Stelligan uploaded a Dumblator into the return on a 6l6 power section on fire. Feed the monster. This is going to be very useful!
Good deal for us and he gets to practice making the best captures I have heard yet, period.
I will have some gain and treatment captures going up in a couple days. Waiting for a direct box to be returned. I serviced an amp and filled it with big black RCAs and lots of Mullards. I never knew it did this. lol

This is the recovery/return stage only of the D-lator into the power stage. "Lator" on I will be posting a gained up full D-lator into power once I figure how much gain to feed it. May take some trial & error.
It is easy to find you on the sharing site. I wind up and ZING the mouse wheel and watch 1300 poorly captured Line 6 sounds described as whatever Line 6 calls them but (parenthetical) secondary descriptions (like BRUTAL or Attempt #37) and when it looks like the title is shorter and meaningful...
There. There is your capture.

I think it is "BROOTAL" because they can't spell either...

Clean sounds are always the hardest to handle and setup with a switching rig, especially if you use it with other bold patches.
BEFORE WE BEGIN I set the tone controls to PRE for all clean sounds for all captures.
If you are using TX AND TX1 absolutely get Stelligan's EF86 preamp capture. It is mild. Install it on the TX1.
On that device in the Tonex app on your computer, set the input trim to +6. The gain and volume are basically dimed. My global volume is around 5.
Enable compressor. Needs to be happy with your pickups. You are looking for a peak reduction no more than -8dB with the attack just beyond your transient strike. Mine is between 9-15ms. Threshold is all about your pickups. Don't crush the pants off a small digital signal. Always ALWAYS ALWAYS you are looking for peak @-14 before the compressor is enabled and your compressor volume (makeup) returns the signal to this level and NO MORE.
Now, and I can't decide because they are both so very awesome, but different, you install his 102 clean and Blonde Bassman (modified) captures on your TX pedal. In either case get fairly happy with your settings then enable the TX1 in pedal mode to drive it.
Now we are talking.. I hope you are monitoring through something with meters. Mind the -14 rule. On my mixer that is the 4th segment tapping on -12 very lightly.
So you love it. It's GREAT! You never had a better clean and smooth sound in your life. Enable compressor on TX pedal. This time you are looking for -2 peak reduction. The attack should be something faster than the preamping signal. 5-9ms. Maybe even less with humbuckers.. maybe not.
Preen the attack and threshold until the attack blends as you wish to the sustain, then makeup the gain with the compressor volume.
Now, you go away happier than usual.. but then you realize you should run a high def recapture to consolidate your setting into a single capture. Experiment with the amp captures. I am sure you will find the Bassman has INCREDIBLE dimension and the 102 clean is smooth as silk with a similar depth of field, just not as deep. There are no comparable other captures. These are the most amazing available.

Other interesting things. You like high gain? Splawn
UR 3rd Gear +++ capture on ToneNet. Get the 2nd gear for the ryth patch. These captures sound very close to my Bruisemaker JTM45 amp. Squat and scream.
Hiwatts. There are three amp only captures of clean, warm, and full grit on ToneNet that make a good three channel hell raiser.

1. New cheap powerful laptop.
2. MOTU 828
3. Waves Abbey Road
4. Waves Renaissance
5. Uno2 upgrade for 1010 midi contoller
6. A second Tonex pedal
7. Nuendo
If the past is any indication of my future I will drive this rig until my wheels fall off. Total latency expected to be >+1m. Like, way..
Now.. time to imagine inverse cabinet IRs. Maybe an app with a built-in 3 band parametric +bass and treble shelf/pass bands that inverts available IRs.

Yeah, I made two setups, one for cabs and one for IRs. This has to end one side or the other. Cabs sound generally better, sometimes extremely. IR changing patches adds much complication to balance.

Magic Dust captures. Quick clams to demonstrate the effects update. Recorded into Cubase using the Tonex as the interface - 2 stereo tracks with a little panning after.

A little rust but it sounds great! The tone sings GREAT! I love those amps.
These fx aren't going to work for me. I like tone control for everything and I am a stereo snob from the wayback.
I threw 6 hours trying to make a Queen set on two adjacent banks to get me through a 9 song set. My cop out is that it's more about the attitude, so screw that...
I ran out of best ideas for a method of going full range over Marshall cabs. It is a lot of fun spinning the knobs for days looking for a perfect IR..
Not really. The software works better than the pedals.. hmm..

A little rust? You're too kind. I was rather stoked that the capture would sing without the aid of spl in the room. So much so that I thought I would expose myself on the interwebs after a couple Saturday beers. Yes - the software with good converters sounds way better. The pedal is tough to beat for that price and extremely useful for practice on it's own. Not quite yet an all in one solution for someone's gig but way closer with an echo in the box. As an amp substitute on your pedal board - I think it's there.
