Problem with Double Verb amps - Version 21.01

[Brad666]

when playing the G (G string 12th fret)... standard tuning... with the Double verb normal amp (with factory cab 957 double verb) and add an overdrive pedal in front i clearly hear a lower C# note I'm adding this preset (scene #2) I tried changing the amp to a class-A 30W and still the same thing, but if I try the ODS-100 Clean I don't hear this.
- I'm playing using FRFR cabinet in mono

Don't know if this was always this way? Any idea why this is? how to get rid of it?

Thanks

What guitar are you using?

Non guitarist chiming in. Could it be related to ghost notes? If you switch the supply to DC does it go away?

Hi Jinxy, that is fantastic info!! I’ll be testing that tomorrow. Very glad to see a potential solution

Get used to ghost notes and learn to like ghost notes as a natural part of certain amp sounds?
Some amps come with them, because it's part of the DNA of these amps. If you dial them away, it's not that same sound anymore.

And the beauty is, if you don’t like them, you can get rid of them with a button rather than sell your amp.

I think it’s so cool that the modelling is so accurate that it reproduces the quirks of those circuits.

Damn cool that we can do this, along with a plethora of other things that would either not be possible in the real world, or at the very least take an experienced amp tech to change. Yeah, we're spoiled!

Part of that "Real tube tone"!

My MesaBoogie once went bad and the 50hz of AC started modulating the entire sound like a ring modulator block at 15% mix. All nice and good if 50hz was any note, but noooo, its right between G and G#…

Ghost note.

I like the Carr Rambler in the Frank Steffen Mueller-Preset "Gift of tone" a lot. But if you use the overdrive pedal, you have so much ghost notes. I didn´t notice that much ghost-notes for a long time in the Axe (even not with Marshalls). This is normal?
