More and more manufacturers of guitar amplifiers release pedals to the market which capture the character of their amps. Examples: MXR's 5150, Friedman BE-OD, Bogner's Ecstasy and Uberschall pedals.
We can do the same in our virtual Fractal Audio world! We can change AMP models into drives. This expands our arsenal of Drives. And it requires less CPU usage than using a dedicated Drive block.
This approach is especially handy in the Axe-Fx II, because it provides two AMP blocks. AX8 owners can apply this trick when using the AX8 with a real amp.
It's a simple procedure. Turn off power amp modeling in the AMP block by setting SAG to 0 ("p.a. off"), and keep Presence at "5" for a neutral setting. This works in 4CM setups too.
More information about the amplifiers on which these pedals are based:
