I can't get rid of "mud" on my "clean-ish" HXStomp presets when i try to driven my tone
Hi!
Anyone knows how to make external gain pedals sound right in front of clean amps on the HXstomp?
I use a hybrid board, i run a Chase bliss preamp mkII and a Chase bliss Brothers in front of my hx stomp as an amp/cab sim.
I ussually have no problem with a hi gain preset (more headroom presets like the Line6 Litigator and an a Matchless 212 ESD IR).
But when i try to use a more "versatile" clean amp like GrammaticoGSG or US Double Vib, it tends to sound muddy, instead of like a tube screamer/driven clean or dumble amp.
I've seen already many videos trying to figure out if its a headroom problem, or an IR problem (i tend to use a York Audio princeton 110 IR, or a Matchless 212 ESD).
I tried different settings on the amps, tweaking specs, trying louder and lower settings.
Also tried different settings on my pedals. Or the global settings on the HXStomp.
My goal is to get like a JohnNathan Cordy "dumble" sound like in this video but using the gain from my external gain pedals.
