There's also a setting that can route both the right and left signals to a single output. If you're running mono turn that on otherwise for stereo delays and such you're losing half the signal.

Do you not use your Axe Fx any more? I am curious why you are letting go of the 1540L?!

Pardon my french
Some people at the fractal forums are very happy with the new 300W rocktron, will likely give it a try too, but I must sell something before I can afford it, buying the axefx sort of left my wallet quite thinner.
Axefx is in the post atm, will try it with my current mesa 20:20, will likely be good for mesa sounds and not-so-good for the rest.

The only reason i am letting go of the 1540L Is because I want to give the Fratomic FRFR setup a try and selling what i have is probably the only way to get the girls approval on the purchase. I have a feeling I am not going to like it but I just want to give it a shot to try out some of the redwirez cab models etc.
If not Happy I will probably go back to a 1540L as I can not think of any other Power amp that would work better for my situation. I have no complaints about it at all and I am very happy with my sound. I am also a whore and like to explore new things.

Im looking for a poweramp mainly for live use which is why im considering the Mesa 2:90.
What are the pros and cons of Carvin tube power amps? I have no idea how they r
Can they do the whole "chugga chugga" type of tone well? In the vein of Loomis' solo album or Killswitch Engage?

Oh yea dude it will nail that for sure. I know it seems hard to believe but really anything is at your disposal as long as you learn the unit. I mean just the ability to add your own cabinet impulses into the unit adds tons of flexibility to the unit.
Awesome thanks man. Im gonna be spending countless hours tweaking the fuck out of that thing when i get it

Does anyone have any good recommendations for interfaces that work well with the Axe-FX? I've seen the list of ones that work well on the Fractal forums. I have the garbage Fast Track sitting around, but I'd really prefer something that would enable me to use the digital outputs of the Axe-FX.

If there's already a list on the Fractal forum, why are you asking here? Anything that has a S/PDIF input should work well for what you want to do.

The list on Fractal is just "Works" or "Doesn't work". I wanted addition incite from SS users about their good or bad experiences using their Axe with different interfaces.

I use a M-Audio Fast Track Pro, midi on it works great with axe-edit. Sound good enough. I do wanna get a bigger interface with more ins/outs someday though.

So I got my Axe-Fx Ultra today and I'm dying to set it up and start playing with it. I have a question though.
I plan on using the Axe with a Carvin DCM 600 power amp, and a Peavey XXX 4x12 cabinet. The power amp has the option of running in stereo or mono, originally I had thought that my cabinet was just mono, but apparently it has the option of stereo as well. So should I run stereo or mono, and how do I do so?

Should be.
Do you have any reason to run it in stereo? If not, run it in mono.

Not as far as I know, I will be using it for live shows but as far as I know mono is what people do.
If I am setting it up mono, on the back of the Axe-fx there is the section Output 1 which has left and right, which one do I go out of, and which input do I go into on the back of the Carvin?
Sorry I know these are probably really obvious questions but I am a total noob at this, and don't want to mess either the power amp or the axe fx up.

Either output since they're both the same, and probably input 1 on the Carvin. You should probably flip through the manual to be sure, though.

The manual for the Carvin?

Yes.
