Thank you guys I tried running rig out no cab first I finally hooked the output on the 11r to my effects return on the h&k that definitely helped with the scooped sound by bypassing the pre amp on my head I'm running the 11r into the effects return of my tubemeister 36 and out of the tubemeister into a 4x12 cab miked under the stage with a blanket on top for noise not loving the tone I'm getting so far and I've tried turning the can sims off but I know this thing is capable of amazing guitar tone that's why I bought it lol and I was tired of tap dancing on my 12 + pedals
