and the red channel is the only thing about the amp I'm having a problem with. I like the clean, LOVE the blue channel, but the red channel gets slaughtered by my Fortin Cali mod. I'm trying to dial out that woofy congested bottom end, when i seem to get close i find myself lowering the gain, but then i want more saturation for just leads. And i have it in Cameron mode with the Marvel switch. Still tweaking,

i've found that the Cameron Red mode sounds woofy-er and looser than the post-2004 Red mode, which is tighter in the low end. it's too much gain, so i turn the gain knob down compared to where i run it when using the Cameron mode.danyeo":3d7gqn3j said:RockStarNick":3d7gqn3j said:I'm trying to dial out that woofy congested bottom end, ....

i've also found on my 101B that pre-EQ B1 on the Red channel is far tighter on high-gain tones than either N or B2. and i'm running the Red channel Excursion on the tightest setting. with that i get a great, very tight but not super-tight, chunky high gain rhythm tone.
for lead tones, i don't have as good an ear, but i have to change the settings pretty radically--pre-EQ N to smooth it out, Cameron mode to get that fatness, and gain knob up to compensate for the lower gain that mode has.
