So - many of you probably are aware of this already - but for me it was an epiphany.
In creating my patch from scratch - which usually just starts with an amp and a small amount of reverb, I have discovered that putting the reverb block in parallel with the amp ( i have been putting it at the end of the "chain"), completely and totally "opens" up the amp - no matter what amp I tried and using the smallest amount of almost undetectable reverb ! What I heard blew me away - I don't understand why - all I know is it sounds more amazing than I could have thought it could have. From the lowest gain - to the highest gain amp - it didn't matter what I tried, every amp sounded like I thought it should. I don't know if this is a trick that everyone knows or not, but I thought I might share it with anyone who might be having trouble finding that special tone. FYI - i don't use the cab block as I go through a matrix into a 2X12 with EV 12L's. I haven't tried it though my monitors. :encouragement:
