My friend, Rick Del Castillo of the Latin rock band Del Castillo, just bought an Ax8. He is looking for an amp model of the SWT California Blonde. That is an amp he favored previously. Does anyone know of an amp model of this (or similar)? I thought perhaps the Jazz 120 might be similar, but he doesn't think so.
 
That is an amp designed for acoustic guitars, don’t think there is anything equivalent in the Ax8 other than the Tube Pre with some compression perhaps, or maybe direct him to some of @Moke ‘s or @fremen s acoustic presets......

It is an amp, though, so why can't there be a model for it?

As acoustic amps generally aim for not to color the tone of the instrument, what should be modeled?

My friend said that the California Blonde had an exciter or some such. I guess that could be replicated with an "enhancer" block? I don't know. I don't know if that amp had built-in compression, as well. Another one of his "wishes" for the AX8 was to bbe able to have a second compressor block Ito add more sustain).

What's he doing that one compressor doesn't give him all the compression he needs?
