This amp has so much tone
Between the Amber and Red
Pres shift
And shred settings its killer

Beautiful Sunday!
Thanks for this great work!
And like Data, he likes cats... hmmm.More and more I'm starting to suspect that "Cliff" is actually a brilliantly-written piece of AI code that has become self-aware and tireless in its pursuit of tonal bliss for the masses. I mean seriously, how many human people do you know that work this hard and release new software any time of day, any day of the week?
Thanks, "Cliff"!
@FractalAudio Is the preamp high cut frequency setting part of the amp’s circuitry, or is that or is that tuned by preference? The reason I’m asking is because I’ve been having a hard time getting the sizzle of my 90’s Marshall DSL with the amp models, but then I took the BE C45 and set the high cut all the way up and now they’re almost indistinguishable.
It was a nice eureka moment to see that I could absolutely nail my raw DSL tones with the Axe, but it just made me curious if that setting is part of each model’s accuracy, or if it’s a matter of player’s preference.
The high cut frequency is due to the snubber cap in the PI. Friedman's use 100 pF (or more) for the snubber cap. A DSL only uses 47 pF so, yes, you would need to double the high cut frequency to match.@FractalAudio Is the preamp high cut frequency setting part of the amp’s circuitry, or is that or is that tuned by preference?

Snubber? I hardly even know her. Thanks for the insight and clarification.The high cut frequency is due to the snubber cap in the PI. Friedman's use 100 pF (or more) for the snubber cap. A DSL only uses 47 pF so, yes, you would need to double the high cut frequency to match.

A snubber is a network used to reduce high frequencies. The term is a bit misused in tube amps. Typically a snubber is used to absorb transients in power circuits (like when a switch opens/closes).Any other aliens out there who understand this sentence?

In a tube amp the "snubber cap" is a capacitor across the plates of the phase inverter (PI). This reduces the gain of the power amp at high frequencies. It was originally used to prevent the power amp from oscillating. Some modern amps employ large values for tone shaping.
No.Is this what is meant by filtering in the power section

I assume it's the same concept as a popular fuzz face mod where a 100pf cap is soldered to the transistors' legs to prevent oscillation, and it also rolls off some highs.A snubber is a network used to reduce high frequencies.

It's cheaper and easier to use a single cap between the plates. Remember old amps were PTP so they just put the cap right across the terminals on the tube. It's basically the same thing as a cap off each plate to ground (or to B+).If only half the PI triode is working at time, this "snubber cap" would work the same if it was in parallel with the plate resistor and it's only between plates to save money, right?
