Set this up and tried it with my EJ strat, but I'm not sure I had some of the details right, and I didn't want to spend another 2 hours awtching the live stream again, even though I really enjoyed it.
With no drives at all, just the amp, it was great with the EJ, nicely balanced, clear but not totally clean, ballsy but not gainy, right in one of my wheelhouses. I don't think Larry uses the rig that way though, does he? He's always got that FAS Boost on, if I understood right.
I was less happy when I started down the drives path. With just the FAS Boost, it was too dark for me, and pretty gainy. I brightened up the drive some and liked it better, but it didn't have the mojo I heard in the vid, maybe because I'm not Larry
When the octave distortion or face fuzz are on, are they before the FAS Boost, after, or does the FAS get turned off? I was happiest with the FAS off, but I don't think that's how he does it.
Any thoughts are welcome, including yours Larry of course. Great tones in the live stream, and great playing.
