So to alleviate the frustration of Waiting for 3.0 (and trying to figure out how to make 3.0 pronounced like Godot), I thought I'd ask for some pearls of wisdom from the group here.
My go-to patch is based on the Bludodrive preset, using Ownhammer IRs that combine a G12-65 and a SRO. I sat in on a blues jam recently that had me drag out my little Glaswerks Zingaro combo, since plugging into the PA would actually have been more trouble than just setting up a little amp.
Hey, says I, that speaker and power amp should act a lot like the Bludo output section. Wonder what my main preset sounds like through the cab?
So I plugged output 2 into the FX loop return of the amp, which is post MV. Only control that affects anything at that point is the presence, obviously. Then I shut down power amp modeling and cabinet modeling in the AFX.
It really didn't sound anything like what I'm used to, and really didn't sound good. I would have to spend a lot of time tweaking to get it to sound good. So I'm trying to figure out to what extent that's expected? I mean, if I were going into a totally different power amp that wasn't designed for clean headroom, and into a totally different speaker type...I could see it not translating well then. But this should be well within the ballpark for that preset.
Those of you who have made the jump either way, have you had to really redo the tone controls a lot to get usable sound?
