Triaxis and Rocktron Prophesy II Usage

[Spoons]

Is any one using the Triaxis in a Rocktron Prophesy II loop?

I can't say I've tried it but I have a lot of experience with Rocktron equipment. I've owned the Prophesy2, Voodu Valve, still own a Replifex, Intellifex, and Intelliverb. The reason I unloaded the P2 is simply the sound quality was very digital and grating and on the ears as a stand alone processer (i think the amp sims , and the the delays were lacking. Also, as far as warmth and overall sound quality, the Voodu Valve blows it away (second gen Tube Series US made unit, it's the best one) . The P2 was pretty good in an effects loop of my Quad preamp, but it seems like you got more quantity than quality for the big pricetag. If you want quality effects from Rocktron the Replifex is the way to go, very transparent. The one difference from the Rocktron stuff I kept is the DA converters are are far better than the newer Korean made stuff (Prophesy 2, made in ROK). I also found that running the Replifex and Intellifex in series was more effective than using the loops.

Well I just got done hooking up the Triaxis in the Prophesy 2 loop and it seems to work pretty so far, no obvious tone suck at all. The speaker simulator is really Really, REALLY nice compared to what I have been using in my old GT-6. The four Prophesy preamps also sound pretty good compared to my GT-6 (not much real comparison there). A lot of the Prophesy factory patches seem to be really effect laden and some are useless, as expected; example - the ORGAN GRINDER patch sounds kind neat but when is a guitar player really going to use something like that. I'm going to spend a couple of hours tomorrow afternoon cleaning some of the effect laden patches up a little bit and then I will certainly no more. I am also going to try some of the Prophesy effects with the Triaxis; so far the chorus and a touch of reverb sound really nice with my Triaxis clean tone.

More to come.

When I owned ther Prophesy2, I remember liking the ADSR feature in tandem with the rotary or wah. You could make the speed of the rotary change with your pick attack and get a pretty good triggered wah effect as well. Try tweaking a couple of patches with the ADSR controlling the effects, probably the the most unique feature of the P2

I will certainly be trying that out! There is some pretty cool stuff packed inside that little box.

Hey guys, this thread looks pretty old, but I have a TC G Major 2 that I used to run in the loop of my DC-5 and it sounded awesome!

Now, I've got a Prophesy 2 (but will NEVER give up my DC-5) and running the G Major 2 in the loop is awful. The sound is a bit colored, even with all effects are off and the BYPASS button enabled. It does sound truly transparent when I hit the G Maj 2 MUTE button, but obviously that's no good.

The second thing is that there's almost ZERO effected signal. I can BARLEY hear the wonderful mods, delays, univibe etc. If it makes any difference (which it might) I have the 'loop' at post position 1 which does not have the option of mixing Dry vs Effected signal.

Anyway, Spoons said he ran the Triaxis in the loop and it sounded great. Tips? Suggestions?

I do love the preamps available in the Prophesy 2, but the delays are not even Stereo, and imho, there is no match for the TC Tri-chorus when run in stereo.

HELP PLEASE!!!
