Changing amp feel....which parameter?

I know this must have been explained somewhere but just too lazy too look right now. Sooo.....if I want to make the Bogner Ecstasy Red channel feel tighter for example, what would I need to do? Is it just the Sag, a mix of that or something else?

The VH4 ch 3 and the Herbert ch 2+ have been quite the discovery for me. These two models are extremely similar and the only difference im noticing is the feel. The Diezels seem to have everything I love about the SLO model but are much much easier to dial in. The problem with the SLO is that...

On controlling output clipping...

Should i just focus on the levelontrol in the amp block? I see some people only bring the level down to at most -26 dbs. Is there anything wrong with going lower than that? Or should I use the global level control also?

Im REALLY liking this patch. Who said the SLO is a one trick pony...no way! Amazing plexi style crunch sound...very versatile. Another thing Ive noticed in FW10 with the SLO lead channel is that my pregain is super low now.....3 is already too much....2 to 2.5 perfect.

Pardon my ignorance if I just realized this.....

Low volume or extremely low volume playing sounds better (bigger) scooping the Mids High volume playing sounds better (IMO) cranking the Mids At least for the styles I play. I should have realized this earlier, its probably why the V eq shape is so popular in home stereos and such.

Tone Match question

I keep seeing on the AXEchange of TMA presets to turn off the TMA block in order to try different cabs. So....Even if I turn off the TMA block the amp is still tonematched? I was under the impression that for the tonematching to be possible the block had to be on. Can anyone clarify this?
