Consider the Gain knob as your Volume knob. The Fender magic 6's seem to work well on the Fender models as a starting point (gain at 6,treble at 6, mid at 3 and bass on 2 or 3) Remember, with the tonelab, the Fender and Vox models never had a master volume, so keep the Virtual gain maxed or close to it to suck all that goodness from the tube. Its great clean or dirty and best right in between. Thats the best model in the unit in my book. If I were seeking a Bluesy tone with some rough edges with the blackface model, I'd turn up the gain, turn up the mid real high and down real low on the bass to keep it from crumbling. The cleanest model on there is the boutique clean, which is a Dumble I believe. ![]() The blackface will keep it cleaner and brighter. The AC-30 is perfect for getting a little hot tone a la Paisley. What are the artists you like playing through? What equipment do they use? Do your favorite Blues artists use Fender bassman amps (tweed 4x10)? Or do you like guys that use Twin Reverbs (blackface 2x12)? Tube screamers? (tube overdrive on the pedal knob)įor Country tones, I pretty my go back and forth between the AC-30 and the Blackface models. I do often track down a favorite players rig and try and re-assemble it with my tonelab to see if I can get in the ball park. Which takes me back to the reasons why other's patches don't work: different equipment and different taste. Once I did download MANY user made patches for some computer modeling software, but most all of it was horrible. So if I'm going to have to fiddle with all the settings anyways, I might as well just start from scratch. They were made with someone else's taste and someone else's equipment. And the main reason that I avoid them is they weren't made with my guitar in mind. I find that the ones that ship with the units are too effects heavy for my taste. ![]()
