[/QUOTE]<<The new Q1.02 Bludo Ld2 is a step closer to what I'm up to - gain-, tone- (after some tweaks) and feelwise. I love to have the fulll control of dynamics just in my hands, with an amp that is very close build to the breaking poiint where your playing is the trigger for positive feedback.>
Hi Paco, glad you are back and I'm glad you like the latest firmware. It's the Bludotone Ojai Lead Channel but with the pre-amp boost off, so you get more of the Skyline tonestack thing, I prefer it it for more refined (rather than going for "unrestrained!") lead playing myself.
I'm hoping Cliff will next add the Bludo Ojai Clean Channel w/out the pre amp boost (the current one with PAB "on" has a lot of gain that is hard to dial back out if you want crisper cleans, and the Blud Ojai clean is among the best I've heard)...
I know Cliff now has some accurate schematics and info needed to G3 a model of a Steel String Singer and 70's Dave Lindley/Lowell George style Dumble as well, but he's pretty busy with other things (like Axe-8) but hopefully he will fit in at some point, so grateful that he has done what he has to date!
Be great if he can model your amp as well, look forward to playing/hearing that one day!

Curious about you mentioning Cliff modeling the Bludo Ojai Clean channel w/out the boost engaged. Would this be closest to how Robben Ford is using his Dumble these days, playing almost everything with a clean tone (sometimes a slight boost)? I saw him here in Austin at One World Theater last year (small tour w/ Larry Carlton) and really enjoyed his tone and sound.. I prefer what he's doing more recently to most of his prior material and tones (generally speaking). I really dig the tone he has in this video (Fair Child) using the Epiphone Riviera:
