Hi all
Been doing some 2.8 FW "Direct" profiling of my Ceriatone DZ30 head / Matchless DC30 clone head.
Am using an ART ZDirect DI.
Its all [procedurally] working fine except that the Profiled Amp - after initial and refined profiling sound is *very* hot and clippy / fizzy ?
As the amp is "clean" but very pushed / on the edge of breakup, I am using the Distortion profiling setting.
Im running the DZ30 pretty cranked [ sounds awesome that way ] - it is a 30w head and I have the Art ZDirect set to -40 db and that is as low as it goes.
Damn it is LOUD when the "alien spaceship-tones" go through the amp !!!!
I have tried the Profiling input/sensitivity DB setting at both 0 db and -5 db but both sound the same ie: too hot and clippy/fizzy.
Any thoughts / suggestions ?
I assume having my DZ30 cranked [ power amp stage running hard ] makes the profile better ?
Or can I drop the cranked level down without affecting the "profile" - maybe its the actual DZ30 clipping the profiles ?
