Bangha Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Why does an amp/cab block not sound the same as an amp block with the exact same cabinet added in another block. I tried this with the JTM45 and the difference is far from subtle. Needless to say I used the exact same settings for both the amp/cab block and the amp block + cab blocks. Any ideas? Thanks!

phil_m Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Are you sure you selected the full amp model and not just the preamp? That would indeed sound a lot different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, full amp model. JTM45, I am rather perplexed by the results. I'll have some free time later today and do the same experiment with other amps. . I do encourage others to give this a shot though!

marijnv6 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Gonna experiment with this when I get home tonight. I am curious.... I'll post my findings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterHamm Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Yes. I have noticed this, the first day I was messing around. But, now that I know the unit pretty well, since I never use a "full amp"... ever... it hasn't affected me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aepoc Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Very interested to see what you guys come up with here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncann Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Here's a patch that quickly changes the two: amp and cab in one block to amp and cab in two blocks. I'm hearing the exact same thing in both cases. quick.amp.switch.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital_Igloo Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Here's an easy test: Place an Amp+Cab block on Path 1A and separate, identical Amp and Cab blocks on Path 1B. At the Mixer block, invert Path B's polarity. If the two paths are identical, the signal should all but disappear. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncann Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Indeed it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterHamm Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 There must have been something different about them the one time I tried it.That said, I'd never use the whole amp, only the separate amp plus cabs. So I don't know if I'll spend a lot of time learning more about this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
