Ok so excuse the artist and song, I just really like that strat tone from the guitar, I blieve its an Eric Clapton Crashcaster.
I'm using the Fender Bassman Black Face clean profile (from the factory profile list), alot of amp compression, pure boost was already on there so I left that, gain low as its pretty clean. Fiddled with clarity and definition which are around halfway.
It's close, but I just can't get that extra "spack" in the breakup when he hits the strings with the back of his hand. I've tried alot - more compression, preamp gain, several boost pedals. can't quite get it, what else is there? Midboost? I believe that strat has one in the circuit. Turning up the gain doesn't really do anything. Maybe the overall volume needs to be louder?
