morgano Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) I believe I might have a problem with a piece of kit, but I would be interested to hear some other musicians' feedback, just to check whether I am going mad or not! Below are three very short WAV files of some chords being strummed, played through my Line 6 HD500X into 3 different powered speakers, all mic'd up with a high quality mic. It's not particularly relevant to the test, but the patch on the HD500X is a Fender Bassman amp sim, with a Tube screamer pedal in front, with no appreciable overdrive being used. The guitar is a Variax, in Strat mode, bridge pickup. I played the same couple of chords through each powered speaker and recorded it. The volume level is moderate. Can anyone hear anything wrong with one of the clips? I know the tone (EQ) is different on each one, that's not a problem, but without giving too much away I am hearing distortion on one of them that I don't think should be there....

MoonBassAlpha Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 Yup, one of them does sound a bit pants in the lower register Quote
morgano Posted November 18, 2014 Author Posted November 18, 2014 Which one? I can hear distortion in one of them - like a vibraslap after each chord.... Quote
