Triaxis Clean trouble

[tedsticle]

Hey everyone....first post here and will just say HI real quick.

I've been trying to tame the Triaxis for awhile now and another problem is giving me a headache.

I can't get a good clean sound without it giving a weird distorted flabby sound. I'm testing all my NEW tubes with the old ones 1 by 1 and no luck. The Poweramp has all new tubes as well....Could this be the problem? I plan on plugging straight into the power amp and see what that gives me.

I have the gain down to 2 and the master down to 1 with the rythm channel and I still here it clearly distorting, so like I said I'll see what the poweramp gives me. Does anyone have any advice for me please?

Does anyone have any advice for me please?

What about the Dynamic Voice?

Post your signal chain and all of your settings. What kind of guitar/pickups are you using? Are you running: guitar--> Triaxis---->poweramp--->speakers?

The triaxis has great cleans but it can be easy to screw it up with bad settings or a faulty piece of gear.

I have it down to the simplest chain right now....because im trial and error testing other gear(ISP DECIMATOR)...ETC

Anyways its guitar--->triaxis---->poweramp right now. The guitar I'm using is an esp with emg's.

I just plugged into the power amp...no triaxis, and everything seemed to be very clear by the way.

I'm thinking my compressor might clean things up...since it doesnt seem to be a tubes issue.

Maybe you have a really good setting and I could see what I get from it?

I sold my TA last month but have another one on the way. I don't have any settings for you but I suggest that you post yours.

dude something must be wrong you should not have any problem getting fabulous cleans from the Triaxis.....try this setting;

Rhythm Green

gain 6
treble 5
mid 3.5
bass 5
master 4.5
presence 3.5
dv 3

that should get you in the ball park....i'm not in front of my triaxis but i know this is close to some of my settings...if this does not work i'm at a loss.

With your gain that high, it's not surprising you're getting a flubby and distorted sound. Especially on Rhythm green, which is much looser and bassier than yellow. Kick the gain down and see how you make out.

that wasn't the gain of the original poster !!!

 

[darkalone]

Ah my mistake.

Still... seems a little high.

I talked with Rich from Boogie today and we figured out it's a poweramp problem, and NOT tubes. Tomorrow I'm opening the amp and checking for burnt wires inbetween the transformer and circuit board.

Yeah, I tried those settings and they were a little extreme. It doesnt matter though since the Triaxis doesnt seem to be the problem. Plugging straight into each channel of the 2:90 stills sounds distorted and thats why we eliminated tubes being the problem. The tubes are only 3 months old anyways.

to each their own on the settings I suppose....I know for me what I like about the settings I posted above is that it allows the player to drift between a very clean tone and a little dirt depeding on the dynamics of the player and how the strings are being attacked....at those settings I have no problem with obtaining a very pleasing clean tone.

 

[tedsticle]

I think your absolutely right, but thats the problem I'm having. Chords or a hard attack and my amp distorts very badly.

I hear ya Masque. I like a variety of tones. I like my cleans SUPER clean, but sometimes I do find need for just a touch of grit. I honestly use the Lead 1s for this setting. I'll have to tinker with the rhythms.

yeh me too....I have messed some with the lead 1's as well for that ability to dance between really clean and gritty depending on my attack....the key is finding that delicate balance with the triaxis that allows you to increase your attack and not get the overloaded flabby distortion. the triaxis can be "cranky" and "uncooperative" at times!!!
