When I started building this preset I ran the drive low but it was lacking something. Then I remembered a hack where you use high compression to smooth out an overdriven tone and it gave me the thing I was missing! Do you have a trick for dialing in dynamic clean tones?
Using my HSS Strat, my clean tone approach is similar, but I do Matchstick ch 2 with gain @ 1.3, cut @ 7ish, presence @ 5.5. I have the minotaur always-on with 0.5/4.5/7.2 for a little push. I do run a cali76 blended 75% before I go into the POD Go, so I suppose that’s my biggest trick for great cleans :)

@@jash500 nice! Your setup sounds good! I'm gonna check that out when I have a chance 👍
@ thank you! Had to dial in my pickup heights and set the compressor attack kinda sensitive too. Gives the neck and neck+middle a nice snap and chime.
@@jash500 Pickup height has a surprisingly significant affect on the tone 👍
