No hardness = no bueno, I adjust that almost every time to taste.

Ohhh - fits perfect with my current hunt for the perfect Hi-Gain Marshall derived tone

It doesn't sound like a Marshall to me. It's got that hyper-compressed German thing going. With all that low-frequency grunge.

Yay happy Friday!!!

Thanks Cliff !

Sounds great to me. All presets seem to have less gain after this update, but it's not dramatic and the dynamics are better.

Thanks! The first word I'd say would be: 'tight' !

 

[REDD]

And I just shut off my unit! Time to power it back up! Thanks a lot!

Interesting - I will give it a try anyway

Exactly!
People always think the Herbert is supertight but it got something going on in the lows that is not as tight as other brands, not a bad thing though.
Also, I had my old Herbert opened up by Peter Diezel (super nice dude) a lil bit in the 3rd channel, ... Love that amp!

Really looking forward to this one. My main gain patch runs the Herbie and Recto in parallel

The reason Diezels compress so much is due to the cathode follower design. You can reduce the compression in the models by lowering the Compression parameter in the Cathode Follower section.
