Anyone know what's coming down the road, just looking for something to look forward to while I click away at work.
I have a hunch FW19 will be coming down the road...
I'm really hoping Cliff gets his hands on a PRS Archon schematic..that might be the only amp I still have some GAS for..
Start with the Diezel VH4 Silver model (ch's 3 & 4) and you're half way there.
I'll have to give that a try sometime, however, I wouldn't know exactly how to dial it in since I've never owned the amp.
This next part may be somewhat of a confession, but I don't really tweak patches..ever since I got my Axe Fx I've basically been playing it stock out of the box with very minimal tweaking, and it sounds killer!
Ah, gotcha, and nothing really wrong with playing the stock patches either, but this thing really comes alive when you learn how to shape with it.
Both the VH4 and Archon respond with very tight, articulate high gain. I'd say start with the "silver" because the blue is IMO a lot deeper. Ch.3 Silver should be verrry close to the Archon as-is.
If you want an easy place to experiment, I'd say try swapping out the VH4 ch.3 Silver's tonestack to, say, the 5150 block's or Herbert's for a more raw sound, one of the recto's if you want more fizz, etc. You might end up preferring the stock tonestack, but you never know.
Gotta' ditch the training wheels sooner or later
I definitely agree.
And maybe a few things on Cliffs "to do" list...like the Peavey 5150 green channel.
