You have to gun the power section a bit to get more sizzle as opposed to the fizz from the preamp and presence settings. Try taking a bit of presence off (where some of that fizz resides) then give it a bit more treble, to add some bite back in. The top end can be quite twitchy on this head, but it ...

Live is a very different beast to a controlled environment like a studio though to be honest. Like I said, have been using it live for the last couple of years and the thing is brutally good. But since isolating, it's just not cutting the mustard compared to other heads we've been a/b'ing it against...

Dude, you can use whatever cab you wish with the head. Just make sure the rating of the cab/speakers can handle the power you're gonna unleash on it. S1 has switchable ohm on the rear to help with this, but just don't expect it to sound as rich as S1 cab as it's got cheaper speakers voiced for a dig...

The Rockshop in Auckland over here in NZ, had the head for a fortnight and said there was nothing wrong. Which I had to smirk a little at :roll: As it doesn...

Hi there... I'm experiencing exactly the same problem as this. I've hooked up the GT-10 via the 4 cable method (all the leads and the fx work fine through the 5150 so no fault there) and I'm getting a mad amount of ground hum through both clean settings but not the crunch/OD channels. Which is highl...
