Well, just got back from the musicstore were I tried the MP/Framus. Played with a LP Standard with Burstbucker pro`s. To be quite honest I was a bit disappointet. The MP didn`t sound anything like the youtubedemo with Ben. It lacked that sparkly glassy overdrive I was hoping for. Compared to my Diezel Einstein the MP sounded weak and muddy and without bottom. Maybe it was the cab, maybe it was a bad tube? I dont know. Next amp to try is the Suhr Badger, which I have high expectations for.
If you go to the Fargen website and click on the power scaling link under the Mini Plex it shows some settings.
I owned a a MiniPlex MKII and found it to be very speaker picky. I didn't care for the V-30's to be honest... G12M Greenbacks sounded pretty good though. I was surprised to read you thought it lacked bottom-end. Mine had too much bottom-end and always was a bit too boomy/bassy for my taste!
I`m gonna give it another try tomorrow working a bit more with adjusting the power scaling. Hopefully I can dial in that fabelous plexisound being more aware of the scaling settings.
I also noticed the speaker issue. I`m gonna try different cabs!
Thank you!
I'd start by trying to dial it in at full power.
As you turn up the power scaling you'll need to turn down the preamp and master volumes to compensate. If you leave them where they were on full... ugliness will happen.
