Anyone satisfied using the 4 Cable Method?

I am looking to hear from anyone that has tried the 4CM technique with the AF2, and loves it!

Preset Building: Tone Crafting

Love both these tones, the Triptik and the JCM800. My Tele sounds fantastic with JCM800 in particular... Also I've jumping ahead on the crunch/solo side of things a bit... The Plexi 50 High is so effing bad ass, my bass player, my tech and myself all stared at each other in utter dis-belief...

Why all the Metal??????

As far as tonality, I love the rich deep tones that some the Metal presets put out, but honestly.... wouldn't you rather hear 7 meaningful notes from those tones that tell a story, than 10,000 perfectly played notes that never take a breath? LOL, I'm starting to sound like my dad!

Why all the Metal??????

I have often wondered this as well... Fractal (Cliff) has designed in every amp imaginable into the AF2, so why all the metal? Of all the players I know, not one is a metal player, or even in to metal at all. Metal rules? What are we in Jr. High? lol

Alright, can't wait to try these settings! The versatility of the JCM800 at full FRFR room volume really surprised me!

Dialing in sound with band and EQ

Wow, I wished I lived in the "everybody is mic'd and individually dial-able" world. LOL My band is all cabs, all air, no mics (except lead vocal). Pretty loud, raw & high energy, but very nearly impossible to approach using this technique - but I sure wish we could though!

Preset Building: Tone Crafting

Enjoying this public workshop Clarky! So you ended up using the JCM800 as your hairy clean... For those of us that are following verbatim, how did you end up setting your Input Drive and MV for the JCM800? We're talking about the cleanest this preset will get right?

Sweet playing. no doubt! Being that I use a very similar instrument, I would be lying if I said I wasn't curious about your preset. Mind sharing? Again, a pleasure to listen and watch... thanks!

Selecting amps in the AMP block - default A, B and C knob expectations

is that the prescribed/intended way to default an amp block? I didn't catch it the manual or wiki.
