Chaos how much you find (if any) tone is change by connecting thru 4CM with the MPX-G2? I used to do that but I felt it tooked away the life of my MP1.
EC, after following the MPX-G2 manual (see below) I have not encountered any tone sucking, coloration or alteration at all with the G2 and the Triaxis.
With the quality of gear we´re using, I also don´t like to spend $$$ on the initial gear pieces and then try to save on such trivial things as cables (e.g. Bulk-Pack Colored Patch Cables with telephone thin-like wires in them)
That being said, I also use high-qual patch cables, mostly self-made with Sommer Cable Spirit XXL, Sommer Cable Goblin, Mogami,....and Neutrik or (more often) HiCon ends.
This allows me to also tailor the cable length to the absolute minimum necessary....
Go to page 18 and following of the
Lexicon MPX-G2 ManualThere´s a very detailed and comprehensive step-by-step description/tutorial on how to set and match the gain levels of the MPX-G2 and the preamp it is being connected with using the 4-cable-method.
This takes some time but it is necessary to fully benefit from all the option the MPX-G2 offers when hooked up this way without compromising or altering the dedicated preamps´ tone.
Furthermore, here´s a
