Stereo Setup with Powerhead

    So I am finalizing my decision between the powered and non-powered version of the toaster head.


    I have a Xitone MBritt powered FRFR on the way. I also currently have a Hughes and Kettner 2x12 standard cabinet with Vintage 30's.


    I am leaning toward the powered version to have options and to also be able to run the Hughes and Kettner 2x12 from the onboard poweramp as well as the Xitone for a stereo setup.


    In thinking it thru the only confusion I have on doing this would be....


    Would I have to use merged profiles only using that setup in order to turn the cab off going to the Hughes and Kettner 2x12 and allow the full profile thru to the Xitone for the stereo setup. Not sure if I could use studio profiles in a setup like that due to not being able to disable the cab simulation to the H & K 2x12.


    Thoughts?


    Thanks

    You can disable cab sim in both merged and studio profiles although theoretically the merged ones are better at doing this. In reality I wouldn't worry about it. I'm running a 4x12 cab in the center with two dxr10s in stereo. Sounds massive on both merged and studio profiles.

    just to expand turning off cab on a studio profile is KPA 'guessing' where the amp finished and the cab starts.


    A merged profile due to the profiling process knows the amp from the cab and is therefore more accurate.


    Merged may be better but they are harder to find.


    A good sound is a good sound so it doesn't matter what you do to get there as long as ultimately your like what you're hearing!
