Okay, so I have a bit of a weird request here which is: what is the best approach for simulating an amp that has dying tubes and is incorrectly biased?
In short, I used a friends Carvin Legacy for a recent single of mine and it is not exactly in ‘ good working condition’. The amp would have to be played through for a couple of minutes before the volume would normalize and also a couple of the tubes in the preamp were mismatched and not biased correctly.
As a result, the amp had a crazy amount of sludgy low end but with also some extremely sweet high end harmonics.
I’m trying to dial it in the best I can in my Axe Fx, but it’s been awhile since I’ve messed with the advanced parameters to this degree so any direction would be appreciated. Thank you!
