Normal Channel or Tremolo Channel?
What do you guys use, the Normal channel or the Tremolo channel? Besides the tremolo, is the Tremolo channel any different than the Normal channel?
Thanks!!!

Re: Normal Channel or Tremolo Channel?
The trem channel is brighter. I use both. On the normal side I have the hi input as a parallel and the lo as a single input. On the trem channel I use mostly the hi input unless I am wanting a cleaner (relatively) effect. So this combination results in a number of choices.

Re: Normal Channel or Tremolo Channel?
I tend to use the "Normal" channels for my clean undistorted sounds but as others have pointed out there are no hard and fast rules. I will also load a preset up with three different amp models [all using the same cab(s) or IR(s) further downstream] using each amp model as a different channel (clean, crunch, lead) of an amp like you would a multi channel tube amp, again, using the "Normal" channel for my clean sound.
I use snapshots to switch between each amp model so I can change various parameters on the amp and cab/IR blocks, and effects when changing "channels".

Are you using a Kemper or something? Those are pretty cool, but they can't quite capture the character or touch-responsiveness of the 18W.axtonboyer wrote: ↑Fri 12/13/19 10:13 amI tend to use the "Normal" channels for my clean undistorted sounds but as others have pointed out there are no hard and fast rules.
