Guys,
I've been a amp modeling guy for a VERY long time & just love the compression, sustain & tightness of a Hot Rodded Marshall type tone.
While I've had a few very cool tube amps (5153, Legacy, etc), I'm very much use to what an amp modeling device does & I like that it sounds like as a finished/processed/end tone with FX, just like on a recording.
I find the AX8 can be almost TOO AMP LIKE at times from what I'm use to hearing.
This is where you guys might laugh at me, but I have a real question here & I might not be using the right terminology either.
How do I get a more compressed amp tone? I just want to know if there's a magic knob in the power section or if it's too much of the Depth control or what I can do to get a less raw/tube amp like tone?
I love the Raw Amp tones, but my ears are just not use to them & I want to dial in that sweet spot where Raw meets a more processed/compressed or tighter tone.
Sorry if I'm not doing a great job explaining all of this & I'd love to talk with anyone that gets what I'm saying here. I'm only talking about for distorted amp tones & not clean tones at this time.
Thanks in advance for the help & info.
