If driving your amp loud enough to hit its sweet spot is driving you out of home, the stage or the general neighbourhood, you should consider a reactive load box and attenuator. Right now the arguably best device for your affliction is the mighty Two notes Audio Engineering Reload II. This handsome beast can take two of your amps, a stereo modeller or anything else with a line or speaker output, and temper it to a manageable volume to feed any type of cabinet, DAW or line input. Add some very handy power amp control, a true stereo effects loop, a comprehensive amp/effects/cabinet software suite (Genome) and an industrial strength build, and you may never look back. I certainly haven't since it's been here. Great stuff, Two notes!

$Bretts AC20: Axe-FX III FW 28.03 Preset #130 I shared this patch with the world only last week. I often do that as its good to give to the community and kind of therapeutic for me when Im creating them. But this week the new Axe presets were released for Firmware 28.03 and this one along with a couple of more of mine are burned into it. Thats quite an honour for me considering the famous names that appear in this 384-strong bunch of presets as well. Anyway, this one, Bretts AC20 is number 130 and this little jam (mistakes and all) is the sort of thing I was thinking of when I wrote it. Its 8 Scenes and a bunch of satellite effects that you can switch in/out with each Scene. Theyre all based on the mighty but petite Morgan AC20, which is a very cool twist on the classic AC30. You can see (and hear) the Scene changes in the editor window as Im playing. Ive kept the amp block window open so you can see the various AC20 permutation changes as I go. I think my favourite bits of this patch are the panning delay which I tend to ride a fair bit, and the fuzz face model. Thanks for watching. Theres another version of this video using a Strat (partscaster) with JJs 65 Set Pickups.
