    Why cant I get clean punchy Low end on any Fender style amp

    It definitely has a LOT to do with the IR. Even in the videos from Gary he stated he uses 3rd party IR's. I wish he would share which he uses. it tough to find a suitable IR in a bank of 1000's

    Why cant I get clean punchy Low end on any Fender style amp

    One thing I tried that helped a ton is I dropped the input trim to .70. Sounds great with that. It’s strange that single coils would have to be dropped that much to clean up the signal. My pickups aren’t overly hot. They are hand wound 50’s singles in a custom shop strat.
