Sorry Eric. Should I read the original post?

No need to apologize -- I was just playing around. Try as I might to remember, I always end up forgetting how bad text is at relaying subtle sarcasm.Originally Posted by Retro Hound

My reply was somewhat sarcasm also (look at your signature). I was just too subtle.Originally Posted by Eric

Yeah I saw that, but didn't know how to respond to it without sounding patronizing, so I took the safe route.Originally Posted by Retro Hound
I think I'm going to put in a late new year's resolution to stop using sarcasm when typing.

Don't know if my "clean" tone counts...
I use channel 1 on my Fallen Angel with Mid and Treble at 12 o'clock, Bass at 9 and the gain just below the point at which it starts distorting, with the Electric Mistress with the chorus and rate set at 12 o'clock in the effects loop.
Otherwise I'll use the same settings with a Delay replacing the Chorus. I very rarely play a pure, clean amp. Most of the time the gain stays maxed.
The FA's tone's somewhere between a Marshall and a MESA. Same level of gain available as a MESA but smoother and less "fizzy". A massive amount of bass as well. 4 12AX7s for the pre-amp, 2 EL34s for the power amp.
Only other clean tone I've liked was the VJ's. I used the JC120 setting on my G2.1u through an old 25-watt Yamaha solid-state for a while and hated it. Just sounded bland. Probably the amp causing that though.
