Re: Not so happy with my Atomic Reactor... what's wrong?

support@line6.com — Tue, 05 May 2009 15:01:40 GMT

Aha! I'm happy to say I getting somewhere:

1. Rebiased the amp with Rowbi's exellent guide. A 0.800v reading should be a correct bias for 2 6L6's valves. Mine measured 0.666 at first (yeah, one evil to low bias), so I managed (by accicent after only 2 turns lol) to hit exactly 0.800

I don't know 'how cold' this is for a bias, maybe it's between my ears, but after this I already felt a sound with more definition. I had less the feeling of listening to a tone that was sampled at a too low rate.

2. Set the output mode to stack power amp. This indeed removed quite a lot of the muffled blanket effect, but a bit too much maybe, resulting in a tone that was a bit too harsh just like phil_ pointed out, but dailing down some ot the treble and presence of the model helped quite some.

In fact, both actions helped already for the exact 2 complaints I mainly had. Cool ! Thx to you guys

So next is

1. Tweaking the 2-3 patches I use mostly through my headphones a bit more, like stompboxes and extra EQ I did put in.

2. Checking out these XT-Live Atomic presets Hey_Joe pointed me to.

3. Push my patches to the next level by using this mix technique of FrenchFries.

Still 2 other things I was wondering about.

1. I use the Live Out jacks at the back of the X3 Live. Is that okay or are the Direct Out XLR's (where I would need an adapter to jack) better ? I've read once this made quite a difference on the Tech21 Sansamp PSA preamp.

2. The 3 buttons on the of they X3 Live, how do you guys recommend these ? Especially Live out level (Line or Amp) in case of Live out in 1.

Thanks again!

FrenchFries: When I look at these spectrums you have there, I would conclude the Marshall is the closest to a FRFR system... or not ?

Wow, really good input here guys. And Thx for you elaborate opinion FrenchFries! I'm going to have a low tryout session here

Radley: wel moding... just as FRFR as possbile I guess... hmm wait, why didn't I just get a flat PA-ish solution in the first place. Seduced by the glow of tubes I guess...

HeavyChevy: Yeah well, other dicussion I guess. I had my share of tube amps, and a lot of them sounded like crap as well. Every solution has clear advantages, we're passed that here no ?

cactuseskimo: Aha okay, antoher mic, I will try that as well.

The patches I used were mostly high gain stuff. Well I'm surprised that no one did rebias his Atomic.

I was looking at a used PE60, but then I guess that wouldn't help me much when I already have the Atomic 212.

Thanks for all the input so far guys. I will try some of these adjustments and let yuo know what the effect was.
