    Question about Ernie ball Musicman guitars

    I believe that is the case, yes. The pickups on these guitars are direct mounted to the body, not installed into pickup rings. I've also looked into the possibility of adjusting the height of my Majesty pickups (also direct mount), and the answer I found was "not possible." That said, I only...

    Speaker Impedance Curves - Loadbox

    I think Cliff added these loadbox curves primarily to enable users to more accurately compare their amps through a load box to the corresponding model in the Axe.

    Yes, but my point was, if it loads with the 6L6 tubes, it’s almost certainly (unless it’s a mistake somewhere) modeling the 6L6 amp. I believe there are other changes beyond just the power tubes to get to the EL34 or Stealth versions.

    Funny! In lieu of having my go-to DynaCabs in CL4 (Recto Straight and Rumble 12L), I was playing with the AC20 and stumbled upon a very similar sweet spot. Usually, a 57 in the dead center is not a good tone (IMO), but the AC20 cab works with centered 57 very well.

    Along this line, since the horizontal axis is different between the hardware and CL4, you have to recreate your DynaCabs by ear. The horizontal axis on the hardware is 0 to 10 (Cap to Edge). CL4 increments by cm (or inches) from 0cm (cap) to 12.7cm (edge) for a 12" speaker. So you have to...

    Citrus RV50 "Cut"

    If you like that effect but want to refine it a bit for your own tastes, you can use the Input and Output EQs in the Amp block. I think the Cut filter is applied at the output, so tweaking the Output EQ will be closer to that effect. Tweaking the Input EQ can feel like throwing a boost in front.
  53. frankenbeans

    @Variable have you tried resetting your system settings? I know that might be a PITA, but it fixes an issue for me when every guitar of mine was clipping. After I did that reset, I can run my Majesty with the boost engaged without clipping.

    If you won't lose too much, try reseting your System Parameters. I was having a similar problem, where even my low output guitars were clipping, and reseting the system settings helped. It wasn't a big deal for me since Input Sensitivity is really the only setting I adjust.

    The Rumble EVM12L is incredible. I’m using the ribbon and condenser. Condenser is very slightly off center and pulled back like 10cm. Ribbon is centered and pulled back like 6cm.
