PPIMV and VVR
I switched the PI valve for an ECC82.
Now around 9-11 oclock there is a setting where a strat neck pickup sounds amazing then once past 12 oclock, you need the bridge humbucker for that ultra high gain sound
Can you explain your need for the PPIMV and VVR, it seems to me that the VVR should be a better choice for a Trainwreck clone, but I'm still learning about them, until I'm gonna make the jump to buy either a OTS or a TW (though I still have no idea how to choose between the Expression, Liverpool and Rock It)
I wanted PPIMV anyway
Also I wanted to try VVR on a full-power amp (I have it on 2 low power ones), to see what tones I could get running quieter. The answer is "not the full tone"
The reason for not getting VVR alone, as I understand, is that if you have no PPIMV, and get VVR, then as you turn it down it gets fizzy, rather than saturated. This is exactly what my Express and DZ30 do if I leave the PPIMV off/on full
instead, you turn down both.
Personally I think PPIMV is good to have, but a THD hotplate sounds as good as VVR, and obviously can be shared across your amps.
to keep the forums alive.
