Your videos are both educational AND entertaining. I always find cool tips to enhance my AX8, even when I'm not looking for them.
Your recent topic about getting a great MESA Rectifier tone is case in point. I'm not even a fan of that amp, but in the vid you pointed out that turning up the master volume doesn't always result in better tone. (As a Marshall guy, I pretty much always turn them up just to watch the tubes melt.)
I decided to try turning down the master with all of the the other amp models I use, and found that in just about EVERY case the amp sounded way better and much punchier with less master volume.
I know that this isn't a new idea, Yek mentions it all through the the Amp Guide and the good folks here at Fractal talk about it too. Hammerheads like me just need constant reminding sometimes...
Thank you again!!!
