Recreating the Mick Mars/Mötley Crüe guitar tone with the Friedman JOSE

@Rocco, do you feel like you use the n. presence much, because most people use the vintage due to being more aggressive? And do you feel like there's lots of useful tone options to switch between with the gain styles? One reason why I am so interested in this amp is because it gives me the impression that I wouldn't get bored of it with all the different options. I do find myself wishing the BE50 had some more "flavors" to play with on the high gain modes. Mostly the response knob is the main tool to change the tone.
I'm only using the newer presence when playing in the "3-in-1 mod" mode, so with the gain style switch in the center position.
In the clipping diodes modes (left and right on the gain style switch) the vintage presence works way better, the newer one makes things sound too bloated in the mids when you're in these modes. I feel like the BE50 and BE100dlx still offer a more diverse tonal palette overall, but if we're just talking about the high gain side yeah, the various switching combinations definitely help you getting different flavors!
