    For FW8 do I need re load Day cabs if I already have them loaded?

    When the update includes the dyna cabs and does not mention anything in the notes-which I actually read :D this leads to dyna flippin confusion and more questions on the forum!

    FM3 live tone vid from last night

    It is the modded JCM 800 and dynacab with 2 ribbon mics I believe I have a real Karma MT-10 OD into the front that really gives a clear punchy push that makes a huge difference in the finished tone.

    What is the easiest way to get back to Home screen live?

    Last Sat I waited until the end of the song to hit the home (pretty sure) to return to the scenes and home screen within that mode -the goal. I posted this thread to confirm because I could ne remember what I did that night amidst the mayhem mid set :p Thanks!

    How to make lower gain Plexi pre set sound full?

    If I was going that route I would take a real head and board which I will still do at most gigs The goal here is to dial in a pre set that sounds killer in the FOH and my in ears. The majority of the audience only hears what comes out of the PA anyways

    Friedman amp models -does one have the Plexi ch?

    Do any of the Friedman amp models have the best part of any of Dave's amps -the Plexi ch. In the Smallbox, BE and JEL amps ch 1 is the coveted modded Plexi tone. As far as a I have seen there are no ch 1 options in the Friedman models If there is one which model might have it?

    Tips for dialing live tones with PA versus desk monitor bedroom tone

    My studio has a lot of foam and hanging 4 x 4 wall coverings to dampen tone. The bedroom does not and is very bright but I notice it more from a less tight and almost distorted way for lack of better description than overly bright which is what I would expect.
