Lack of bottom end with power amp and cab
Hi all. I have used my QC exclusively for the last 3 years and stated using it with power amp and cab in the last year. I recently played through a JC120 and Princeton Reverb. The first thing that stood out was the bottom end in those amps, and I realized I don’t get that with the QC. I get a nice sound for sure, but it lacks the bass response and fullness that I felt in the other amps.
For my setup, I’m using QC with some captures mainly from amalgam with no cab sim or IR on going out to output 3 where it goes into an Orange Pedal Baby running into a 212 cab loaded with a V30 and a Creamback.
I hadn’t heard any real amps in a long time and was surprised at the lack of bottom that I’ve been missing. Has anyone else experienced this or know the best way to set up QC for a real cab? Thanks!
