The joy of the MOD platform is its ability to accommodate and absorb our most insane ideas The most exciting aspect for me is still the options for many, many parallel, switchable paths, having things running in series and/or parallel, using multiple cabinet sims to get the tone I want, running preamps in parallel, or sometimes even L/R using one of the width-control plugins to make sure that they arenāt hard L-R, but instead just giving some width.
That plus the near-infinite variability in how those things are controlled, especially when CV is brought into the mix, and itās worth just seeing what mad nonsense you can conjure up and then try it out 80% of my board started out as āmad nonsenseā
FWIW, I was momentarily using the AIDA plugin for preamp stuff, but then realised how much I like combining a ton of different processing to create a tone that is uniquely mine, rather than a clone of something that exists. Modular tone building is my idea of a great night in Iām sure Iāll be going back and forth with the AIDA models over time, but Iām just as happy using the preamp tube IRs and speaker cabs and EQ plugins.
