Wish Amp Block "Chug" Parameter

[2112]

I love the MBC for taming palm mutes with high gain, using the Andy Sneap Waves C4 settings as a starting point (using the middle band with attack 12ms, release 25ms, low/high crossovers at 90hz/350hz, 24db/octave slope) and adjusting the threshold and ratio to taste. A new amp block "chug" parameter with these settings fixed and controls for ratio and threshold would be awesome.

To my ears the MBC sounds best after the cab block, but it's also very effective between amp & cab - furthermore users who are inexperienced with tweaking the MBC would be able to get great results without having to add a block and tweak it.

The clip below is the same riff looped with Amp -> Cab, amp->MBC->cab and then amp->cab->MBC

I get easily intimated by the MBC. This would be ideal.

Have you tried a high-pass filter in front - with the frequency control attached to the pitch follower. The lower the pitch the higher the high-pass frequency.

The mid band with a 25ms release is effectively scooping those freqs, but dynamically. That sounds pretty cool. Seems like it's the inverse of using a little bit of dynamic depth and dynamic presence.

Yes, that was one of the first "tricks" I learnt about back when I had an Axe-Ultra and I loved it.

A control in the amp block that does that is exactly what I'm down for!

You know where those MBC settings would really be effective? In front of the power amp! Dude try running the MBC in the loop of one of your real amps, it's like dynamic pre-PA EQ.

Rick Beato suggests using a notch FILTER at 150 hz. I place it after the CAB.

That's the exact use case I imagine this would be great for.

I agree a tight or focus switch on the lows in addition to the cut would be a killer option

Actually I’d like to see a whole separate tab in the amp block for this sort of thing.
Chug
Chewiness
Chime
Etc

Excellent idea.
