The CH2 of SE+ is based on the high-gain CH3 of the 3+SE preamp and is more saturated and a little more compressed than the CH2 of the PT100. The PT100 is a little more "open" sounding with less compression. The EQ curve is slightly different as well. The SE+ has a little more sag and low-mids while the PT100 is tighter with more high-mid emphasis.
Thank you. I will Probably like the PT100. I really like the tones that Pete Thorn was getting when he was showing his PT100 in his home. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGErfbbJOqg
The combo in your sig seems like the one to beat in 09!
I'm wondering if something between the PT and the hedgehog may be the ultimate channel switcher.
Personally I'm not as interested in the high gain as I'd be in a truly sweet dumbly feeling boosted clean channel but both would be bomb!
Maybe a PT with a nice bouncy compression/suhr pedal circuit internally strapped to the boost function of channel 1 so it breaks up naturally like a cranked super/bassman with a tube screamer.
I love compression on my clean and low mid gain tones so I really wouldnt mind a built in circuit like that on the clean and boosted clean tones.
In fact it would probably help counteract the clean boost from getting louder which I'm not interested in at all. I'd rather have the clean boost simply drive the channel harder fir more sensitivity and grit.
The crunch channel can bypass the compression and simply have the boost function on it,
so perhaps the level of boost can be controlled independantly per channel...
