Fractal Fanatic
Played around today. Did some research on the Friedman Buxom Betty as I loved it so much at Peach Guitars last week. ITs a blackface pre, coupled to a JTM45 Power stage essentially. So I did just that - Twin, changing the tonestack to a JTM45 and the valves to EL34s.
Had to lower the master to 7.5, and the input trim to 0.6 as it was breaking up at 0.5.... The real amp starts to break up at around 3.
Love the result. With an RTC booster and Zen Master as optional drives, and with 2 gain stages (4.1 for edge of breakup and 8 for full on saturation). Cant tell how close to the real thing it is obviously, as Its not been wound up flat out - and I dont have the amp in my home (unfortunately), but Im REALLY Happy with the sound its making.
For those who want a play, I have attached the patch.
The "clean" amp setting is on Amp Y, and the dirty is on amp X. You will have to play with your own cab - I have my cabs off by default as I go real amp/cab (Fryette Power Station into a 2x12), so the cab in the patch will be random, and not worked.
Should mention, I used a Strat to create the patch. The "gainy" tone cleans up really nice for a fatter/rounder clean that the actual clean setting too, with vol roll off OR picking strength. Very reactive.
Not sure if it should be here - posting the preset wasnt the main point of my post (in fact it was an after thought), but if it would be better in the axe exhange then feel free to move it (Mods).
