[QUOTE="Mike P, post: 82836, member: 2263"] With all due respect, it's very clear from your description that you've never had any experience with a true 1965 or earlier (Pre-CBS) Fender Twin Blackface amp. The "Blackface" is an awesome sounding amp that breaks up very early. It wasn't a "clean" amp and Randall, once again, got their module wrong, which is nothing new because all of their modules are so off the mark of what they claim that it's truly laughable. Line 6 Pods are more accurate. Randall's "Blackface" has more in common with a '77 silver grill Fender Twin. Those amps stayed cleaned all the way to 10, even with a master volume. They were also completely toneless and fairly undesirable. The LoneClean doesn't break up "more quickly" in the Boogie mode, but it does break up more quickly in the Tweed (Bassman) and Dumble modes because those amps break up quickly. IMHO, if you have to search for tube after tube to get the sound you're looking for (not to mention, spending bank on NOS tubes or $50 preamp tubes), you're either using the wrong module or the design is awful.
