Thanks for your replies guys. I do have 2 matrix power Amps and had thought about running one amp one cab. one amp is a gt1600fx and the other is a gt800fx. I guess I could mix the 2 but would have different volumes on each. to answer the question about 2 x BBII yes they are loud. But I don’t feel the same heft and pure power like you do when playing in front of an ampeg SVT / 810 rig. I’ve got a big show coming up this weekend and want to try and ensure I’ve got a solid punch behind me that’s why I’m asking for thoughts on how to optimise my set up. thank you brothers.

Looking for some advice on setting up my amp/cabs. I have a helix > matrix gt1600fx into two barefaced big baby IIs. the cabs are rated 800w each and I am daisy chaining them off one channel from the amp. So in theory the amp should be providing 800w power? however I’m getting the clip light flickering on at just over half power. I’d like to get a bit more volume/headroom out of the set up but I don’t want to push the amp too much as I don’t like seeing the clip light stay on for too long. does anyone know if I would be better running a single 8 ohm cab from each matrix channel, or daisy chain them with speakons running from a single channel. if the latter option is the right approach why do I feel like I’m not getting full 800w into 4ohm without clipping as I power up the volume? cheers dudes.

This is a good idea as I have everything set up in the patch so I’ll get the sound guy to DI from the helix. What about getting a 1/4 jack output to the amp/cab. As mentioned in the post it’s always a lifesaver instead of relying on stage monitors alone.

Hey guys. I’m looking for some advice or opinions. I’m playing a festival at the weekend and will be using the supplied back line which will be an SVT 450 with an 810. How would I use my helix in front of this? I guess I wouldn’t want to colour the amp too much but would probably use some OD, Compressor and would need use I’m of the tuner. Do I need to go into the effects return or the normal jack input? Any other considerations?? Cheers dudes.

Thanks dude

Does anyone have any experience of using cosmic CE6B‘s? tone, clarity etc??

Thanks dude. I’ve now got some Shure SE 846 and they do the job perfect

Dudes. Anyone got a decent recommendation for a set of IEMs? I’ve tried some Westone UM10 triple drivers but the sound was terrible. Unusable. I’ve got about £500 budget. Cheers.

Aha. Wicked. Good spot brother!

I’m sticking this pic in here as well as I just love the power that my Trace 350SMX puts out 🤘

Here’s my current set up. Korg tuner, power conditioner, IEM transmitter, Sansamp RBI, DBX Compressor, Yamaha SPX, Trace 350SMX. It sounds SICK 🤟

Dudes. Is anyone selling a cheap amp as I’m looking to get one for smaller shows where I travel in the car and not in the van with my full rig etc? I DI from a pre amp pedal so need an amp for my cab for onstage monitoring. Cheers 🤘
