You KNOW that tubes are calling you, Hunter! :lol:
Modelling is all well and good, but you just can't beat valves ;)
Why did I know you would say that?
Actually it was real good to have a break from the Shiva and try all those other amps (models), it gave me a new hearing, and I now hooked up back the Shiva I ended up dialing in very different settings
Now getting it much closer to that JCM800 on steroids feel that I was after. It really rips with Drive, Mid, Treb on 3 o'clock and bass on 1 or 2 o'clock. Before I had all around noon and used boost pedals and the bright switch on.
