Here's the clean sound of my '64 Super-Reverb, as recorded in a small club (Baked Potato in LA) with a cell phone - even so, you can still hear the fidelity and finesse of the high end. It is rather embarrassing that the camera is on my mug the whole time, but this was not my video

Is that just direct into the amp? Are you running any pedals there? It sounds great!
Yeah you can here the compressor working away in that clips, it sounds great.For that gig, I used a GT-10 into the Super (not room for much else on that tiny stage). I have long been fond of Boss compression, and I'm using some of that on these clean sounds....

I get the feeling that the Boss compression uses pre-emphasis of the high end to make the high notes squash a little more than the low notes, thereby avoiding excessive muddiness/low end buildup - I believe the DynaComp and Ross compressors do the same... Regardless, I believe it is rather difficult to reproduce the smooth Boss compression - Line 6's Boss comp models are just awful!
I haven't tried using the AxeFx compressor's sidechain, SCSEL. I wonder if you could split a row in the grid and put a filter block in front of the sidechain to simultate that preemphasis?

Yes. that would work. But, there is a filter parameter that already does that for the lows.
A multiband compressor can be even more targeted.

I didn't recall a builtin filter on the compressor block.

The treble pre-emphasis helps to minimize low end 'thumping' as well, but also adds more sustain to to the higher (and weaker) notes, which need it the most....
