I am happy to say I am making PROGRESS!! Woohoo! I have finally tracked down what that intangible "something" was that has been irritating me for years and have tried pretty much everything to cure.
It is quite simple. The G-Major. Ouch. I read on the Triaxis Yahoo Group about the less than stellar converters in the G-Major and did my own test. I am running direct into my high end sound card - no ADC/DAC problems to speak of there. Running the direct sound through SPDIF to G-major - again no ADC/DAC issues that way. In other words, as pure a signal as possible with my current setup. Then I run a wet/dry mix internally through the sound card and out through to the outboard mixer and speakers. Light and day. Clear. Punchy. My goodness. No wonder I have never been happy. It was like I had guessed some kind of technical issue. I even went to the trouble of testing all my guitar/audio cables for shorts and continuity, cleaned every single contact (that took two days) and after all that (to add further frustration) it seems the remaining working channel on the power amp seems to be dying with the signal cutting in and out. I can't afford to retube as yet and so was left with the only option - recording outs on the Triaxis. Glad it worked out that way really for I may not have connected things like this otherwise. Maharzan. I recommend you join the Triaxis Yahoo Group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Triaxis if you haven't already done so. In addition, I suggest you check out this page for the only PC preset editor available on the net (that I can find) and for a great collection of presets which you can dump out to the unit: http://www.tonymckenzie.com/triaxis3.htm I meant to inform of these earlier but I have been oh so busy!  More later when I have had a chance to further explore the sonic possibilities finally opening up before me!  [EDIT] >> I have always run the G-Major in series with the Triaxis. With my recent experiences it may be beneficial to run it instead through the FX loop ... when playing as a guitar rig. Never really did an A/B comparison and I can't now really anyway given the tubes on the power amp are dying. This post has been edited by Neurologi: Oct 2 2009, 01:24 PM -------------------- My gear?

Ok. Here is a quick and dirty sample of the sound I am currently working with. It has been much pain and suffering to get to this point but I feel I am almost there. Feedback much appreciated.

Number of downloads: 283[EDIT] >> Looks like I should post this somewhere else. Noone is bothering with it ...

Hmm.. so many setups..
 I still yet to fool around with mine. haven't really explored much. I am awaiting GForce very soon. That might add some flavor to my set up. |

QUOTE (Neurologi @ Oct 26 2009, 05:10 PM)  I would feel naked without at least some flavor from the G-Major. I am sure you will feel much the same way once you get your G-Force ... Oh yeah, very very true, at least 5khz cut.

Oh no, not talking about EQ, this cut is last in effect chain, next to output.

QUOTE (Neurologi @ Oct 27 2009, 06:21 PM) Ah ok. A G-Force specific thing. I just found a webpage briefly describing the inbuilt speaker filters. I am not all too familiar with the differences to the G-Major so it was news to me. Good to know but not applicable to my situation .... No wonder it didn't sound right cause I already have some speaker simulation going on in my DAW! Ahh right, you have G Minor, it's Maharzan who is getting G Force, I confused everyone, like I always do.

QUOTE (Neurologi @ Oct 27 2009, 06:45 PM) Haha. Also the fact that I actually have a G-Major ...  Crap, G Minor is a controller, I meant G Major  Btw, they should try with new models like G Dim, G Aug etc.
