StarkrimsonDuo/Trio amps utilize gallium nitride (GaN) technology to achieve ultra-high performance in an easy-to-use package that will easily blend into any dcor. Starkrimson amplifiers represent the pinnacle of state-of-the-art (SOTA) hi-fi audio power. These amplifiers were designed with a clear vision: to deliver an authentic, lifelike musical journey. Every intricate detail is preserved, forging a deep emotional connection to the music.

Nowhere is this incoherence more pronounced than in the bass, which in many contemporary horn systems is often handled by a cone subwoofer. Seamlessly matching a cone sub to an ultra-fast, ultra-clean, ultra-high-sensitivity horn via conventional means is about as tough a task as you can set for yourself in high-end audio. Even the best direct-radiating cone subs will seem slightly sluggish off the line compared to the super-charged engine of the horn-loaded drivers.


The new Trio-G2, like the old one I reviewed almost two decades ago in Fi magazine, is a classic horn loudspeaker, which is to say that there is no built-in digital correction of its drivers or their alignment. If you leave out the humongous stack of Basshorns that supplies low end below about 100Hz (we will come to this anon), in appearance the new Trio-G2 looks identical to the old one: three, progressively larger spherical horns (injection-molded from low-resonance ABS plastic) hanging from a spare but sturdy, lattice-like framework of steel supports, like a spray of three different-sized magnolia blossoms. Thanks to this flower-like look (and the multitude of colors the horns come in), the Avantgarde Trio was, is, and remains one of the most strikingly beautiful loudspeakers in the world.


Third, the spherical horns have a new mounting mechanism. Where all three used to be directly attached to the drivers via bolts, they are now screwed on by means of a damping ring and a spring mechanism capable of extremely high pressure and an air-tight seal, rather like the lid on a jar of preserves. Damping the intersection of cone and horn is said to result in considerably lower resonance.

Hi Folks. I've been gigging with an LT since 2016, but I've always been one of two "melodic" (I could use a better term) instruments, either another guitar or keys. Now I've joined a neighborhood cover band (no studio work, just live shows) where it'll be drums, bass, guitar (me), and a non-playing singer. By nature I'm not an equipment tweaker (more of a just-the-basics type), and until now I've made do with a small set of general presets (clean, crunch, saturated; American, Brit, etc.) with a few stomps that give me enough flexibility to fill my role. But with my new position as sole guitarist, I'd like to better leverage the Helix's power.


I'd love to get your thoughts on where I could stretch a little and apply the Helix to this situation. For example, I have a slight reverb on all patches (a recommendation I found here) but I don't use dual cabs, fancy paths (other than a continuation on the second line to get more CPU), multiple amps at once, delays, etc. Thanks!


As for the thickness of sound, you have the ADT simulation, it always makes your sound bigger and more stereophonic. Plus now it's easy to have dual cabs, so you can have a big stereo sound. For me, I often just use stereo ping-pong delay in parallel, not timed to the tempo of the song. That just makes you sound bigger. I also play a lot with contrasting sounds: very wet, vs. completely dry. These sudden changes make your songs really interesting and diverse in sound.


If a simple chord with rolled back guitar vol sounds great without FX in context with the bass - rich with good sustain - then the next step is not to collide with the singer too much (treble vs presence trait off).


I played in a power trio for many years, but took a somewhat different approach. I used a 12-string, but didn't double the top two strings. Then I could bend them for leads. The guitar sounded really full for rhythm, and the leads sounded like a 6-string.


Wait, what? A power trio with a fourth "non-playing singer"? Unless the singer is an incredible front person with a killer voice and also writes great songs....get a singer that can play rhythm guitar. Sorry to be so harsh, but pretend I'm your manager and want to see you succeed.


You dont want to hear the chorus. Just get it to the point it comes in and adds depth to the amp. The sound should be larger and more dynamic now. Playing an E chord the high B-E should ring line rain in the mountains.


Interesting topic. I think you nailed it here. The arrangements will go a long way towards making a power trio work. There is going to be more "space" in the music with fewer players, so use it to good effect. Space in the right places can sound dramatic. Listen to some of the trios you think get a great full sound and do what they do (with or without an additional singer who doesn't play an instrument), e.g. ZZ Top, Budgie, Black Sabbath, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, Cream, The Doors, etc. - your choices may differ. Sorry, all the three-piece bands that leapt to mind were old school. Might want to find some more recent acts that are taking advantage of newer tech. Work on the arrangements and the rest will follow.


Just getting a big robust guitar tone is a great starting point. Recognizing that there won't be any other instrument to reinforce your sound other than bass & drums. Any effect that adds depth such as distortion, chorus, flanger, phaser, delay, reverb, etc., can thicken your sound. Anything that essentially spoofs another guitar as @theElevatorsmentioned such as doubler, octaver, harmonizer. Running them in stereo and panning the delayed or shifted sound to one side can give the illusion of two guitars. Jack White made a two-piece sound huge with nothing but hairy fuzz riffage and an octaver. Looping, freezing, pads, MIDI triggering can all provide another guitar/instrument part. Tapping in tempos can provide a sort of call and answer vibe.


You might work your pickup selector, tone, and volume knobs on your guitar more frequently than you used to, for more variety in your tone. If you use a whammy, that can add motion as can other techniques on the fretboard. Although not necessary, anything that changes the tone, dynamics, tempo, or feel of the tune (you know, the obligatory reggae vamp), can keep things more interesting. Tell your lead singer to jump around more, you have less personnel to fill larger stages :-)


Good info @honestopinion. I guess I think of a power trio as three band members only. The Police was one the most amazing (and more recent) trios I've seen live. Andy Summers didn't play dense and heavy guitar, but the interplay between the three was amazing to withhold. Of course, Sting is no slouch. Or Stewart Copeland for that matter. Dang, also also saw Jimi Hendrix Experience and Cream live. THAT was dense and heavy. My ears still ring...


Jazz is a whole nutha level, but a reminder that the music does not have to be heavy or busy. The key is to have a drummer and bass player that lay down such a solid groove that the guitarist (or sax, organ, violin, etc) is free to riff without having to worry about "filling in."
