Let's talk about The Cleanness.

[xenious]

And for those of you with single channel amps, you can set your amp dirty and use the cleanness to switch to a clean tone at the same volume.

Hmm. Interesting. I'll have to try this next time I'm at practice. Thanks!

I'd like to see/hear a demo of that. Having a one channel amp myself that sounds appealing.

Yeah. I'd like to try that too at gigs, once I get my second Cleanness. How exactly would you go about doing that again? I'd like to try it out tomorrow with the Cleanness I've got now.

Second Cleanness?? Not on the same board I presume?

Two bands = two Cleannesses.

The second amp channel trick that B-man is talking about is basically like using your Cleanness as a volume pedal or a master volume control.

I do it with my Rectifier distortion channel too, it's a handy way to have basically another amp channel. I set the amp channel for max gain and then I set the Cleanness with the gain down and the master volume dialed back too.. then when I click the Cleanness on I get a lower gain version of my distortion channel. So I can have a clean channel, a distorted channel, and then use the Cleanness as a half-distorted channel, a cleaned up but still crunchy channel.

Same kinda thing as rolling back your guitar volume or using a volume pedal, but a different way of doing it. Plus you can change the EQ up so that your half-distorted channel has it's own EQing and tone.

Hmm... Before I was just planning on using my second Cleanness as a solo boost, but this may be a great option for me, since I normally run my amps cranked with that band, so if I were to put the Cleanness first in my chain, I could use it like a clean channel, since I have a lot of problems getting clean signal out of my amps. Looks like I may start using my Timmy as my base sound, my Klon as a solo boost (or perhaps I could switch the duties of those two), and then I could use the Cleanness as a pseudo clean channel. Mmmmm. Delicious tone for days. haha

Yessir, you've got options! It's just like having a Swiss Army knife and having to decide things like, do I stab someone with the blade or the scissors or saw on them with the serrated blade or go at their eyes with the tweezers or the little pick thingies or just hope they choke on the big red body of the thing... options, man, options!

I think that someone should hold on to my Swiss Army knife for awhile now. You've given me too many ideas.
