I'm really impress by the realness of the amps tone! For whatever reasons, on master volume models, I set the master volume around 1.75-2, nomore, just like the real thing to benefit from preamp distortion, and clean poweramp tone. But on some models, like the Carol-ann's, it sounds fuller with MV around 4. But even at low MV, the feel is great. I really think the JVM models rocks!! I set the gain really low, especially on the red channel 2, there is an insane amount of gain on those models, just like the real thing. With Ultra res. cabs, things can get fuzzy depending on the amp model. I like to lower the triode hardness, a trick Cliff post some days ago, it really smooth things while retaining the core tone. Those Friedman cabs are my new favorite ones. Keep them comming with more mics options!! Thanks again Mr.Chase!
