Hey, so recently my 40-watt Blackstar HT Club 40 deluxe bit the dust. I bought a used HT20-R, which is for all intents and purposes the same amp but half the wattage. Here is the problem. Pretty much all of my presets I made, which sounded fabulous with my HT 40, all sound over-clipped and badly distorted through this new amp.
The ultimate solution here is pretty obvious, I gotta make new presets that sound good with the new amp. I tried to go through all of my presets and just reduce all of the levels and expression pedal gain settings down a few clicks, but it sill had that overly "digital-ish" (sorry...) distortion sound. I am curious if anyone has made any presets with a lower-wattage amp (and/or switched from a higher to a lower wattage or vice versa) and maybe have any tips or insights to make these presets sound good without having to start all over again.
General discussion also welcome. Thanks!!
