Wish Dr. Z Carmen Ghia amp

I don’t think folks have been able to nail this one. I have a real one and it’s the best clean tone I get. I’m led to believe it’s a pretty unique circuit. Would love to see this added.

Wish Darkglass Output EQ in Amp Block

Personally I really like the 6 Band EQ Darkglass uses on their larger pedals. The EQ points are very well chosen for Bass. Currently I'm using a PEQ Block to simulate that. Would be great to have that in the "Output EQ" section of the Amp Block as well. Low shelf: +-12 dB @ 80 Hz. 250 Hz / 500...

Matchless Independence?

New to AxeFX. Purchased, but not yet received…. In my current live rig, I use a matchless independence with matching 1x12 cab. I'm trying to match that as closely as possible. What models have folks used to get in the neighborhood?

Wish Intersound IVP model

The Intersound IVP is a rack preamp from the late 70s. A purely solid state design, it's notable for its use of transformer saturation in it's "tube" mode. While it found some superstar users in Bob Weir and Jerry Garcia, the amp only truly reached notoriety in the mid 80s. In the hands of Steve...

I’m looking for a way to get the Orange OR120 sound for doom metal kind of stuff. Since it’s not an amp that’s been modeled is there a way to mod an available amp to essentially emulate the OR120? Like taking an existing model and switching tone stack type and location, tube types, tonestack...

Amp block defaults at -12?

I was attempting to set up multiple amps on a given preset using channels. I would go to pick an amp and I didn't have very many to choose from. I came to the conclusion that if you wanted to choose from the whole list of amps you could pick 1 amp for Amp 1 and 1 amp for Amp 2 and that the 4...
