I'm a two week owner of the powerhead and remote. I played a 3 hour gig on Saturday with the powerhead using my cab for monitor, going through the console for the audience. Incredible amp! I put together two performance slots, one with a collection of Marshall and Fender profiles from the factory collection, the other from M.Britt's Vox profiles. Both sounded great. I can't wait to spend more time finding more profiles. The really staggering thing to me is how long and how many amps and pedals I've gone through and never gotten results like I did with just a few hours of working with the powerhead. Like somebody else on this forum said, the sound in my head was there for the taking.
I have a question (maybe this isn't the right forum for that, but I'm new here). I tried my hand a building profiles yesterday. I'm profiling my old workhorse - a late '90s Fender Prosonic. When I played with my results, I was blown away by how great they sounded through headphones, but when I played them through my cab - not so much. They sound OK, but they don't sound like the Prosonic through the same cab. My technique was just getting the profile of the cab using a mic. Since the results sound fine through headphones, but not in cab I'm guessing the problem is a double cab effect, i.e. the profile is made through the cab, then it's going through it again. Further, I assume the only way to fix this is to get the direct amp sound using a DI box and mixing it with the original cab profile. My question is am I on the right track with my thinking or is there something else I should be doing or looking for?
