Hello
I'm currently using the Plexi 50W Hi and I really love the crunchy sound of it from the stock settings. I'd like to clean the amp up but I was wondering if there are any other parameters in the amp block that would also need changing apart from the obvious reduction in the gain control ?
As amps get pushed higher into distortion I'm sure there are a lot of variables that change as the gain is increased in the analog world but I was wondering if this also applies in the Axe FX. I assume it does so would be interested if anyone could point me in the right direction. I'm sure if there was a Plexi 50W Hi clean version of the amp available there would be many differences between the one we have now that is a crunch channel compared to its new clean version.
I've done this countless times, turned down the gain to clean the amp up but was never as happy as choosing a different clean amp and using that instead.
Also, are amps created from scratch on the latest version of the firmware a generally more authentic sounding amp than ones created with legacy firmware versions and then re-worked for the latest firmware version ?
Many thanks
