bigedawg said:Very Interesting. The "Low-Mid" cloud is something I've been struggling with for quite some time. My base patches are centered around replicating the tone of my '70 SF Deluxe and '92 Matchless HC30 (Scott, thanks for the keys to dialing in the Matchless tone). while I've been able to dial up decent tone in the Ultra (Blackface and Boutique1), as soon as I start A/B'ing what I've dialed up to the actual amp, the actual amp's tone has an openness to it that the fractal just doesn't give, and to my ear, it's centered in the low/mid frequency range. After endlessly tweaking the presence freq, thump, warmth, eq center frequency... I finally settled on using a PEQ in front of the amp block and notched it out. I'll give the thump & warmth tip a try.
BTW-I'm using an Utra FW 9, Atomic Reactor FR w/redwirez IRs. Prior to the reactor, I used an ART SLA-2 into marsh 4x12 (25watt) or matchless 4x10 open back cab.

I've got the BEST Matchless tone I've gotten now; including when I had my Matchless amps. I'll start a new 'tweak' thread about that. In fact this v9.x Matchless tone is my favorite tone. It's huge. Standby, work to do first (real life) then I'll start a new thread later about it...
