    Input 1 gate vs using a Decimator.

    I remember a post by @FractalAudio saying not to use the input gate, specifically the noise reducer plus the gate block, is this still considered "best practise"? Obviously whatever works for each person and gives them the result they want is the solution they need rather than maybe what should...

    The Greatest Recto Tone Ever?

    Is that the same Marshall you used a few years ago when you played a few Carcass riffs through GGD Cali OS to showcase the plugin? If so I can attest that it sounded phenomenal.

    Plexi “fatcap” as found in Eddie’s amp… does the “fat” switch simulate this?

    I'm sure the fat switch is located on the tone stack and shifts the mid/treble frequencies down. The fat cap on Eddie's amp is different and is a cathode bypass capacitor on v2a on a Marshall Super Lead and basically allows most of the entire frequency range through the gain stage, rather than...

    Why do you use a power amp with your axe fx?
