Anything is possible. I've installed and reinstalled 4 times going back and forth to 2.0. Each time, I seem to get a little closer to what I need in 2.01. This last time I made a series of recordings and it's sort of like I explained it in my other post.
I think I've just been lucky with these amps and I made them work for me in 2.0. Now that Cliff made them "right" they may not be for me. After further testing (I had a slow day today and worked on this stuff from 11 am until 6 pm) the amps in 2.01 literally sound more tubey than 2.0...but there is just this high end harshness that I can't control. They actually have more of a British Marshall...like literally the ones that you buy in England. I've always felt they were a little more harsh as well as louder than the US versions.
The break-up is better in 2.01...it just breaks up with a bit of something brittle that I'm still working on. I'm really bent on getting this the way I need it. Part of the brittle sound is due to the gain being a little lower. When you turn the gain up a bit, the harshness is less yet when you turn up the gain (I only use 4.50) it trips over itself and the lows seem loose. Tomorrow I'm going to experiment with less gain, turn boost on, and compress a bit more to make things tighter. I also made some gains with messing with some stuff I had never messed with before.
As for the AFS2, Cliff....there must have been something weird with my FW install. The last time I messed with this amp right before rehearsal, all it needed was a little more gain and a little lower number on the harmonic knob to make it sound the way I need it. So I'm good with that one. I just gotta get the 800 mod where I need it...I'm close! I'm excited to try and figure it out tomorrow.
If I figure anything out that makes sense to you guys having a few issues with these two amps, I will post my findings as well as a video in a new thread. I really think we are so used to these things being wrong, now that they are right....they are no longer right for us. But the AFS2 should be ok with a little work. I *may* have to just re-tone match on that and it will be perfect.
