Well ya, but can your Axe FX give you an authentic hernia like a real Matchless?

You should have lifted my '72 Twin with the two EVM12Ls. That bugger felt like it was epoxied to the floor. Rolled it past the TV and it pulled all the colors except green to the bottom of the screen, where they stayed for a month or so. The wife was not nearly as amused about that as I was....Well ya, but can your Axe FX give you an authentic hernia like a real Matchless?
I don't design the amps, I just copy them. You need to voice your complaint to Mark Sampson.I'm also finding the EF86 a bit dark, I'm using the 212 Chieftain curve with a 212 matchless IR, perhaps I should try others but I'd think this should be the near-perfect match.
Jason, I had to turn that Bass knob in the Ideal tab down to around 2ish to get it not to sound too dark. Luckily, my Novo is a fairly bright guitar ...... but the EF86 tamed it rather well!I'm also finding the EF86 a bit dark, I'm using the 212 Chieftain curve with a 212 matchless IR, perhaps I should try others but I'd think this should be the near-perfect match.
The Bass knob IS the Tone control. See the release notes.Jason, I had to turn that Bass knob in the Ideal tab down to around 2ish to get it not to sound too dark. Luckily, my Novo is a fairly bright guitar ...... but the EF86 tamed it rather well!
Lowering the bass knob shrinks the cap, thereby reducing bass, right?I don't design the amps, I just copy them. You need to voice your complaint to Mark Sampson.
Yes.Lowering the bass knob shrinks the cap, thereby reducing bass, right?
Is there a rough formula for coverting between a cap value and the knob position to dial it in?
lol, fair enough. I just have the real amp sitting here (2 of them actually) and it's quite a bit darker. To be fair, I know your amp may behave differently than the 2 I have (well, 3 I had, sold one), just sharing my observations.I don't design the amps, I just copy them.

always do, but even with the bass at the minimum it's still on the dark side for me, will continue to experiment with cabs etc. Still sounds great.As always.. use your ears NOT your eyes when dialing in.. you do that this amp sounds freaking fantastic.
Matches our reference amp exactly. If it doesn't match yours, well that's one of the reasons we have a Tone Match block.always do, but even with the bass at the minimum it's still on the dark side for me, will continue to experiment with cabs etc. Still sounds great.
fair enough...again, wasn't a complaint, just an observation.Matches our reference amp exactly. If it doesn't match yours, well that's one of the reasons we have a Tone Match block.
And that’s why I was telling Jason what knob I used and where I set it to get rid of the darkness ...... I wouldn’t just assume that someone didn’t read the release notes because they told a fellow owner and worship guitarist friend where they set their preset at.The Bass knob IS the Tone control. See the release notes.
Try the new York Audio Matchless pack. That’s what I used with the regular DC30 model and now the EF86 model. Sounds really great with it ....... and unless you’re playing a REALLY DARK guitar you should have great results. If I drop below 2ish on the Bass knob it gets a bit too “chimey” for my tastes.always do, but even with the bass at the minimum it's still on the dark side for me, will continue to experiment with cabs etc. Still sounds great.
Ok, I guess I'll dial it by ear, then.
yeah, i was using that pack, Mix 1 i believe. Bouncing between that and the OH VC30 212. I think part of it may be that my ear is so used to the OH1 mixes (which are on the bright side) that anything else can seem dark.Try the new York Audio Matchless pack.

Your final tone to your ears is going to depend on what you are playing through, (headphones, amps, cabs).always do, but even with the bass at the minimum it's still on the dark side for me, will continue to experiment with cabs etc. Still sounds great.
