Which of these EL84-based models already in the Axe-Fx come the closest to what you have in mind?strumbringer said:I'd love a EL84-based Class-A sim for a nice warm velvety-clean vintage blues sound that's hard to get any other way . The Mesa/Boogie LoneStar special comes to mind (and being a production model is easy to find).

I've never seen that schematic before (Lab).
Looks very interesting.
I hope that comes off.

onebaldbloke said:No offense, but why do people insist on calling AC30's (etc) Class A?
An AC30 is Class A only to a point, beyond which it's Class AB.
Though I do concur that real Class A amps & other non-Fender cleaner amps are not well represented in the Axe.

I thought Cliff exposed a parameter for us that allows us to move between "pure" Class A and Class AB. I can't remember the exact parameter but perhaps it is on the advanced tab. With that parameter you could take an amp sim (based on the tube type you are interested in) and make it Class A.

Try mixing the mesa with an amp with poweramp off (sag to zero). Mix to taste. :mrgreen:DawnOfIniquity said:but the Marshall 8200 gives it that EXTREMELY tight chunk (or djent) when digging into the strings when palm-muting.
It's up to you. You could start with a Uber, Engl, Mesa, Marshall (JCM800 style), or a Trainwrek, or a vox... without poweramp the sound is tight & fizzy, without changing eq. Useful only in a mix, for a conventional guitar sound.DawnOfIniquity said:Which amp sim do you think would give a similar sound to the Marshall Valvestate? It's not a typical Marshall sound, it's much tighter and more aggressive, with an almost hollow quality to the midrange.
