Are you using "Hype"?

[Nos402]

While I'm still getting to know the new unit, I've been keeping Hype at 0 to try out the most realistic model sounds but I do think Hype is a great and useful feature! I'm just curious if any of you are generally using it or dialing some in.

Nope. Generally NOT using Hype. Though I do not own any of the Amps that I typically use in the Stadium, I prefer the unvarnished tone from the Amps I have used so far.

 

Though, I may admit that I will go in and use it as a Tone knob. (In other words, I use everything at my disposal to get the tone that I think sits best in the mix - from my guitar, to the Hype Control. I do have it turned up to maybe 2.2 on one of my presets.

 

Building presets takes some time since I use Snapshots and often IR's (though I generally prefer the Line 6 Cabinets - Tone changes when I use an IR and I may like it!) - So...

I often spend time re-building Presets so far... due to bugs and L6 work in progress on the Stadium. :-(

I have been gigging with the Fender Deluxe model.  I kept adjusting things and never go to exactly what I needed.   I tried the Hype feature......turned it up and settled at 4.9.   I have played two gigs with it now and LOVE the tone.  

 

I don't know what it does, but it sounds great.

No, not so far. At the moment I’m working with just two main templates, both based on a dual Vox AC30 patch—one for humbuckers and one for single coils.

For this specific use case, I’m not a fan of the Hype parameter. It doesn’t really add anything useful for me here. That said, I can see how Hype smooths things out in other scenarios, so I’m pretty sure I’ll end up using it selectively, depending on the patch and context.
