It works sorta like he claims (squashed a bit and changed tonally from running normal without load)but there is no interaction feedback wise either. Zero. Dead as Elvis.
I have the same c.a.e. lineout box, same matrix, pretty much the same static resistive load, used the 8 and 16 ohm taps on test runs. 8ohm is where its at.... but not that happening.
Am I gonna buy a bugera??? No.
But I put it to the test and the results were not what he is getting so I have to wonder
Cool.
