Tonestack type question

If the tonestack type is set for passive for a particular amp (for example the AC30 TB), and you change the type to AC30 TB, does this change anything? Is "passive" the same as setting tonestack type to the amp type you are using? I understand active and that you can set the tonestack type to that of other amps, but was curious if setting it to the same type as the amp does anything.

thx
 
In your example it would do nothing, passive = default.

Now if you change the tone stack to Plexi or German V4 you'd hear a big difference.

I like to change tonestacks to create textures.
 
What you wrote is what my ears tell me. "Passive" is the stock tone stack for the selected amp.
