I’m curious; what are your methods for using drive blocks into an edge of breakup amp where you still want to use the clean edge of breakup sound?
I find that the drives sound good into the amp by hitting the front end with a bit of level, but then turning it off makes the clean significantly quieter. If you turn the level down on the drive pedal to be around unity, I find the drives don’t sound as cool in my opinion (take for example a tube screamer; you need the amp to be cooking a bit and a little level from the pedal to meld into it, but then when you turn the pedal off, your clean isn’t loud enough).
Have you guys experienced this? And if so, what kind of work arounds do you use for this BESIDES scenes? Keep in mind, I’m running my current setup like a pedalboard into one amp. I’d love to hear your thoughts. I’ve considered the idea of using modifiers so that when the drives turn off, the level of the amp turns up a bit and or a compressor turns on too, but thought I’d ask and see the different methods.
