I've been using real ac30's for years, mostly with les pauls and strats. I'm trying to emulate a real ac30tb here, but I'm having a hard time. If i set the level at break up on my real amp, the 2 guitars (strat being much quiter and brighter than the lp) have a nice balance of gain / volume / compression. On the axe I can't seem to figure out how to obtain this same balance, in the sense that if I set a good tone for the strat, the lp sounds way dirty and muddy, while if I set a good lp core tone, the strat sounds terribly harsh and thin. Also, with the lp, the amp model seems to distort mostly around 300hz, and if I turn that down with the amp built in param eq, the strat gets even thinner. What I'd like to do is use my strat tone and have the lp just compress more without adding ridiculous amounts of gain and low end: what should I mess with? I suppose the character would have something to do with it.. Also, is there a way to set the frequency where crunch occurs?
Any suggestions highly appreciated
