One of the amp models I was most excited about when purchasing the AX8 was the Two Stone J35. I love clean Two Rock tones with their wonderful dynamics.
After trying a few times, I couldn't dial in the Two Stone J35 2 to capture that clean tone. I blamed it on the fact that only the Lead channel was modelled, not the Clean channel.
After spending more time with this amp model, I've discovered the issue is just finding a matching cabinet. This amp is extremely picky about the cabinet. It's opinionated about the frequencies it emits and if the speaker doesn't complement them it will sound bad.
The new F187 4x12 G65 Mix (Cel) cabinet gets closer though it lacks high end. I'm using the OwnHammer 212-GTR MAR-66 G65-OR LG IR from the Multi-Speaker Collection and it's the best I've gotten so far.
Set Input Drive and Overdrive between 2 and 3 and leave Master at 4. You should be able to hear the distinctive chirp attack that this amp has. Combine with a nice reverb and voilà, wonderful cleans!
Make sure to use the Two Stone J35 2 model, which is modelled with the tone stack, and not the Two Stone J35 1, which is meant for lead with the tone stack bypassed.
Who else is using this as a clean amp? Which cabs do you like?
