I'm very intrigued about all this. Two comments: - Thinking that the 2101 would sound like a Triaxis is like wishing a Hyundai ran like a BMW. Never gonna happen no matter what. The way the 2101 tube distortion circuit is designed is quite different to the Triaxis circuitry. The sound wave generated by each one is quite different and this is something you can't solve (or replicate) with plain EQ. You may think it sounds somehow alike, but I assure you there is no way you can replicate a Triaxis Lead 2 red mode on a 2101. - More a question than anything else. Power amps really show their particular sonic character when crancked up and tubes begin getting saturated. At low power (volume), you should hardly hear a difference. When you guys talk about using a 2:90 or a 50:50 making a whole big difference to the 2101, I'm assuming you are refering to that situation; that is, using it crancked at high volumen, right? I use a Mesa 20:20 and I think it's a great thing, but most of the time (since I'm not gigging frequently) I use it at relatively low volume. So if you were to ask me: does it make a difference compared, for instance, to going directly to my console and my self- amplified Whaferdale monitors, I'd would answer: very minimal. I do think though that your whole setup can make a difference, and probably the most important factor would be your cab. Different cabinets can make you "perceive" a whole different character in your sound. Could you guys please comment on this so that we have a clearer picture of where you're coming from?
