I've been working on a blackface preset the last couple nights using the Double verb normal with the 2X12 B0face B-man 67 A AB cab. I keep going back and forth comparing what I have to the black face (blackbird) channel on my Fargen DBC50. I'm amazed at how close the FM9 is nailing it. About the only criticism is that on the Fargen its noticeably warmer. I guess this could be comparing real tubes to a modeler but I can't help feeling I could get it closer.
It could be the differences of the real amp from what a blackface circuit is. The power tubes are EL34, the speaker cabinet loaded with 2x12 Heritage Celestion G12-65 speakers.
I'm using the FR12 cabinet with the FM9. I've played around with eq but I go from "blanket over the speaker" to to bright. I feel I have the eq set as best I can. The blackface tone I have on the FM9 is a tad brittle. But only noticeable if I turn on the real tube amp and compare side by side. Now that I think about the tone on the FM9 is probably closer to what I'd get on a 65 twin reissue. However if I could get it to just warm up a bit I think I could get much closer to what the real tube amp sounds.
So just wondering is there another 2X12 speaker I could use. Some other tips to warm it up with out making it too dull?
And one observation I've made, I have always heard other describe modelers of not the feel of a tube amp. For the most part I'm finding that I am getting that feel, not completely but much better than I expected.
