I’ve been digging it. Slowly gotten the amps dialed in for the riffy stuff.
Great effects, though I still really wish there was a standard chorus/flanger up front, as the post chorus is a little more unique. (Cool nonetheless) I’ve found a Laser mode that you can back the mix down super low and has it own awesome chorusing/doubling effect.
Hi everyone, I’m new here — and I totally agree with you. The flexibility to
reorder effects is vital.
Personally, I’m tired of all the baked presets and the “fake tone chasing.” If you really want to tweak the sweet spots on amps, you need access
between the preamp and power section. Swapping preamps should be possible (Mercurial Spark actually allowed this).
These days, only a few companies even come close to letting you do that. Why? Because they make money selling sims with baked presets that sound good or close to popular record tones — but those tones were created by other guitarists, not
you. That leaves you trying to make them fit your mix somehow. They sound great out of the box, but when it’s time to tweak, you feel stuck — either afraid of sounding cliché or like everyone else, no matter how differently you play.
In the end, most of us only need
one or two great Plexi-style amps (or a 2203/JMP), regardless of what pedals or preamps are in front of them.
And yeah… that’s why I’ve stopped buying more sims.
