SV20H+girdle has replaced my bandmaster+klon for eob. Just like that, in about 2 minutes. I know nuthin about either that amp or that pedal, except that the combo it is so clear and articulate! Thanks Cliff!

Interesting! That’s been my EOB sound. I’m waiting for the final release but I’ll give that a spin.

Has anyone noticed the ridiculous LOW CPU usage of the Griddle Cake yet?
It's the lowest of all available types.

Must be something special about that drive, because the last page of the Drive block settings doesn't say anything about the clip type.

A preset with just four Drive blocks, all set to Griddle Cake, uses less CPU than one with a single Drive block set to BB Pre.

Probably cuz it has no clipping diodes, all the distortion comes from the opamp.. and that probably explains the release note about the opamp sim improvement

Brit Studio 20 does not show Normal Gain knob on ideal page (on both the front panel and Axe FX). Bug or intended?

This is also the case for some jumped plexis. Whereas the jumped Brit M45 has all controls available in ideal mode.
Seems a bit inconsistent to me.

Ah yes, thanks. Seems like this is the only type to do so.
