Just kidding...I doubt it 😂
The past 2 weeks i was looking at several amps. And also the weeks before that. The weeks before that too. :D
Hermansson modded Dual Multi-Watt, Mesa Dual and Triple, SLO 100, Mezzabarbara Hatschicalypso, IIC+ Reissue, Lenz, Orange Rockerverb MK3

I end up with different settings everyday. To keep track of 'em i record a little clip. Mostly on very low volume. Master at 3 is cool, it gets bigger and opens up, but it's too loud for a rehearsal. I'd like a bit more saturation and gain. Asked a modder i know. Got a dumb answer. Modding is not completely off the table...
Well, we will see. In the meantime i go you on the nerves with the same boring 2203 clips. :D

What i wanted to say: We should just use what we have. Goddammit. Kidding again. :D :ROFLMAO:
But i have to admit: The 2203 works.

Sounds great.

The thing that sucks for me as a guitarist, what sounds awesome in the mix usually sounds horrible by itself to me.

Then what I think is the perfect guitar tone probably doesn't sound good in a mix.

I think stuff that sounds good by itself can sound bad in a mix, it’s honestly usually too much low end or too much mids usually. But I’ve never had a tone that sounded great in a mix but bad by itself.

that's why you dial in a few different tones. One for recording, one for playing at home and one for live/jamming

Some tones that work really well in a mix are actually pretty thin sounding by them selves. The important part is the midrange, having a wide spread of midrange, the bass and treble are less important in a mix which is why so many producers and engineers are low and hi cutting the guitars in a mix.

I’m usually not a fan of those in a mix though. I can tell when someone hacks off the guitars at 120hz. Lacks ball’s. And all this sucking out the high end over the last few years. Yuck.

Yeah, exactly! That's the thing. And that's my mission. :D I want an Amp that is equally awesome in both scenarios.

Im definitely not producer but what I do is sweep the High Pass until I can actually hear a difference and then I move it back maybe 10mhz.

It's usually around 80 or 90 for me.

For sure! I think the slope matters too. I usually don’t do a steep slope on my passing of the low end or high pass. Go a bit steeper on the high end or low pass. Usually 12-18 db/oct high pass. 24 db/oct high end.
