rd2rk,
you got a friend!!! If you ever come to Vienna, I'll invite you for 25 beer!
Really useful advice. Meanwhile I went down into my basement studio, installed Helix Edit and started from the scratch - starting with the amp/cab block, as you said. I also found the hicut slider. Everything is much easier with the software.
I came a long way during the last hour.
When I installed HX Edit, all my presets were gone. That was the best thing that could happen. I feel like an idiot, because I'm sure the presets have been programmed by experienced professionals but for some reason I didn't like a single one! Maybe I'm just too old for those overloaded patches.
After starting with the La2a compressor at the beginning of the chain, I put it after the amp (like on a record) and like it so much more there.
BTW, do you know if there is a simulation of the Boss CS-3 compressor included in the Stomp? For now I couldn't find anything the sounded close to it. Maybe my next setting problem.
I thought I know something about gear but this modelling is a complete different world!
Will look very closely at your tutorials and youtube video this night!
Thank you once more!
