Plexi to shrill ? this fixed my problem

[SeeD]

After watching the UAU video with Pete Thorn and the other Guys demoing the UAFX Lion pedal on SweetWater YouTube channel some of the guys told turn down treble all the way, and put Presence on 10 (on full)
I had this problem turning down my guitar volume to clean up a plexi it would be to shrill and two bity in the high end.
And the answer was turn down treble and pump up the presence, try it! Works like a charm.

This is what I do on the Axe-FX III. I've found that boosting the treble knob is great for cleans though.

I used to do it the other way, treble up, and presence down, haha

Out of curiosity, are you running the delay/reverb in parallel on that second row?

Why not move the mic instead?

If it works, then that's cool.

I find the Treble to often have a significant impact on the perceived Gain
of an Amp. The Presence, not so much.

I did that too the mic on the left, a bit down, and the mic of the right some to the right. Less bite, and more lows

Yeah!

for a Plexi tone are Bass 2/3, Mid 7/8, Treble 7.5. Adjust Presence to taste

My Plexi everything dimed nearly on 10

It's the only amp I know that has 6 gain controls.

I think the Mesa Boogie JP-2C is like this as well

Unrelated, but I used to run my TS9 with its tone set to 0 and gain from 5 to full. If not it was always harsh to me. There's still a bit of presence available even with the tone set to zero, almost like a crystalline glaze. Anyways, I look at controls as 'suggestions' and there really is no right way.

That is something Fractal should address for the next firmware update, all Marshall amps need to go to 11

Why don't you just make 10 louder and make 10 be the top number? Oh wait, sorry, forget I said that. I know the answer.
