Koch Powertone II EL34 DI

Description

I captured my Koch Powertone II EL34 without cab. Add your own IR. Reamp values are all over the place because I experimented with different values. Boost Ch3 captures with TS to get a tighter metal sound. Amp is a bit on the flubby side and all captures are bright. Decreasing is always easier than adding presence, in my opinion. The Powertone is very flexible. Ch1 has a bright input and a 3-way bright switch. Ch2 and Ch3 have a midshift switch for changing treble pot frequency from 2khz (mid-) to 800hz (mid+). Speaker Damping affects poweramp/cab interaction I think. Low is very flubby, Ultra-low a little less, and High is tighter with more compressed mids. I created these with Humbuckers in mind. But they also work great with singlecoils (except clean channel maybe). My reference IR was York Audio Kerry Wright Mix 1 or 7.
