Thank you both soooooooo much
I hadn't even thought about the IR!!!
@silverhead The EQ block is there ready to turn into a "lead boost" - but I haven't got that far yet!
I will end up recreating the preset from scratch, so your advice is really helpful
@rd2rk - thank you for chiming in and testing. Your advice with the Powercab got me set up for my first gigs using it last year!
I am mainly levelling the presets against each other using the output block- but I am chasing my tail trying to get enough level into the Powercab to get it into the Amber, keeping the presets in the ballpark level of the Jason Sadites presets (as I understand he has optimised them for the powercab) and not have any clipping
I was originally too hot, so reduced them all by 9db and turned up the powercab, but I couldn't get a consistent Amber led - so have turned them back up by 2.5db to get them close to Jason Sadites
I know it is a case of "tweak to taste" but I am determined to get the ones I have levelled properly before I start creating more....
Great shout on the reverb and delay in parallel, will deffo be trying that
The preset does sound quite "stark" on its own, but sits perfectly in a band
Thanks again for the responses
