I like a cleanish rhythm sound and my guitar (fitted with 2x sa and 1x Humbucker 89 all EMGs and a mid boost) cleans up quite well when using the 808 block into the shiver amp.with the volume up and even with the drive in the 808 set to minimum it is quite dirty (maybe a little too much) however, When I kick in my humbucker (along with mid boost) it really drives.
IV tried a few different amps without an overdrive block to try and recreate the same thing but without success, I just can't seem to get the amp to clean up enough or drive enough (though I have not tried all amps - there's so many.
Does anyone have any suggestions on an amp that cleans up well but also drives when pushed (without being thin and harsh)
Does anyone use two amps on X/Y - one for clean and one for overdrive etc....
My main problem is the volume difference between clean (vol backed off) and vol up full... I tried a compressor but didn't like the way it altered my tone.
