Hey guys, as many of you have probably done at one time or another, I sat down today and played around with some amp models that I haven't used before. I have had my AX8 long enough now that I have solid presets made for the sounds that I need live, but I wanted to jump down the proverbial rabbit hole for a while and see what tones I was missing out on.
That leads me to my question: What do you think are some of the most underrated or underutilized amp models and why? I play in a 90s rock cover band so I gravitate toward the FAS Class A, Hiwatt, and Princeton RV for clean/crunch and the JCM800 Mod, Orange AD30, and Captain Hook for higher gain. I am a rhythm player, so lead tone is not my forte. I really enjoyed playing around with the FAS HotRod today and because I don't necessarily try to emulate specific amp tones, I have really enjoyed a lot of the FAS models. Just a lot of interesting tones out there. Thoughts?
