I have it leveled out via VU meter (as I am sure bath does). I just found it strange
No Depth control on the Tucana AFAIK.
i can't figure this out. it says in the wiki - "Real world, it has the same amount of actual gain as the Triptik. Way more than most people would need for recording or live playing. Input gain on 10 o clock, gain on 2 o clock is a 70s /80s lead tone, put the input level up to 2 o click and it's a very sustained lead tone or a very modern heavy rhythm tone."
even with both gain controls on 2o/c and the master on 5, there's still no where near as much gain as is described above. i would say it's a mid-gain rhythm tone...not a sustained lead at all....Q8.02
The more I play with this and the Triptic models, the more I notice that there is a strong 1500Hz-ish element to both the CAA amps modeled that you really can't dial out with anything except an IR that has a dip there. It's not obnoxious, but it's very much there and doesn't respond to the tone controls. It's there when BMT are zeroed!
It really helps the amps cut through a dense mix. If you find yourself fighting another guitar for space, these amps might be a good place to turn.
But I don't remember the Tucana I played sounding like that.
Maybe a disconnect due to the "real world" statement? My initial thought was he was referencing the FAS model and it's virtual knob positions... but maybe he's referring to the real world amp model and the input gain and overdrive knob positions? Unsure if 2:00 on FAS would be identical to 2:00 on the physical amp.i can't figure this out. it says in the wiki - "Real world, it has the same amount of actual gain as the Triptik.
