USA Pre Questions WRT which channels are modeled....

[Joe Bfstplk]

Started building some Mesa presets today. Came up with a couple questions on the Triaxis modes modeled....

1. USA Pre Clean = Triaxis Rhythm Green or Yellow?
   
   
2. Also noticed that only the Lead 1 Red mode is represented (Recto), and the two Mk I Lead 1 modes (classic Green and gain boost Yellow) are not represented. Is there a generally-accepted model to use for getting Mk I sounds, or does it not exist (yet)?

Got a great Triaxis 4-sound preset built, just wondering about the above. I suspect the clean may be the Rhythm Yellow mode, based on how hard it was to get it to have enough level with my Strat, but it would be nice to know rather than suspect....

Check the wiki page. Full explanation there I think

Already checked that. It does not seem to mention which clean mode is modeled, or maybe I just missed it.

• USA Pre Clean: Rhythm/Green mode. It’s a vintage fat clean (Mark I, Blackface).
• USA Pre LD1 RED: classic Britishlead, basied on the Triaxis "TX-4 board"
• USA Pre LD2 GRN: medium Mark IV Lead
• USA Pre LD2 YLW: Mark IIC+ Lead
• USA Pre LD2 RED: “shred”

Oof. Silly me. I scrolled straight to the list of quotes and missed the list of models just above it. Running at a bit of a sleep deficit this week and my brain has turned to Swiss cheese....

After all these years, the work @yek did on those threads continues to be super useful.
