Volume seemed to be a regular level control, and I’ll leave the debate about nonliniear effects of the various Bias and Bias FX volume knobs for another forum I tended not to mess with these controls much, keeping them at their minimum volume, when I wanted a strict clean tone, but dialed them up a bit to get an actual acoustic guitar tone. The Mid and Top controls gave a lot of the characteristics you would expect from an acoustic guitar, and made them stronger or weaker. This FX Block had little trouble taking my EMG 707s or Blackouts, at full volume even, and making them crystal clean!

In a somewhat excited internet rountable discussion about cleans some years ago, Ken McLaren of AcmeBarGig said to try his Redshift pickup replacer or even an impulse to accomplish this. Way back in the day, the Marshall JMP-1 seemed magically capable of it, and so it came as no surprise that S_Gear, in VST was also capable of pulling it off. ![]() When it comes time to get a totally, not distorted, bright, clean tone, no matter how hard you hit the guitar, things can get tricky.
