You can hear it pretty clearly in this clip, when I play louder, the sound "sucks in". It makes a sound that kind of reminds me of my Fender Blender too. It completely ruins the sound.

I've tried changing options and it seems to do this almost no matter what. I do have an Overdrive in front of it, but it's set pretty low. Plus an OD into a Plexi is a pretty classic configuration, so it should work anyway.

I actually get a bigger sound playing softer. It sounds ridiculous.

The Brit 80s model sounds pretty bad through headphones/USB, so I have to use this for Marshall sounds...

HaHa .. sounds pretty killer to me ..especially when you clicked over to the crunch channel at 0.42 ..reminds of a marshall breaking up ... Where's ur volume set at ? sounds like its up loud .. and did you try turning the SAG OFF ..that might help with the compression effect ..else it sounds fine to me ..

You might also want to try a Treble Booster instead of the overdrive. That's classic Marshall.

I didn't switch over to the crunch channel, I flicked the pickup toggle.

And sorry while it's a cool sound it's what I use my Fender Blender for, not a Plexi sim, lol.


I'm using the internal overdrive, unfortunately there's no internal treble boost and I don't have one.

Volume is set near full. Turning it down a little can help but then it's too quiet compared to the other patches.

Fender REALLY needs to put a Master Volume patch on all of the models IMO. So I can keep them the same level.

You just need a guitar with seperate volume knobs, lol. I did have a treble bleed fix installed but it doesn't work quite right most of the time.

Well its pretty remarkable...I'd love to be able to click over into a screaming lead distortion like that.... w/o need of a fuzz pedal or foot-switch .. that's freaky.

Is there somewhere to file an official bug report with Fender? This really bothers me :/ I can't use the Uk70s model really now.
