I've watched your other videos (can't see this private one) and appreciate the fact the tones are unprocessed. The Empire clip pushed me over the edge to pick up a PTV2. I dig it for some of those things but I haven't fully embraced the aggressiveness. Could be the Marshall 4x12 GMT-75's but there is a raspy, crispy, brashness that sits on top of the note/cord and has an unnatural decay. It's almost like I'm used to tube push and I'm picking up a clipping diode (has to be mental) sound that I can't dial out with any of the switches. So....how did your tube mod go? If I keep this, I'll probably swap tubes or mod it (or get a Smallbox). Maybe an eq in the loop will help but I'm concerned the voicing just isn't for me. Treble is on 3-4. Mid at noon, Bass cranked. Preferred settings are the structure in the middle or down, and sat down. A4 PAF's seem to smooth out some but they are unpotted Mojotone 59 Clones, so they screech like a banshee. The SD 78's are already crispy. SD Frankenstein is thicker and more useable but the A2 highs are still strident. Anderson H2+ is better but still not there. I have 30 + years of cranked tube amps that my remaining hearing is used to, except for the rack years that seem to be making a comeback. Come to think of it, they were tube, too. Keep up the videos!
