I guess it says this in the manual... I bought it used, so I didn't get a manual.

This is the only one I bought: Noise Factory CaliMaster68 212 Utah This one sounded best to me out of all of theirs, but now that I made my own, I'm not using it. I just can't get down with the tubby low end and sandpaper high end I hear in every IR made by anyone else. They sound like the...

The Presence knob on channel 3 of the Mark V isn't doing anything on Extreme mode. It works on Mk IV & II modes and the other channels, but not Extreme... Did I just not notice this before, or is something faulty??

I got rid of some noise by putting all new tubes in, but Tweed is still the noisiest voicing in the amp, even though channel 3 has way more gain.

I'm running Live 12 with over 500 tracks at times and WoS on a good 200+ of them. But I have 96GB RAM and a 24-core Intel i9. My IRs turn out darker than most, but it works out because I can EQ them just right and they don't have that digital high end buzz that most IRs made by anyone else do...

Yeah, I have a 50W Badlander. 1, 3, and 7 are the best-sounding of the stock IRs, to me. I don't know what it is, but all 3rd party IRs I've tried always sound really tubby and harsh, like the high end buzz is really digital-sounding and stands out too much, and the bass & low-mids sound like...

Yeah, 4 V30s is too much V30. They do well paired with another speaker, but I never care for the sound of just V30s. Black Shadow MC-90, G12T-75, and G12K-100 all compliment the V30 well. I like the G12M-65 Creambacks a lot more than V30s, but I've never mixed them. Don't know if that would...

I don't regret getting it. I could have easily spent $320 on overdrive pedals trying to get the same effect, but would still be dissatisfied. Pedals cannot do what this mod does. The big thing for me is the drastic increase in gain without raising the noise floor... I really didn't think that...

Here's a good one: If you're running the gain at 3:00 or higher, then you would benefit from the Scary mod. I had Crunch gain at max, using active EMGs, and wish it had just a tad more. I had Crush gain at 3-4:00. It was enough gain, but got kinda flat or soft at those extreme levels. Now my...

I have to add: it's really hard to swap tubes in this thing! The sockets are really tight. I couldn't just pull them out, so I had to take the screws out of the protector bases and pull that off first. With those screws out, the sockets are very loose and wobbly in there, so I had to screw the...

This is why parametric is perfect for guitar - you can set each band to any frequency. I use 10 bands of fully parametric and they're all between 180Hz - 2.5kHz. The semi-parametric bands on my analog rack unit are used for high/low cuts (though I wish they were shelves).

I meant: had gain at 3-4:00 on Crush and max on Crunch before the mod.

I just got one into my Badlander 50W today. It's great. I can really feel the difference in response to my playing. There's much more depth and it's so harmonically rich. I settled on the Scary gain at 3:00 with the Deep switch up. My channel gain went from max on Crunch and 9-10:00 on Crush to...

Source Audio EQ2 pedal is digital with 2 channels of 10-band fully parametric plus HPF/LPF and shelving options. Channels 1 and 2 can be stacked to make it a 1-channel 20-band. You have to connect to a computer or phone app to adjust the frequencies and Q settings, but once presets are saved...
