Don't you use the EQ in the amp block itself? I thought I saw that on your preset. Seems to me that would be enough since it's technically after the power amp (I think). Oh, and the Hi and Lo cuts in the cab block have really satisfying results.Now I just recently started using an EQ Block between the Amp and Cab,.. this has really helped me in some presets I was building last night for some new songs... So I may revisit this patch with that EQ block inserted and see if I can get it really dialed in..
I need to school up on the some of the Speaker drives and stuff... don't know much about that and how it effects the overall sound/tone.. ?
Even Bass to 10?Yesterday at rehearsal I picked the Plexi 6550, turned everything up to 10 and got a great tone in 10 secs.
It can be so simple.
It's easy to overthink this stuff. Some of those Marshalls do sound right with everything dimed.Yesterday at rehearsal I picked the Plexi 6550, turned everything up to 10 and got a great tone in 10 secs.

I'm guessing you mean "an actual EQ block."...using an actual cab block between the Amp and Cab blocks...
I forgot about SoundClick. Both of those tones are amazing.Going back to the cranked Marshall Plexi thing... I spent the better part of 3 years chasing Eddie's tone for some reason or another ... in the end it was a Custom Build that started with a 77 Super Lead 100 (Transformers are the key here..) ... basically gutted it and built a PTP hand wired Plexi with "mods" - "Mod 5" is what it was called...

Come to think of it, I did work up a patch a couple years back on my buddies Axe FX II .. I didn't get to spend a ton of time on that one, but I think it got pretty close:

I probably need to dig that old patch out and see how it translates to the AX8.. then tweak it from there...
Geez!,.. I just hi-jacked my own thread..
